In Morocco, the art of beautifying lies essentially in the hands of a woman called in the North Ziyana, the "beautifyer", and everywhere else Neggafa. Initially designated inside the family or the clan, she is now an accomplished professional woman. Following a road that leads them from the North of Morocco to the South, Hajja Khadidja and Fanida, captivating tale tellers, initiate us to the secrets of beauty care ; keepers of the patrimony, they unveil for us the secrets of the treasures of ornaments accumulated through generations ; experts and careful, they lead us with warmth and generosity through the universe of beauty and seduction.
