Next year can be said to be a lively year for film and television dramas with the Tang Dynasty as the background, after the strong Qing court dramas in the past few years, a large number of Tang Dynasty dramas that respect history and restore social features have appeared in recent years.
During the Tang Dynasty, China's economy and society were on the rise, with a prosperous economy, open-mindedness, and gorgeous costumes. It was the best era, generous but not flashy, majestic but not decorated, like an ambitious teenager, high-spirited, and the prospect was brilliant.
The gorgeous, glamorous, and even bold and wanton makeup of women in the Tang Dynasty is the best portrayal of that confident era.
Nowadays, the TV series that several popular Xiaohua are filming are basically set in the Tang Dynasty, let's take a look at them one by one.
The first is Yang Zi's filming drama "National Beauty".
At the beginning of the filming, the drama "National Beauty" received considerable attention because of Yang Zi's own traffic, and Yang Zi's "explosive drama metaphysics" also made netizens look forward to this drama.
After Yang Zi and Li Xian joined the group in January 2024, because of the crew's strict anti-proxy shooting measures, few photographers can shoot the real makeup of the male and female protagonists in this drama.
Although the crew's protection measures are very strict, Yang Zi's new drama Reuters is still issued on the Internet today. From this picture, it can be seen that Yang Zi's Tang Dynasty makeup is almost in accordance with the style of the hair combed in the "Tang Dynasty Lady Picture".
A strand of hair was put aside, and the hair was filled with small accessories from the Tang Dynasty: a comb-like shape and a small flower, and the gorgeous Tang costume looked very textured.
If it is presented according to this makeup, maybe next year's Yang Zi's makeup will not be inferior to Liu Yifei in "Menghualu".
Yang Zi's makeup with Li Xian walking side by side in this drama is also very compatible.
Li Xian, who has been ridiculed by the group before, has also been ashamed with the exposure of Reuters in this drama. Li Xian, who was wearing an official uniform in the Tang Dynasty and an official hat, had thin and three-dimensional facial features, a tall figure, and a very modest gentleman.
And the duo of Li Xian and Yang Zi also made netizens full of expectations for this drama. Comparing the looks of Yang Zi and Li Xian's CPs in the two dramas, there is a great sense of past and present lives.

Tian Xiwei did not lose to Song Yi
The drama "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", which was once popular, was deeply liked by the audience because of the excellent costumes in the play. Song Yi's makeup as the second female lead in this drama also made the audience's eyes shine.
It can be said that in this drama, from the female number one played by Song Qian to the female number two played by Song Yi, to the assassin supporting actress played by Zhang Li, and then to the hair buns of the maids, everything is very attentive and exquisite.
Different identities correspond to different hair buns and clothing, and the excellent costumes are carried out to the end.
The new 95 Huatian Xiwei, who is now filming, is also very amazing in "Midnight Return". Judging from the pictures from Reuters, Tian Xiwei's makeup in this drama is bright and moving.
Different from Yang Zi's makeup in Reuters, which turned her hair bun to one side, Tian Xiwei's hair bun was combed back of her head, and her temples were full of decorative flowers.
The bun is made into a curved flower shape to decorate the back of the head, which looks very gorgeous, because Wu Zhen played by Tian Xiwei is a noble girl in the play, and this gorgeous headdress makeup is very in line with her positioning.
In terms of appearance and clothing alone, Tian Xiwei's appearance is also very strong, and she looks very eye-catching.

Tan Songyun's makeup is kind and gentle, and the audience is very popular
Tan Songyun's TV series "Shu Jin Family" is also positioned as a film and television drama set in the Tang Dynasty, which tells the story of the crisis caused by Shu brocade weaving.
Tan Songyun plays the heroine of Shu brocade weaving and silk dyeing with extraordinary talent in the play.
It can be seen from Tan Songyun's makeup drawings that Tan Songyun's hair bun is mostly combed into a single bun and placed on the top of her head, which is closer to the makeup presented by Song Yi in "The Wind Rises in Luoyang".
Whether it's makeup under the peach blossom tree in early spring, or wearing a big hat on a snowy day, there is a sense of intimacy.
Tan Songyun's beauty is not the kind of beauty with strong impact and attack power, but there is a very strong softness like a long stream of water.
Just as Lao Tzu said the classic line "light but not dazzling, still water flows deeply", you see that the water in the river is always flowing in the low place, humble and low-key, but nourishing all things. It is not arrogant, nor too dazzling, but it can be used by all things.
But when encountering obstacles, they will maintain a calm mind, find ways to "bypass" or "cross" the past, and do not flinch or be aggressive.
It seems to flow quietly, but it has never resisted change, when it encounters the scorching sun, it temporarily turns into steam, when it encounters clouds, it turns into rain, and when it is cold, it first turns into ice, waiting for the arrival of spring. Perseverance has been going, but going further.
Tan Songyun's works and makeup give people the feeling of being like a deep stream of still water, which makes people feel peaceful and quiet.

After watching these works created in the Tang Dynasty at the same time, Yang Zi and Tan Songyun's two dramas are biased towards business and career, while Tian Xiwei's Tang Dynasty drama is biased towards power and love.
Although they are all Tang Dynasty dramas, the focus and direction are completely different.
Each leading actor also has their own characteristics, and next year's costume Tang Dynasty drama is worth looking forward to.
Which one are you most looking forward to?
