Hanfu makeup skill and hairstyle tutorial, learn how to create a traditional Chinese makeup and ancient beauty.
When Wu Jinyan (吴谨言) appeared in first-look photos from her new costume drama Daobi Niangzi (刀笔娘子), viewers noticed the hair before the face. Three long silver pins rose from her bun like short blades, sharp in silhouette yet balanced enough for a historical heroine. The look seemed too bold for a palace story, but the […]
Viewers who meet Zhou Jieqiong (周洁琼) in The Lament of Autumn (玉簟秋) often pause at her forehead. A short tuft hangs near the brows, as if a straight fringe lost its side sections. At first glance, the strand breaks the face’s symmetry and looks odd beside today’s side-swept or airy bangs. The drama places her […]
Costume dramas invite viewers into a made-up past, yet small choices can break the spell. In Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui reunite after Blossoms of Power (九重紫), so expectations were high. When the first stills arrived, fans hoped for a fresh historical look. Instead, many viewers paused at the same […]
A single row of jade beads can start a historical argument. When Meng Ziyi (孟子义) appears in a regent’s costume in the new drama, viewers see power, ambition, and a familiar silhouette. The crown’s dangling beads make many think of Wu Zetian (武则天). The comparison is tempting: a woman behind a curtain, a court below, […]
In Against the Current (兰香如故), Li Meng (李梦) plays Zhao Xingtang (赵星棠), a woman whose entrance announces authority. Two long pins sit slantwise beside her bun. Each tip is a tiny spoon. At first glance, the pins look like mini earpicks stuck in her hair. The choice seems odd, almost comical. It is not a […]
On 17 October in Chengdu, at the third Sanlian Humanistic City Season ceremony, the Xunpu zanhua headdress experience from Fengze District in Quanzhou, Fujian, was named one of ten Urban New Solutions for 2026. It was the only Fujian entry on the list. Zhuang Qun (庄群), a municipal-level inheritor of the Xunpu women’s custom, presented […]
Turn on any recent Chinese period drama and something feels off. The sets look right. The silk robes shimmer with historical detail. Then the camera moves to the actress’s face, and there it is: a wispy fringe, airy bangs, or those tiny baby hairs plastered across the forehead. The spell breaks. Why do productions that […]
In the new costume drama Where the Mask Ends (嫁金钗), Tian Xiwei (田曦薇) wears a Han-style look that has caught many viewers’ eyes. Most period shows fill hair with phoenixes, silk flowers, and long gold tassels. Her leaf ornaments are quieter. They look clean, soft, and easy to keep watching. Many people assume the crew […]
Why would a princess wear a peach on her head? In Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), Meng Ziyi (孟子义) plays Mu Wanyao (暮晚摇), a royal woman whose peach-shaped crown catches the eye at once. It looks strange beside the familiar phoenix crowns and flower-hairpin crowns of many period dramas. The design is not a writer’s […]
A recent behind-the-scenes photo of Chen Yao (陈瑶) in a Guanyin-inspired look made viewers stop. A thin white cloth rested on her head. No crown, no gold, no heavy ornament. Some people first called it a bridal veil. It is not. The cloth points to a longer visual habit: images of White-Robed Guanyin shaped during […]
