Tribal makeup plays an identity role in many African peoples. In the form of clay, or paint, it has various meanings including:
- Hunting, religious or traditional affiliation, it can also be used for military purposes.
- The social distinction between men and women.
- The rank of a person, indeed the higher the rank, the more the makeup is worked.
Similarly, each color has its interpretation:
- Black symbolizes power, evil, death and mystery
- Purple represents royalty, luxury, wisdom and passion.
- Red stands for danger and boldness.
- Blue embodies peace, calm, trust and affection.
- Green signifies life, growth, freshness and healing.
- White denotes hope, purity and light.
Today tribal makeup has become globalized, many women wear it to celebrate beauty and pay homage to African culture.
