Many people think that Liu Yifei's makeup in Mulan doesn't conform to modern people's aesthetics, which is very grandiose and a little unacceptable. Even Liu Yifei's makeup can't hold her face value, which has caused a wave of speculation on the Internet. Although he did not conform to the aesthetic values of modern people, it was really popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was normal for ancient people to have different aesthetics from now.
In Li Shangyin's Three Butterflies: "Princess Shouyang put on makeup when she got married, and the eyebrows in the eight-character palace held a yellow forehead." The eyebrows in the eight-character palace say that the forehead is painted yellow and there are beautiful flowers between the eyebrows. There are also Mulan's poems, Mulan's "yellow flowers in front of the mirror", which is the yellow makeup on her forehead. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, everyone believed in Buddhism and took Buddhist makeup as beauty.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, women paid great attention to makeup and fashion trends at that time. There are many makeup that modern people can't accept, but they were all "beautiful" at that time, such as half makeup and crying makeup, which is very strange, but it also reflects the aesthetics of an era and people's pursuit of beauty at that time. So I think Liu Yifei's makeup in Mulan should be appreciated across the ages. After all, everyone lives in different times and has different tastes and visions.
