We share data from the National Heritage Administration on the history of makeup as seen through Korean beauties.

Since ancient times, Korean people have had a lifestyle that favors white color and respects beauty. White and lustrous skin symbolized noble status, so great efforts were made to create white skin regardless of gender. This sense of beauty can be seen in the fact that our ancestors have enjoyed bathing for a long time and in cosmetics using natural ingredients. During the Joseon Dynasty, the unity of knowledge, virtue, and body was pursued, and in a situation where inner and outer beauty were identified, the cleanliness of the skin was emphasized and bathing was frequent to purify the skin. . In order to maintain a clean body and clean clothes, everyone washed their face and brushed their hair as soon as they woke up in the morning, and made an effort to maintain a clean and neat appearance by washing their hands and feet after returning from going out.
