Thanaka, or Myanmar/Burmese Face Paint


Virtually every woman, and some men, wear this as a protectant against the strong sun.  Couldn't get a clear photograph of a woman, so took this child's instead.  It seems most applied it with a rectangular sponge and had both cheeks covered.  Others have patterns, and still others look like the starting linebacker for the Seahawks, applying the yellowish paste in a streak under their eyes.
