First, regarding the preparation of makeup, the overall tone of Miao makeup is the condensation of sweat, which is China's meticulous brushwork. This is a fine brushwork in a general direction. Compared with freehand brushwork, meticulous brushwork emphasizes neat and meticulous realistic painting, and light color is the choice of light color, which is often used in ancient ladies' paintings. Because A Dream of Red Mansions has no specific dynasty to trace back, combining the Ming and Qing Dynasties with other dynasties is the direction.
The reason why the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions is like the life of ancient people is because the makeup at that time made it clear that beauty should be combined with life, not simply imitating ancient times, but innovative artistic reality, which portrayed the life of women at that time with heavy makeup, but did not feel too far away from real life to accept. In order to create characters logically, Yang Shuyun chose Guo Bang's age line of "Daiyu entered Jiafu at the age of thirteen", and then planned other people's ages and makeup.
Don't think that 1987 cosmetics will be rough and simple. Many cosmetics prepared by Teacher Yang Shuyun at that time were very advanced. Miss Yang Shuyun didn't use mascara. He specially used various eye shadow creams brought back from abroad for the actors, which not only highlighted the beauty of the eyes, but also modified the face from different angles. Japanese base, Italian powder cake and natural rouge are also used to create makeup. Not all cosmetics are expensive, but everyone will use different makeup.
Second, through the seven steps of makeup and hairdressing, highlight everyone's characteristics. There are 42/kloc-0 women portrayed by Cao Gong in A Dream of Red Mansions. Even if there are so many people, none of them are the same. Tso Gong wrote that people are "seeking differences from the same" because they are different, so Yang Shuyun did the opposite when he put on makeup.
Brushing eyebrows, the first step of overall makeup, was valued by people in ancient times. They think that double eyebrows are the superficial symbol of people's fate, and the overall mental state of a person's face can be changed through eyebrow trimming, so boudoir women will pay special attention to eyebrow trimming, and there are also husbands who stroke their wives' eyebrows in boudoir fun. Then in the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions, every woman's eyebrow shape has its own characteristics, and even different women can be seen through different eyebrow shapes.
Daiyu's eyebrows reveal her sadness and morbid beauty.
Daiyu's eyebrows are vivid features, but her Daiyu's eyebrows can't be found in the pictures of ancient ladies, which were originally created by Cao Gong. People who are not familiar with eyebrows will think it is an "inverted eyebrow", but it is not. This eyebrow shape is like a cigarette hanging on a mountainside. The color of the eyebrows is written by "Looking through the willows" in Xiao Yu, which belongs to Tsao Gong's good friend Guo Min. This is a shallow eyebrow shape, which accords with Daiyu's weak state.
Daiyu's eyebrows also have the characteristics of "product-like frown" Both frown and frown show "wrinkles", which shows that she highlights Dai Yu's sadness. Daiyu is a sentimental girl. When she is sad, her eyebrows will wrinkle unconsciously, which will make the whole person feel a sense of pity, but at the same time, she has the beauty of "three points of illness is good".
Wang Xifeng's willow leaves droop her eyebrows, but she is as beautiful as a fairy but has a snake in her heart.
It is appropriate to describe the beauty of women with willow eyebrows, which can show the graceful and charming beauty of women, but Wang Xifeng's eyebrows are a little more charming, so she highlights the smart part of her character. Wang Xifeng is a beautiful woman, but she also has the ferocity of snakes and scorpions in her heart. Anyway, she is a person who is afraid and likes.
When Yang Shuyun wrote "hanging eyebrow with willow leaves", he borrowed a lot from willow leaves. After many experiments and comparisons, he found the most suitable one. There are many steps for Wang Xifeng to thrush and trim her eyebrows. First, lower the eyebrows, raise the eyebrow arch, then shape it with glue, and then draw a big eyebrow arch with finely cut eyebrows to increase the height of the eyebrows to show the clever choice of women.
Charming, Wang Xifeng is a serious person, but she is also full of amorous feelings. Wang Xifeng's "eyebrow removal" increases the distance between eyebrows and eyes, and also shows the nobility and reserve of women. On different occasions, Wang Xifeng looks different. She will always live a wonderful life.
Beautiful eyebrows, playful beauty.
Besides changing the color of eyebrows, you can also make small articles between them. Among them, you can put some flower buds on your forehead. According to legend, Yang Guifei decorated the small scar on her brow with peach blossom buds, which not only did not hinder her, but added a touch of beauty. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Xiangling has a natural rouge in her brow. Teacher Yang Shuyun specially added a "pretty eyebrow" bud for Fangguan and Xiangyun, in order to express their sadness in learning drama.
Although the focus is on shaping the eyebrows of Daiyu and Wang Xifeng, among them, Teacher Yang Shuyun refers to many books about eyebrows, among which the "crescent eyebrows" commonly used by women in ancient life are used for Jia Mu, and the "smoke eyebrows" that are not used for Daiyu include distant eyebrows, smoky eyebrows, horizontal eyebrows and dizzy eyebrows. Different eyebrow shapes are suitable for different occasions and different people. Eyebrows seem small, but they are an indispensable part of makeup.
Eyes, a person's eyes can talk, people often say that "eyes are the windows of the soul", which is absolutely true, because people control their emotions but their eyes can't hide their illusions. In the face of a person who loves deeply but can't love, they can say goodbye but the love in their eyes can't be hidden; A surface is gentle and kind enough, but the indifference and malice in the eyes can't be hidden; If a person has no distractions, then his eyes will be clear and bright, so if you want to see through a person, you must look into his eyes first.
