Introduction to Peking Opera facial makeup

I learned that Peking Opera facial makeup is a unique makeup art that shows the character's personality, emotions and physical characteristics through the use of colors, patterns and patterns. It originates from the mask and is one of the important symbols of traditional Chinese culture. The outline of Peking Opera facial makeup is based on life and is also a summary of life.

Different professions have different facial paintings. Among them, the facial paintings of Jingxing are the most complex and rich in patterns, so they are called "painted faces". For ugly behavior, a small piece of white powder is applied on the bridge of the nose, commonly known as "little painted face". Peking Opera facial makeup not only shows the characteristics of the characters, but also embodies the charm and cultural connotation of Peking Opera art.
