Name: _______________________

Read this excerpt from a lecture on different cultures’ perception of beauty. Then on the next page, match the beginnings and endings of the sentences.

As an historian and a student of beauty and perception throughout history, I have found several examples of cultures with either narrowly or widely defined perceptions of beauty. For example, if you were an Aztec women from Central America, you were mainly expected to wear your hair in only one of two ways: long and loose down your back if you were unmarried, and in two tufts if you were married. In contrast, wealthy Ancient Egyptians often shaved their heads and wore elaborate wigs, showing a preference for a variety of hairstyles. A culture’s preference for a specific type of facial features is another interesting area. For example, the art of the Olmec Indians from southern Mexico indicates a clear preference for full and rounded facial features. The Mayans, on the other hand, preferred high prominent cheek bones and generally thinner and more angular features. The Mayans also found crossed eyes a beautiful feature. Another interesting fact about the Aztec women is they rarely wore make-up unless they were accompanying warriors, at which time they wore yellow ochre make-up and dyed their teeth red. However, it is possible that this was done to create an aura of fierceness rather than for the sake of beauty.
