Izayoi's makeup

Izayoi's lip-coloring makeup was a beauty product that she used to apply colour, texture, and protection to the lips.

History
Being born in a wealthy/noble family, it is possible that Izayoi inherited the makeup from her mother or any other women born in the family, probably along with the other makeup kit. Izayoi used the lip-coloring makeup before going outside into public places when she was alive, even before and after the birth of her only son.

After dying, Izayoi left Inuyasha with two things from her as a memento: the makeup itself along with his Robe of the Fire-Rat. Some time later, Inuyasha gave the makeup to his first love, Kikyō.

The makeup was destroyed by Naraku when he struck down Kikyō disguised as Inuyasha.



Trivia

 * It is customarily since ancient times for women (at first for noble women, later for common women as well) to use cosmetics, including lip-coloring makeups.
 * Moroha has a similar makeup pouch to the one that Izayoi had, which she kept her Red Rainbow Pearl in. It is a possibility that Inuyasha made a new makeup pouch, but as a present for Kagome, and that Moroha keeps that new pouch as a memento of her mother.
