Talking about PMU(Permanent Makeup) in Asia, people often think that it is a cultural adaptation from the West – where it “seems” to be at the forefront of this beauty trend. However, from the perspective of Asian culture in general and Vietnam in particular, long-lasting beauty has existed for a long time. With the Master of Physiognomic PMU, discuss a different view of the concept of “long-lasting beauty” with PMU from thousands of years ago in Vietnam.
Long-lasting beauty revolve around Vietnamese culture
Standards of beauty have changed over the course of history. From the very beginning of forming a tribe – the first form of social organization, tattooing is one of the oldest customs. The most typical is the custom of dyeing (tattooing) teeth. Brau women have the custom of tattooing their faces and teeth, stretching their ears.
Sometimes, painting on the body has a deeper value than just a concept of beauty . According to the book Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu in 1285, the Tran military officers and soldiers wanted to strongly show their determination to fight against foreign invaders and protect the country, so they simultaneously tattooed the two words “Sat Than” (meaning: killing the Tat army, which is the Mongols) on hand to raise morale and encourage the spirit of generals.
The women, everywhere, all the time, they always aspire to make themselves more beautiful. The standard for beauty evolved from the wild to the elegant.
“Van looked gentle with a decent elegance,
Her face a full moon, her eyebrows two long arcs.”
(The Tales of Kieu – Translated by Phan Huy Mạc Phi Hoàng)
When compared to the old days, now women have more make-up such as eyebrow pencils with charcoal soot (can be replaced with cork). Lips should be flushed with traditional red paper or clay. And in modern times, beauty needs to be associated with long-lasting.

Not only talking about the modern nature, the trend of the tattoo industry, tattooing is more and more bringing with it a great cultural acculturation.

“Cosmetic tattooing today is not simply putting a pen and tattoo spaying the eyebrow strokes, the need to learn about physiognomy is increasing. Trends are moving towards combining modern techniques with feng shui and physiognomy of ancient times: like the eyebrow shape must be wide open to be good or the eyebrow hair must be sharp.
