DeepWeb1 suggested. I know that she as Noriko wasn't wearing any makeup, but she was at home, not doing anything, so of course she wasn't gonna wear makeup. <figure class="article-thumb tleft show-info-icon" style="width: 290px">

Mother of Faces for the first time. I don't know if it is what really happened, but I think the artist (
Gurihiru, right?) added it as an extra little detail. Nonetheless, it's still a nice touch, in my opinion.

DarkNet1: I was just reading The Fashion In The World Of Avatar, and it said in the cosmetics section of the fire nation fashion that makeup was viewed as a "luxury" and only people like nobles and royalty could only wear them. I doubt she was wearing makeup, as we would've seen her wearing at least winged eyeliner (which is quite common with the wealthy females of the fire nation). <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">
