Hiding your face with makeup in a dream - dream meaning with inherited lore
Hiding your face with makeup may show a gap between how you want others to see you and how you feel you are right now.
You apply heavy makeup or layer it over part of your face as if to hide it. You may be conscious of others’ eyes on you, or touch up makeup you’re unhappy with.
Korean lore: Dreaming of putting on makeup has sometimes been linked to appearance or keeping up a good front. If you strongly felt you were hiding your face, it may also suggest keeping your true feelings to yourself. (Folk interpretations sometimes link makeup and covering the face with keeping up appearances or how you present yourself to others.)
Through the mind: You may be tense from trying not to make mistakes in front of others or from keeping up the image your role calls for. Whether you felt at ease or uncomfortable after finishing your makeup may offer a clue to what’s weighing on you now.
