In Mulan, Liu Yifei has the appearance of an ancient lady. What was a woman's makeup like at that time?
A few days ago, once the Mulan preview starring Liu Yifei was released, many netizens vomited about the scene of Mulan dressed as a lady in the preview. This look is very strange, it looks neither fish nor fowl, and it doesn't conform to the public aesthetic. However, this is indeed in line with the history at that time. Even though it looks unpleasant, it is undeniable that most women use it to dress themselves up. At that time, a woman's forehead will be painted yellow, her cheeks will be painted rouge, her mouth will be painted red, and a small flower will be drawn between her eyebrows, which is a bit like a Japanese woman.

Hua Mulan lived in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and her deeds were basically heroes, joining the army for her father. In front of people, Mulan wears armor and battle clothes, and few people regard her as a woman. In the era when she lived, women's looks were generally "yellow makeup on their foreheads". No matter old women or young women, they will paint some yellow on their foreheads, some cover their foreheads, and some just draw a small circle in the middle of their foreheads, which is determined by the fullness of women's foreheads at that time. Different occasions need different degrees of forehead yellow makeup. Let's talk about their red lips, which basically outline the outline of their lips and look rosy and full. The most exaggerated thing is the thick blush on the cheeks, which creates a feeling of white inside and red outside. If you apply too much, the effect will be opposite to the expected effect.

After facial makeup, let's talk about additional facial modification. At that time, popular women drew a little red sign on their foreheads or eyebrows, which looked extremely playful and lovely. This is a local custom that every woman must abide by. Not only that, but their hairstyles are also very particular. Most women in the Southern and Northern Dynasties wore that kind of high bun, and the methods and forms of braiding were diverse and the whole was slightly complicated. For those women who match better, they look more beautiful on the whole.
