The Face powder hag or "Oshiroibaba" is a demon from Japanese mythology. She tries to trick pretty young girls into using her white face powder, claiming it will make them more beautiful.
Oshiroibaba is an old woman who walks through the snow wearing an oversized hat, leaning on a cane carrying a vial of white powder. Her wrinkled face is covered in layers of white makeup.
She appears on cold nights, asking pretty young girls to try some of her special face powder. She says that if they use it, it would make them more beautiful.
However, as soon as the powder touches their face the girls start to feel a horrible burning sensation. Their skin starts to peel of, and the flesh starts to rot and fall off their skull. Leaving nothing but a hideous skull behind.
The Oshiroibaba uses the flesh for her own purposes.
