Literature Study on the Impact of Age Development on Changes in Javanese Bridal Makeup

Abstract

The rapid development of the times has influenced various aspects of life, including Javanese bridal make-up traditions. This article examines modifications to Javanese bridal make-up, especially for Muslim brides, to respond to modern aesthetic demands and the social changes that are occurring. This modification of make-up can be seen in changes in technique, use of cosmetics, and styling of the hijab which is more practical but still maintains traditional elements. Adjustments to bridal make-up in various regions, such as Sidoarjo, Trenggalek, Bojonegoro and Jogja, reflect efforts to maintain a balance between cultural values and the needs of today's brides. As a result, bridal make-up has become simpler and more minimalist, but still maintains deep cultural symbolism and philosophy. This article shows that modifications to Javanese bridal make-up are a solution to deal with the impact of changing times, so that traditions remain relevant and accepted by the younger generation.
