In fact, Hanfu makeup and hairstyle are closely related to Hanfu culture and style. The common details mainly include base makeup, eyebrow makeup, eye makeup, blush and lip makeup.

Ancient women’s makeup
The custom of making up on the face had been formed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was particularly popular during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. Ancient women were very particular about makeup. The common steps are as follows: first, apply face powder; second, apply rouge; third, draw eyebrows; fourth, stick Huadian (flower 钿); fifth, dot Mianye (面靥); sixth, draw Xiehong (斜红); seventh, apply lip balm. The materials used include face powder, rouge, Shidai (石黛) and so on. Typical facial makeups include: Taohua makeup (peach blossom makeup), Jiuyun makeup, Feixia makeup, Tanyun makeup, Sui makeup, Bo makeup, Xiaoxia makeup, Yuye and so on. In fact, whether it is ancient or modern makeup, the most important thing is to keep each step of the makeup clean.
Base makeup
The success of facial makeup is largely determined by the base makeup. When applying base makeup, you need to be fully prepared. In terms of choosing base makeup products, you should choose according to whether you have oily skin or dry skin. The color should be close to your skin tone.
Eye makeup
Whether it is light makeup or heavy makeup, you can’t just scribble on your face when doing eye makeup. You should pay attention to the cleanliness of the makeup. The colors should be layered and properly distributed. For example: first use some light red to prime the eyelid, then use a slightly darker red to intensify the eye socket, and finally use a darker red to outline the shape at the inner corner, outer corner of the eye and lower eyelid.
Eyebrow makeup
Eyebrow makeup is the soul of Hanfu makeup, which directly affects the style and temperament of the entire makeup. There is no fixed eyebrow makeup to match Hanfu. It needs to be considered comprehensively according to personal actual conditions, such as the size of the eyes and face shape. Thick eyebrows are suitable for people with big eyes, while thin eyebrows are suitable for people with small eyes; flat eyebrows are suitable for long faces, and curved eyebrows are suitable for short faces; long eyebrows are suitable for those with wide jaws, and short eyebrows are suitable for those with narrow jaws. This makes the whole makeup more coordinated.
Blush
In terms of color selection for blush, try to make the skin look white with a tinge of red, smooth and delicate. The connection between the blush and the skin should look natural. It should be different from the color of the eye shadow to avoid increasing the sense of shadow on the eyes.
Lip makeup
The color can be mainly light. When applying makeup, you should it little by little. The color of the mouth should gradually fade from the inside to the outside. The upper lip should be thin and the lower lip should be thick.
Of course, Hanfu makeup originally requires great delicacy. If you want to look better in Hanfu, you must put more effort into makeup and not apply makeup casually, otherwise it is easy to create an unharmonious makeup. Girls can add some elements such as Huadian and Xiehong after finishing their makeup, which will make them look more beautiful.
