The so-called white face, black teeth and pupa eyebrows, in modern terms, are black teeth, no eyebrows and a face with a lot of white powder. Until now, this kind of dress is still sought after by some Japanese people, and geisha is a typical representative.

Then, why is this kind of makeup so popular among people?

To talk about the reasons why these makeup looks are popular, we have to trace the history. According to relevant Japanese historical data, this kind of makeup has already existed in Japan during the Heian period, and became popular among the upper class. And this popular method that gradually developed from the top to the whole people was actually the most common popular method in ancient society. This kind of makeup still existed until the shogunate period, and it slowly faded away until the Meiji Restoration.

As we all know, Japan has always admired Chinese culture in ancient times, and sent an endless stream of envoys to the Tang Dynasty in order to learn Chinese systems, culture, etc. Until now, Japanese culture still retains the cultural characteristics of the Tang Dynasty. The costumes of white face, black teeth and pupa eyebrows are actually related to the Tang Dynasty. To be more precise, they are white faces and pupa eyebrows.

The economy during the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, beauties were also very popular, and there was a state of prosperity through singing and dancing. Along with this, the singer industry has also developed. At that time, there were only lanterns at night in the Tang Dynasty, and if you wanted to dance, you had to be discerning. Therefore, it is necessary to make the face very white to make the blush more obvious, and pupa eyebrows are because women in the Tang Dynasty liked to shave off all their eyebrows.

Therefore, it can be said that this custom is completely inherited from Chinese culture, but continues to be carried forward in Chinese culture.
