Inspiration from the Chinese Opera

A while back I created this look for a friend based on inspiration gathered from traditional Chinese opera makeup. Oh what joy!

Particularly fascinating and very rich in meaning. These creations reflect the identity, status, personality and appearance of the characters and therefore can intensify the artistic appeal on stage. A character with mostly red makeup or a red mask is brave and loyal. Black symbolizes boldness and impartiality. Yellow denotes ambition, while pink stands for sophistication and well-balanced.
