During the Gerewol festival, Wodaabe men carefully apply makeup to enhance their features and appear as attractive as possible. They use natural pigments — yellow to brighten the skin, black around the eyes to make them look larger, and red on the lips — while whitening their teeth with plant-based powders. The goal is to accentuate beauty according to Wodaabe ideals, as men compete through dance and expression to impress both judges and potential partners. #culture #tribe #africa #gerewol #danc
