Does anyone know what it is called? its an african culture thing where females(i think) wear brown-colored?

Question

make up and grin and flash their eyes? i think it might be a ritual of sorts.

i was watching a Nat Geo commercial earlier and i think it's really interesting to see...maybe it's in youtube?

Answer 1

You're referring to the Wodaabe/Bororo, a nomadic tribe of Central Africa.

Those wearing the make up and flashing their eyes are MALE, it is the gerewol dance and it's primary purpose is to attract females.
