International Beauty Day

September 9 · Level 6 · #911 of 2238

International Beauty Day is an informal occasion recognising beauty professionals and the enjoyment of personal care. It brings together creativity, aesthetics and different ways of expressing individual style, without requiring everyone to share the same idea of a beautiful appearance.

How it is celebrated: salons and professional communities offer workshops, showcases and themed promotions. Makeup artists, beauty therapists and other specialists share techniques and ideas for personal looks.

Makeup is much older than the modern beauty industry. In ancient Egypt, both men and women wore eye makeup, making the practice of emphasising the eyes a tradition stretching back thousands of years.
