The mental foundation and cultural environment can be inferred by examining women’s sense of beauty through make up culture in each age. A comparative analysis was performed between Sanyeodo in China and Miindo in Chosun to see association in make up culture, which obtained the following results : First, women in both countries had dual types of make up culture by the social status and preferred the white skin and clean and graceful makeup to match the Oriental idea that a respectable woman is beautiful. Second, standards for beauty in both countries included virtuous looks and sexual charms, the oval and round face, the large forehead, the rich jaws, thin and dark arch-shaped eyebrows, small and gentle eyes, and red lips. Third, Chosun was significantly affected by the Chinese sense of beauty, looks of beauties, and make up techniques, but changed and developed the Chinese culture of showy and heavy makeup into Korean culture to meet its sentiment wisely in pursuit of women’s inner and outer beauty and tried to develop makeup techniques to meet Korean climates rather than to follow those of China unconditionally
