Can we get a nice closeup of a eye with full shadow on it? A picture of some being applied is useful but is of secondary importance to illustrating the concept. Daniel Case 23:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Far East" section
I'm removing this from the article:
The East 1500 BC: In China and Japan rice powder was used to paint faces pasty white. Eyebrows were shaved and plucked, teeth were painted gold or black, and Henna dyes were used to stain hair and faces.
The reason I'm removing it is I don't see what, if anything, that has to do with eyeshadow. Not only does it seem incongruous with the rest of the article, but it contradicts itself. Pale complexions were valued in these cultures (heck, they still are except for many ギャル subcultures in Japan), so why would henna dyes be "used to stain hair and faces"? Dying hair could possibly make sense, but not faces. 76.99.199.53 (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
