Makeup According to the Eastern (Chinese) Calendar

The fashion world is developing in a circle. The things that were urgent yesterday are obsolete and ridiculous today, and tomorrow they will likely be back on the crest of a wave. It’s no wonder they say that new is just the well forgotten old. Many fashion trends are not that new because every now and then we are sent back to the rebellious 60s, the glamorous 70s, and the bold 80s. And sometimes the fashion is far into the past, into other historical periods.

Do you wonder in what direction the art of makeup will develop? What will makeup artists offer in one, two, or even five years? Plunge into the atmosphere of the past hidden by a transparent veil and mysterious haze and see the magical attractiveness contemporaries do.

Makeup by years: 12 Oriental calendar animals

Let’s consider makeup related to the Chinese (Eastern) lunar calendar. Where else but in the East are people able to follow the changes taking place around them with wise tranquility!

A Few Words on the Chinese Lunar Calendar

Legend has it that one day Buddha invited the animals to his birthday. However, only twelve of the invited animals came. The weather was too bad, and the river, which they had to overcome, was too deep. First came the Rat, cleverly staged on the back of an Ox. The Ox was second, and the third was the tiger, both of whom are considered hostile rivals. They were followed by the Cat, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog, and, finally, the Pig (Boar). These twelve guests received an award from the Buddha: from now on each one of them had one year dedicated to them.

A year in the Chinese calendar not only relates to the animal but also to a certain element. There are five elements: earth, wind, fire, metal, and water. Each element has the characteristics of Yin and Yang and therefore lasts for two years. The elements have a corresponding color as well. Earth - brown, wind - green, fire - red, metal - white (gold), water - blue (black). Taking into account all characteristics, the cycle is repeated every 10, 12, and 60 years.

What if trendy makeup is also cyclical?

Do You Believe in Horoscopes?

"Of course not," is what you’d probably say, and I’d pretend that I don’t believe in them either. But then who keeps reading all of those horoscopes on their way to work? People want to look to the future, to build things in a certain order, to keep everything under control - and this is an absolutely normal desire. Like it or not, Eastern horoscopes are a useful thing!
