As modern society respects individuality, opens and is getting verified, people became to pursue the things that are more stimulating and individual. In such a stream of times, women’s desire to express one’s individuality and beauty continued to the development beauty-related industry as well as fashion industry, which enabled women to depart from the standard pattern of the time during the time when women’s advancement in society was oppressed. As recent fashion industry is also sensitive to diversity and pluralism, and is active in such a tendency, deconstructive mode is forming a mainstream. Thus, this study analyzed a make-up technique expressed as pluralistic deconstructionism through the works shown in the collection of Vivienne Westwood, a representative English fashion designer and leader of deconstructionism avant-garde fashion. As a result, this study found that difference-applied make-up has the harmony of the east and the west, harmony of the future and the past, oriental feeling etc. Intertextuality-applied make-up was expressed as a type of mixing mode through texture and color, female masculinities or make-up that both genders are mixed up. In uncertainty-applied make-up, irregular ambiguity, disharmony of intended blurredness or the feeling of intentional incompleteness was expressed as a type of make-up. Deviation-applied make-up expressed make-up through deconstruction of centrism by breaking unity using a line, denying mathematical completeness through transformation of the shape of eyes of lips or expressing eye make-up asymmetrically. To sum up, Vivienne Westwood fashion show was attempting a diverse, daring and deconstructive make-up, which shows another communication that inosculates the past, the present and the future, not simple transformation or destruction.
