In this section, we will discuss the steps of the Tang Dynasty single knife half-flipped bun makeup. The floral diadem in today's styling is from a "Silk painting unearthed in Turpan," which is quite grand and personally, I really like it. The single knife half-flipped bun was popular in the early Tang period, so I chose the eyebrow style from the Wu Zhou period, specifically the one from the second year of Chang'an. The steps for the single knife half-flipped bun makeup are as follows: 1. Applying Powder In ancient times, "powder" generally referred to rice powder or lead powder, which were white or slightly green in color. Nowadays, we usually use foundation that matches the skin tone. For the shooting effect, I will choose a shade that is slightly lighter than the normal skin tone. When applying the powder, make sure to apply it evenly and cover the lip color and part of the eyebrows, as both the eyebrows and lips will be redrawn. 2. Drawing Eyebrows When drawing eyebrows, it is important to know which style you are drawing. Generally, start by outlining the bottom line of the eyebrow shape, then draw the eyebrow using a technique similar…

The most flourishing ancient makeup was in the Tang Dynasty, where the extensive use of rouge was a major characteristic of Tang Dynasty makeup. As stated in "The Theory of Makeup," “For a beauty’s makeup, after applying powder to the face, she would also apply rouge to her palms and then spread it on both cheeks; a darker shade is known as the wine flush makeup, a lighter one as the peach blossom makeup; applying a thin layer of rouge and covering it with powder is called the flying red makeup.” In simple terms, applying a heavy layer of rouge to the cheeks results in the wine flush makeup, a light application of rouge creates the peach blossom makeup, and a thin layer of rouge covered with powder forms the flying red makeup. (Wine flush makeup, peach blossom makeup, flying red makeup) Do you think applying rouge is all there is to it? That's too naive. From ancient times to the present, women's makeup procedures are never that simple. Let's take a look at the makeup steps for Tang Dynasty women (from "Chinese Women's Clothing Through the Ages").

The styles and designs of Hanfu have evolved over different historical periods. This article will focus on the face adornments of Ming and Song Dynasty Hanfu, exploring their unique charm and cultural significance. I. Origin and Characteristics of Face Adornments in Ming Dynasty Hanfu The face adornments of Ming Dynasty Hanfu, also known as "face towels" or "jiafan," refer to a piece of facial decoration that covers the area below the lips. The introduction of face adornments originated from the court etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, symbolizing social status. Initially derived from Mongolian face towels on the Mongolian grasslands, they were later introduced to China following the Yuan Dynasty's invasion. The characteristics of face adornments are mainly reflected in materials, design, and usage methods. In terms of materials, face adornments are often made from lightweight and soft fabrics such as silk and satin to ensure comfort and breathability.

To better match the costume, Guo Jingjing also made a slightly traditional hair accessory. Although it was just a simple middle part fringe with shoulder-length hair, if Jingjing happened to have long hair reaching her waist, it would look even more impressive. Fortunately, she spent a lot of effort on the hair accessory, which added a lot of points; Jingjing chose a light-colored ribbon and bead hairpin, which looks dynamic and powerful, immediately giving a sense of a dynastic TV series.

0. The integration of materials and colors is best, visually clean and ancient, rarely possessing both historical and cultural atmosphere and poetic charm. It is the best fabric choice for Hanbok. Silk has a gorgeous and beautiful texture, so it is important to avoid highly saturated or light, thin colors (bright red, bright green, pink, etc.). The best choices are children-friendly, low saturation colors including stone blue, soybean green, pine flower yellow, carmine red, etc. Chiffon and synthetic silk fabrics are difficult to coordinate with good colored fabrics. Not to mention synthetics, just seeing the ubiquitous low-quality qipaos worn by hotel servers today shows the destructive effect. Chiffon fabric looks dignified but when placed next to cotton linen and silk, it lacks calmness and elegance no matter how good the color is. Fabric choice is very important. Therefore, I personally do not recommend chiffon as Hanfu fabric. Of course, if it is hot summer or personal preference, making a few sets of chiffon Hanfu is not questionable. But please remember. For some questions about ancient style Hanfu for boys and girls in winter and pictures of women's Hanfu in winter, what would you like to know? Next, let the editor…

Borrowing from Chinese imagination, Korean historical dramas are essentially plagiarizing Chinese elements. In South Korea, Chinese TV shows are not broadcasted, yet they plagiarize various elements from our traditional costume dramas, claiming them as their own, and portray Chinese people in a negative light with queue dramas. In reality, the revealing attire and white clothing are their national costumes. The Koreans in ancient times lacked even dyeing technology, with 97% wearing crudely made coarse clothing, while only 3% of the nobility could wear garments made from imported Chinese fabrics. Only a few nobles in ancient times received clothes as gifts from Chinese emperors. Now, they shamelessly claim the costumes in our traditional dramas as their own and attempt to beautify their impoverished and backward history. The beautiful hanboks we see today were actually redesigned by Japanese and Westerners after Japanese colonization, with modern elements added in recent times. As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects their inner self, and so does their fate. The heart is like a pearl that illuminates the world; a mere destiny cannot obstruct the power of the heart. Therefore, a person with a good heart need not fear even if born under an unfavorable star.…
