A lively discussion has emerged regarding whether characters in Attack on Titan would wear makeup before heading into battle. This topic is sparking opinions across various forums, where fans weigh in on the practicality and cultural implications of cosmetics in the AOT universe.
Makeup Culture in Paradis and Marley
Many contributors point out that Paradis Island likely lacks a widespread makeup culture. "I feel like the Paradisians didn’t invent makeup yet," one commenter noted. They suggest that, while makeup could be a privilege for the wealthy, soldiers on the front lines don’t have the time or opportunity.
"I can’t see soldiers having time to wear makeup at all. They’re not even allowed to have long hair."
In contrast, users mentioned that characters from Marley might treat makeup differently.
A user remarked, "Hitch talks about and is seen applying makeup when she was an MP," suggesting higher societal norms around appearance in that locale.
Key Characters' Looks
Fans have their favorites when it comes to which characters might wear makeup:
Pieck: Regarded as a "pure face," with no makeup aside from possible lip balm.
Hange: Also deemed 100% "pure face for sure".
Historia (Krista): Would likely wear pink lip balm, especially when taking on her royal duties.
Another funny note from the forums included:
"Theo Magath does his contouring every morning."

The sentiment ranges from contemplative to playful, as fans engage with the topic in a mix of factual references and jokes. Commenters are both critical of and amused by the notion of warriors worrying about their looks when facing existential threats.
