Japan makeup avaUsually, we write about traditional clothing, folklore costumes, and the history of fashion, but makeup is another aspect of traditional clothing culture. In some countries, makeup is as important as the folk attire itself. So, we’ve decided to gather all the posts about traditional makeup here to help you with any research papers, homework assignments, college essays, courseworks, and other educational projects. Also, we specified whether you have permission to use the photos from each post. You’re welcome to use this info.
