The "squinting eyes" that are frequently brushed on hot searches have occupied the topic of major platforms. The promotional image of a domestic snack brand and the promotional video of a car brand have fallen into public opinion controversy because they deliberately created a "high-grade" makeup with slender eyes for the model.
Aesthetics should have been a very personal thing, some people think that the big eyes are beautiful, of course, there will be people who like the agility of the small eyes, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, but in the problem of "squinting eyes" is not so simple.
Everyone can think about it: since when did the fashion aura have to rely on squinting eyes and world-weary faces to hold up, while the natural, generous Oriental high-end has no sense of existence?
People who resist squinting are not pointing fingers at small eye groups, but are rebelling against a demonization of the image of the East. In fact, the oriental high-end is more durable than the squinting, and Liu Shishi in the contemporary female star is one of the representatives. In this issue, we will talk about the definition of high sense. "Squinting" is a senior face? The concept should be changed, the Eastern way is not as high as looking at Liu Shishi, let's take a look at it.~
Do you think beauty is subjective or objective? Before answering this question, we may wish to go back to the changes in mainstream aesthetic trends in history.
The word Huanfei Yan slender tells us that in the Tang Dynasty, when the folk customs were open, people generally admired plump beauty, and in the Song Dynasty, the delicate and slender figure was more sought after.
This phenomenon, of course, is not the inherent difference in the perception ability of the people of the two dynasties, but by the influence of the aesthetic preferences of the emperors of this dynasty, and there are more components of imitation, so the richness of the Tang Dynasty is luxurious, and the slenderness of the Song Dynasty is popular.
This is also how the "high-level feeling" that "squinting" once brought to people came from. We didn't think squinting was advanced at first, but after the frequent use of this type of styling on the major couture shows, we naturally had similar associations.
Back to the opening two controversial brand images. Do brands or models really think that such exaggerated small eyes will be more beautiful than normal looks? Look at their makeup changes, obviously this is not the case.
At first, the model's shape and appearance were soft and beautiful, but the shape of this overturned car looked very strange.
The root cause of the prevalence of squinting is the Western world's long-standing prejudice against Asian faces. Westerners are more eager to pick out the Asian looks they imagine, so the facial features of slender eyes and hanging eyebrows will be more popular on the Western fashion runway.
In the long run, those with high cheekbones and squinty eyes have more so-called "international standards", even if they do not have these facial features, they must be emphasized by makeup.
Both the examiner and the scrutinized adhere to this aesthetic standard, and the two complement each other, allowing the binding between the squinting aesthetic and the high-level to continue to deepen.
Resisting the aesthetic tendency of "squinting" is by no means an attack on the looks of a specific group of people, but a rebellion against western aesthetic oppression. Stars with small eyes and thick lips are not absent, but they don't need to create a sense of luxury by ugly themselves.
Without those demonized styling methods, how to create a sense of luxury? To answer this question, it is necessary to return to the meaning of the sense of superiority itself.
The so-called advanced must come from comparison. If you think about it, the normal high-grade aura is not framed by any specific style, and its essence is actually the confidence of actively pulling away from the general public.
The indifferent eyes and stretched posture on the runway are the embodiment of this sense of distance.
Oriental charm has its own subtle beauty, so the oriental style of high-level has also produced some changes, which can be roughly summarized into two points.
Less aggressive sense of distance
There are also beauties with different styles in the Oriental tradition, but no matter which type, the core beauty is a state of "convergence". The sense of oriental high-end cannot rely on the aggressiveness of the spikes of the "world-weary face", even if it is a cool beauty, it can only be a gentle boudoir that can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed. This is also the reason why I think Liu Shishi is more in line with the oriental high-level.
When it comes to the sense of luxury, in fact, there are many female stars who meet this kind of temperament, like Ni Ni is also a cool and excellent type.
But Liu Shishi's eyebrows are lighter and softer, which also makes her more subtle and humble temperament, and does not need a cold face to give people a sense of beauty and elegance, which fully reflects the essence of the oriental sense of luxury.
Stretch brought by the blank space
There is also a principle that is very important in oriental aesthetics: blank space. In landscape painting, the uniform blank space is by no means a waste, but to allow the viewer to focus on the real focus of the picture.
For the face, the appropriate blank space will allow people to notice the contours of the face, but also be able to distract themselves, to deliberate on the details of the facial features and dynamic expressions, and even to dig out a unique story from the subtle changes in appearance.
Therefore, this feature of facial white space will make people more attractive.
Liu Shishi is also very flattering at the key point of facial blankness. Although her facial features are small, each part is very delicate, so it can withstand a closer look, and it looks more charming in the costume style.
When laughing, the whole person is more stretched, and this subtle and relaxed aura is the ultimate state of the oriental sense of superiority.
The Oriental high-end does not have to rely on classical clothing to highlight, even the modern fashion style of the shape, Liu Shishi is completely able to control, and looks more charming than the pure Western face.
The beauty of the Orient is not won by relying on hard lines and facial features, and smart people will not take their own shortcomings to touch the strengths of others, but find a route suitable for themselves and exert their advantages to the extreme.
The oriental aesthetics with subtlety as the core still perform brightly in terms of attractiveness and aura, and if you want to create a sense of luxury, why should you turn your gaze elsewhere?
Well, this issue's sharing of squinting and oriental advanced is here first, what kind of sense of superiority is in your heart? Feel free to share your fashion insights in the comments section, and we'll see you in the next issue
