Women in the Tang dynasty loved beauty, especially new hairstyle and facial ornament. In Tang, the main hair styles were half flying bun (banfanji), double circle fairy lady's bun (shuanghuanwangxianji), prisoner bun (qiuji), paojia bun, mother-of-pearl bun (luoji), lily bun (baiheji), round bun(yuanhuanji), etc., decorated with fake ornaments, as hairpins and combs. In order to seek the novel and peculiar beauty, women in the Tang dynasty often created new hairstyle, such as that twice higher than the face. The concubine Yang even uses fake hair as ornament to be different from others.

In the Tang dynasty, eyebrow decoration was an important part of women's facial decoration. The emperor Xuanzong once ordered a painter to draw the paintings of ten ladies with different eyebrows. The ordinary people and officials tried hard to design new types. So it will not be difficult to understand that on the occasion of wedding ceremony in the Tang dynasty, the bride would ask her husband whether her eyebrows was in fashion.

In the Tang dynasty, women also paid much attention to facial ornament, that is, to make up face. The representative makeup is ehuang and huadian. Ehuang was also called yuehuang and yahuang, because woman used yellow makeup powder among the hair above the forehead or used the yellow powder to paint a moon heart in the middle of two eyebrows. Huadian, also called huazi, because it carved the thin leaves made of gold, silver and other treasures into different designs, then stuck it on the forehead, between the two eyebrows and on the two cheeks. As to the ornament on the dresses in the Tang dynasty, the most representative point was to wear foreign male dresses with more parts of body exposed.
