What's the difference between Chinese Peking Opera makeup and Japanese Peking Opera makeup?

1. Both Peking Opera and Kabuki have to perform their roles with unique and complicated makeup. Among them, facial makeup of Peking Opera actors is called facial makeup, which is an important part of China traditional opera character modeling. It is a kind of freehand brushwork and exaggerated art, which combines exaggerated nasal fossa and oral fossa to depict facial expressions. In Beijing opera, each character has its own fixed spectrum and color to highlight the characteristics of the characters.

2. Kabuki's makeup is a bit simple. Its distinctive feature is that the actor paints his face, neck and hands white with a small brush when making up, and then makes some subtle embellishments on his face. Their cosmetic effects, like the performing arts of actors, are indispensable living arts that appear on the stage with actors.
