A Study on Military Makeup Design With Camouflage Characteristics during CRISIS

Purpose: Since the beginning of times, humans have had to deal with food, clothing, and shelter. As they evolved and progressed, they did not have any medium of protection when dangers emerged from the environment, like animals. The origins of the army, was as a group of humans who had to protect themselves. Camouflage started when humans had to protect themselves from other humans, rather than animals or external factors, so they needed an additional protection apart from weapons. Method: This study concluded that military camouflage pattern characteristics were concealment, display, and distortion, respectively. Based on these features, camouflage makeup patterns were conceived. Concealment is hiding in order to permeate terrain in a war; showiness is a means of showing one’s rank or situation by means of a military uniform; and distortion is similar showing a distorted appearance by concealing it. Results: Based on Camouflage Art, which shows us as if we re one in our surroundings.Using the camouflage characteristics of the military look, three works were made with makeup, symbolic colors were added to make each characteristic visible, and objects were used to express them. Conclusion: This work is a research on makeup patterns that use protective media such as camouflage in crisis. It is believed that this study can have a good influence not only in the industrial application of beauty but also in the military and fashion circles.
