뜻
Applying cosmetics to the face.
문화적 배경
In Thai offices, 'แต่งหน้า' is often seen as a sign of professionalism. A 'bare face' might be interpreted as being tired or unwell. Thailand's 'Kathoey' culture has made 'แต่งหน้า' a highly developed art form. Many of the country's top makeup artists are from the LGBTQ+ community. During Songkran, people apply 'Din Sor Pong' to each other's faces. While not 'makeup' in the modern sense, it uses the same 'decorate the face' logic. Bridal makeup is a massive industry. It often takes 3-4 hours and involves changing the face to look like a 'Nang Fah' (Angel).
Add 'เป็น' for skill
Say 'แต่งหน้าเป็น' (tàng-nâa pen) to mean 'I know how to do makeup'.
Tone matters
If you say 'หน้า' (nâa) with a high tone, it means 'uncle' (น้า). Be careful!
