Signification
Applying cosmetics to the face.
Contexte culturel
In classical dance, 'ແຕ່ງໜ້າ' is a sacred process. Dancers often pray before applying makeup, as it transforms them into divine characters. A Lao bride's 'ແຕ່ງໜ້າ' is very distinct, usually involving gold-toned eyeshadow and bright lips to match the gold jewelry and silk 'sinh'. In the capital, K-beauty (Korean style) is very popular. 'ແຕ່ງໜ້າແບບເກົາຫຼີ' (Korean style makeup) is a common request in salons. During Boun (festivals), even older women will 'ແຕ່ງໜ້າ' more than usual to show respect to the temple and the community.
