Hanfu makeup skill and hairstyle tutorial, learn how to create a traditional Chinese makeup and ancient beauty.
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 […]
Many viewers feel confused while watching Against the Current (兰香如故). Lin Jinqi (林锦岐), the male character in this historical drama, keeps his hair neatly tied through every plot. He fights invaders, checks accounts and serves in the army, with different hairpins pinned on his head across episodes. Some viewers ask one simple question: are hairpins […]
Open any period drama today. The female lead steps out, and before her face registers, a round, puffed-up bun fills the frame. Her hairline looks drawn by a compass. The crown is padded to cartoonish heights, and side hair flares wide to wrap the entire face. The whole arrangement sits like a helmet. This is […]
Period dramas often train our eyes on clothing first. Silk, embroidery, sleeves—everything seems to announce who matters. Against the Current (兰香如故), set in a Song dynasty household, flips that habit. It asks viewers to look up. In one courtyard, maids wear almost identical gowns, yet their hair quietly sorts them into first, second, and third […]
A single beard can change a face. In Against the Current (兰香如故), Liu Xueyi (刘学义) surprised viewers less with youthful styling than with a carefully trimmed beard. Earlier roles often framed him as a clean, gentle immortal: smooth cheeks, bright eyes, quiet elegance. This time, the beard erased boyishness and added calm, weathered authority. It […]
In the costume drama Against the Current (兰香如故), viewers kept pausing on something smaller than a plot twist: the hair. Young women wore soft, springy blooms, not rows of gold pins or strings of pearls. Those ornaments are velvet flowers, a handmade craft that twists silk and copper wire into petals. Their quiet screen comeback […]
In Against the Current (兰香如故), a quiet detail refuses to stay quiet. Two women return to Lin Manor, and both wear a large phoenix hairpin. One belongs to Zhao Xingtang (赵星棠); the other to Lin Xiuru (林绣茹). Same motif, same family gate, same ritual of arrival. Yet the screen feels different. One hairpin enters like […]
When Chen Shu (陈数) appears in Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri (两京十五日) as Empress Zhang (张), mother of Zhu Zhanji (朱瞻基), she does not look like a modern actress trying on old clothes. She looks like a woman who belongs to the Ming Dynasty court. Leaked set photos show her in a dragon-and-phoenix crown and […]
In Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri (两京十五日), Cheng Yi (成毅) steps out in a black-and-red robe with wide sleeves and a beaded crown. Fans instantly compare it to older historical dramas such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三国演义) and Eastern Zhou: Spring and Autumn (东周列国春秋篇). The garment is called Gunmian (衮冕), and it belongs […]
In Heroes of Dunhuang (敦煌英雄), Zhang Yifan (张艺凡) plays Zhang Shi’erniang (张十二娘). Her cheeks carry a broad red wash. The color spreads over the cheekbones and softens near the jaw. Many viewers blink and ask a simple question: is she drunk, or is the makeup just odd? The answer is neither. This is jiuyun makeup […]
