The tradition of red makeup can be traced back to the earliest days of civilization, where cheeks were painted with cinnabar and other substances in a rather rough manner, which later gradually became more delicate. In the Qin Dynasty, palace ladies wore red makeup and green eyebrows, a beautiful style for the ladies of the court. In “The Song of Ming Jun” by Emperor Wu of Liang during the Southern Dynasties, it is written: “Who can bear to look into the mirror, holding it to reflect the red makeup.” This refers to Wang Zhaojun wearing red makeup. Since then, red makeup has almost become synonymous with young women in poetry. In a poem by Prince Xianwen of the Liang Dynasty praising a beauty's makeup, it says: “Shy and reluctant to come out, she still says her makeup is incomplete. Green eyebrows broaden, rouge spreads across her face.” In “Watching Lanterns” by Zhang Xiao Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, he wrote: “In ten thousand households, the light of candles shines; every door opens to reveal red makeup.” Young ladies would not forget to apply red makeup even when watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival. In “Parting Thoughts” by Yuan Zhen, it says: “In a moment, sunlight shines upon rouged cheeks, making them appear as if the red rouge is about to melt like rosy fat.” The rouge makeup is described as soft and beautiful.

Mentioning the makeup characteristics of Han Dynasty women, one cannot help but talk about “red makeup.” The term “red makeup” first appeared during the Han Dynasty. However, this type of makeup had another name at that time, known as “lazy makeup.” This meant that when applied, it gave an appearance of laziness. Despite being called “lazy,” the application was not lazy at all. Such red makeup required the use of powder and rouge, making the “lazy makeup” technique quite meticulous. Do not be misled by its name!
The ideal feeling for wedding photos varies among people.

Different people have different preferences. Whether it's the grand red wedding attire or fairy tales, both can present a beautiful appearance. Learning more about ancient costume wedding photo introductions, choosing your favorite theme and shooting style, can make you look stunningly beautiful.
Wearing Hanfu and posting on social media requires exquisite and beautiful captions. Amidst blooming peach blossoms, all dyed in red makeup, clear tears burn with a sense of sorrow. Already married, unspoken heartbreak, cutting off past ties. Wearing the phoenix coronet and red veil, under brocade quilts, smiling reflects deep affection. Posting photos of oneself in Hanfu on social media helps find someone you truly love, and together, enjoy the beauty of Hanfu. Hanfu has never disappeared and is not limited to ancient styles, so it cannot be defined simply as historical costumes. Although…
The last person to mention is the cool guy Wang Yibo. Before, we only knew him as a high-cold boy, but after the airing of “The Untamed” this year, we discovered that his ancient costume appearance is unexpectedly ethereal. In the drama, his portrayal of “Lan Wangji” perfectly embodies the term “airy.” When seen in black Hanfu, he becomes even more mesmerizing, making one want to propose with grand red wedding attire!
Regarding actresses' hairstyles and makeup, everyone is tired of seeing the same half-updo hairstyle and the identical internet celebrity makeup. Different actresses and different dramas, yet the hairstyles seem similar, and the costumes also have a uniform feel, which is mostly due to rushed production without paying attention to costumes, makeup, and props. Many people say that in recent years, the rise of Hanfu culture is evident. Although Hanfu looks complicated, it is very delicate and well-crafted. Why are these beautifully crafted Hanfu rarely seen in ancient costume dramas?
Recently, the historical costume drama “The Legend of Ban Shu,” starring Jing Tian, Zhang Zhehan, Fu Xinbo, Li Jiahang, Deng Sha, Li Xin'ai, Li Sheng, Zhang Xinyu, Tian Niu, Guan Xiaotong, Jiang Yiyi, Mi Re, Zhang Meng, Gao Yunxiang, and others, held a press conference for its premiere in Beijing. It is officially scheduled to air on CCTV-8's prime time starting February 8th, broadcasting four episodes every night starting at 9:30 PM. “The Legend of Ban Shu” not only boasts a stellar cast but also pays attention to historical accuracy in its production, presenting a grand drama scene. Today, the drama released a series of fresh and lovely promotional stills, showcasing the heavenly palace-like set design, traditional “pink-red makeup,” and splendid Hanfu costumes.
