How to compose an opera?

1, cleaning care:

Before putting on makeup, you must clean your skin and take simple care to prevent oil paint from invading your skin and causing various skin problems, including coarse pores, chapped skin, oily acne, blackheads and so on. At the same time, you can make your makeup more docile and will not cause powder floating or makeup removal.

2. Background color:

The background color in traditional Chinese opera makeup needs to be blended with red, white and oil paints to be soft, and then it should be evenly patted on your skin. You must master the thickness of oil painting pigments. If it is too thin, it will show your skin color; if it is too thick, it will look like wearing a mask. At the same time, it is necessary to shoot the background color according to the stage lighting and the identity of the characters.

3, take blush:

When we make up, we habitually paint or brush red, but because Chinese opera makeup needs oil painting pigments, we need to pat blush on the skin and let it blend into the background oil painting pigments. It is best to use rose red as the color, and the blush on the upper eyelid is the reddest, so it must blend naturally at the connection position.

4, fixed makeup:

In the usual makeup, we all know that makeup should be fixed to prevent makeup from coming off. Similarly, opera makeup should also be fixed. When fixing makeup, apply it from inside to outside and from top to bottom, first apply the background color and then apply the blush. Finally, the floating powder on the face will be bounced off;

5. Apply rouge:

The methods of rouge and blush are basically the same, but the difference is that rouge can make facial makeup more vivid. Be sure to remember that the color of the upper eyelid is the deepest;

6. Draw the rim of the eye:

Compared with ordinary makeup, the eyes of opera makeup are exaggerated, but in the process of makeup, we must remember to make it according to the eye shape of the model and the height and thinness of the characters. If you overdo it, the effect of painting will be bad.

7. Eyebrows:

Eyebrows are also an important part of Chinese opera makeup. First of all, according to the characters, such as Hua Dan in Tsing Yi, it is Liu Yemei who needs to be transformed, and at the same time, it should be transformed according to the appearance of the characters, which will have a three-dimensional sense;

8. Lips:

First, we should outline the edge of the lips with red oil paint, and then transform them in the opposite direction according to the characters' lips. For example, if the lips are thin, they should be bulging, and if the mouth is big, it should be small.