Daiyu's "tears" are painted with gray-green eye shadow.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, Daiyu is a sentimental girl who dares to pursue free love. She and Baoyu can fall in love freely, but it is difficult to be together. Daiyu often cries for Baoyu, so her eyes always seem to be full of tears.
Coupled with Daiyu's sad tears from time to time, Daiyu's eyes are "tears". When designing, Mr. Yang Shuyun will occasionally apply gray-green eye shadow to Daiyu's eyes. This kind of makeup not only did not destroy the overall appearance of ancient ladies' makeup, but added Daiyu's sadness.
Wang Xifeng's triangular phoenix eye is beautiful enough and cruel enough.
Wang Xifeng's phoenix eye is also the most obvious feature on her face. The phoenix eye is an extremely slender eye, with a hook inside and an upturned outside, extending to the vicinity of the temple, and opening and closing with divine light. This kind of eye shape is the standard of ancient beauty, which embodies the subtle and feminine appearance, and it is the same for concubines in the palace.
Wang Xifeng's eyes prove that she is a beauty, but the love triangle shows her charming, handsome but vicious side. Search smiled and talked to Gary, who molested her, but pretended to be kind enough to take Second Sister You back to her room, but search's eyes flashed and she wanted to kill them both long ago.
In fact, Wang Xifeng's triangle phoenix eye makeup is not easy. Draw at both ends of the inner and outer corners of the eyes, and use ochre (reddish brown) eye shadow. Multi-level eyes disappear from deep to shallow along the eyeliner. However, simple makeup is not enough. Teacher Yang braided the hair on both sides of Wang Xifeng's sideburns, hung it on her head and hid it under her hair. It hurts the scalp, but it's really hard to move.
Miaoyu's "cold eyes" are outside the threshold of Buddhism.
Miaoyu is a rare but important figure in A Dream of Red Mansions. She was a little girl who was forced to become a monk, which made her unique existence in Buddhism.
Miaoyu calls herself an outsider, which means that she has seen through life and death and the fame and fortune in the world. Even if she is not understood and accepted, she disdains to associate with others, so with this mentality, Miaoyu's makeup can be well grasped.
Miaoyu's real eyelashes are very good, and there are natural black halos around her eyes. Only a little modification is needed to shape Miaoyu's bright and deep eyes. Miaoyu, like Daiyu, has a delicate heart and seven tricks. Through her eyes, you can see her inner world, pure and clear, without dust. Coupled with Miaoyu's concise temperament, her eyes are more calm, but because she has been cleaning in the temple for many years, her face looks haggard and delicate.
The correct way to open lipstick can be said to be the most indispensable one in women's cosmetics, because you can gently apply lipstick without makeup at all, which can make the whole person look good, but the ancient lipstick is not used like this, and "finger lips" is the correct way to open it.
"Round small mouth, light rouge", the ancients still used lipstick, because oral fat has strong adhesion and prefers cherry small mouth, so it is very convenient to order lips. The custom of touching lips was formed around the Han Dynasty and spread widely in Sui and Tang Dynasties. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu made up Pinger's makeup, especially referring to the use of oral fat.
The rouge used by the girls in Baoyu's room is all natural cosmetics made by themselves. Just pick a little hair clip and put it on the palm of your hand, then apply it to your lips to replenish water slightly. Baoyu's rouge is very good, which is also a way for him to take care of girls.
In fact, in addition to rouge, cinnabar, Arnebia euchroma, clove and fried nail can also be used to make oral fat of different colors, such as purple, vermilion and meat. According to the size of the smudged oral fat, it can still produce various changes. Among them, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace mentioned that Gan Long likes women to wear "tender fragrance", and the lip biting makeup in The Story of Yan Xi Palace is also "pink lips". In addition, there are semi-coke, tiger balm, powder core and so on.
Ears, not only exquisite earrings, but also intimacy is also the most easily overlooked part of ear makeup on the face when I was a child, because basically there is no need to draw, just wear earrings. It was very popular for ancient women to wear earrings. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, ancient women, big or small, had earrings.
In the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions, almost all the girls have earrings. Among them, Teacher Yang Shuyun specially designed a cyan ginkgo for Baochai, and "apricot" means "lucky". I hope Baochai will be lucky no matter what she experiences. In the book, when Baoyu once molested Jin Chuaner, he fiddled with her earrings. Also, Xiangyun once pretended to be Baoyu in Baoyu's clothes, looking like a girl with only two earrings exposed.
You Sanjie's earrings have also appeared with her beautiful and enchanting appearance; Square crown earrings are the most special. On Baoyu's birthday, I saw that her right ear was a jade plug the size of a grain of rice, with a large pendant the size of ginkgo, and asymmetrical earrings were also a fashion at that time.
In fact, in addition to the decorations of the ears, the most beautiful scene for the ears is the childhood when the ears are intimate. Baoyu and Daiyu have had a better relationship than others since childhood. They always seem to have endless words. When they are not with everyone, they just stand together and talk. Baoyu and Xiangyun are also the best partners. They also play around and play all day. Only the friends around them are the memories of their youth. Besides between men and women, the whispers between girls are also transmitted through the ears, so the intimate period is how naive and romantic our childhood is, and we can only recall it if we can't find it back.
