Make-Up Tips Of The Women In The Tang Dynasty
This is my final project infographic 1 'Make-Up Tips Of The Women In The Tang Dynasty' in the GKT1293 infographic class. I used Adobe Illustrator (Ai) to create my own infographic 1. My concept design is from chinese style. I use element of chinese and illustration to explain the step of make-up. Traditionally Chinese was written from right to left in vertical columns. About the color I use is dark blue and golden because dark background can highlight cute illustration and fonts. I use one font to explain the content.
The Tang dynasty (Chinese: 唐朝), or Tang Empire, was an imperial dynasty of China. Facial makeup was an elaborate process for Tang Dynasty women. It began with a foundation of face powder, followed by rouge and a dusting of light yellow powder. Bluish black eyebrows were then painstakingly painted in, lipstick applied, and dimples either added or accentuated. Last was an ornamental design either pasted or painted on the forehead. Although facial makeup had not been invented in the Tang Dynasty, it advanced during this progressive era. Eyebrows have always taken precedence within Chinese facial aesthetics, each style with its own name. Tang Dynasty eyebrows painted in bluish black were called daimei, long, fine eyebrows were emei, and guangmei eyebrows were short and thick. Eyebrow modes seen in the imperial palace included the yuanyang, xiaoshan, sanfeng, chuizhu, yueleng, fenshao, hanyan, fuyun, daoyun, and wuyue. Popular folk eyebrow styles included the liuye, queyue, kuo and bazi.
