Features: Chinese Peking Opera facial makeup is a special patterned design for actors' facial cosmetics. It creates a variety of artistic images with distinct personalities and varied expressions through intricate compositions, vibrant colors, delicate lines, and the techniques of brush strokes. The flower faces in Peking Opera makeup, with their colorful hues and diverse compositions, reveal distinctions between noble and humble, beautiful and ugly, virtuous and wicked, loyal and treacherous. They carry profound judgments, contrasting sharply with the plain and elegant roles of sheng dan jing chou, thereby producing a strong dramatic aesthetic effect. The faces of sheng dan jing chou are colorful and varied, offering an artistic enjoyment that is endless.
