世界美发日简介
美发美发是一门综合的艺术，它涉及广泛，须掌握多门学科，一个设计成功的发型，必将设计对象的头部、脸部优点显露出来，缺点遮盖起来；设计优秀的发型，可使人自我感觉良好，让他人耳目一新，既有实用价值，又有审美情趣。发型设计的水平，可以体现一个民族的文化观、审美意识的水准，能够体现一个国家的文明程度。影响发型设计主要有：头型、脸型、五官、身材、年龄，其次有职业、肤色、着装、个性嗜好、季节、发质、适用性和时代性。美容美容（Facial make-up，art of）让容貌变美丽的一种艺术。埃及古代时期，人们为了滋润皮肤和防止日晒，在皮肤涂抹各种药剂和油膏。古埃及妇女喜欢用黑颜料来描眼的轮廓，孔雀石粉制成的绿颜料涂在眼皮上，用黑灰色的锑粉把眉毛描得像柳叶一样细长，用乳白色的油脂抹在身上，使用红颜料涂抹嘴唇和脸颊，甚至在手、脚的指甲上都要染上橘红色，非常惹人注目。美容在欧洲中世纪非常流行，到了文艺复兴时期，美容艺术大大发展。大家不惜花费大量的时间和金钱，涂脂抹粉、擦口红、卷发、染发、用东方进口的麝香抹手和皮肤。19世纪80年代，西方开始出现了近代美容院。在中国殷商时期，人们已用燕地红蓝花叶捣汁凝成脂来饰面。根据记载，春秋时周郑之女，用白粉敷面，用青黑颜料画眉。汉代以后，开始出现妆点、扮妆、妆饰等字词。唐代出现了面膜美容 。据记载 ，杨贵妃使用的面膜，是用名贵的中草药提炼而成，并用珍珠、白玉、人参研磨成粉，以上等藕粉调和。这种古老的美容面膜不但可祛除黄斑，能使皮肤白嫩，还能将毛孔深处的污垢、油脂排除和清除。现代社会妇女拥有更多、更先进的美容方法，她们通过自然美容、蒸汽美容等，使自己青春常驻、容颜俊美。美容专家预测，喷雾型和涂抹型化妆品的需求量将大幅度提高，这些化妆品使美容方法更加简单易行，大家可以在家里自行操作，这促使家庭美容更加普及。
