Since our wedding makeup has adapted to the tastes and custom of people, it has created novel wedding culture from western. Modern makeup techniques are harmoniously combined with our traditional makeup techniques, considering faces and senses of Korean people. Therefore, as a result of analysing the processes of makeup and up style hair for brides in 1980s-2000s, we suggest that they are aesthetic products for which historical and cultural situations are reflected. For up style hair in 1980s, retro style for which fringe and back-combing were used a lot for voluminous hair and colorful makeup was very popular for which a variety of colors were used. In the mid-1980s, natural makeup focusing on clear skin, less eye shadow and rich red rips was popular. For up style hair in 1990s, elegant and traditional looks were preferred for which volume was given on back or nape points of hair by braiding or in a bun.
For makeup trends, makeup was thick and dark in the beginning of the period, but as natural style was preferred as time went by, natural makeup for pure brides was enjoyed by a lot of people. In 200s, various up style designs appeared to express personality and deliver aesthetic senses out of existing styles. And in 2000s, natural style of hair was popular rather than refined and elaborate style. Makeup points were given to parts each bride wanted to highlight according to her personality rather than eyes, noses and lips. For of 2008, current up style hair designs of brides are categorized into three parts according to purposes: wedding, party and show business. In this study, we found that up style hair of each bride is designed to highlight their confidence as brides and is represented as a strong desire for beauty. As of 2008. for wedding up style hair, no pieces and wigs are used and natural hair is beautifully represented below the nape points. For wedding makeup, a focus is given on clear and bright skin and natural hair without excessive highlight or exaggeration. The main colors are soft orange, pink and skin beige.
