Chinese Americans and Chinese have the same roots, and it has only been a few generations since Chinese people moved out, but today's Chinese people look less and less like Chinese!
Take out two photos of Chinese and Chinese, I believe most people can tell the difference at a glance.
Maybe the difference between the men is not too big, but the contrast between the women can be said to be very stark!
For example, in the following two photos, it is obvious that the one above is a Chinese girl, and the one below is a domestic girl.
Another example is this group photo, where all the women in the picture look Chinese (or Asian).
Because women in our country rarely wear such heavy makeup in European and American styles, and they will not open their mouths and laugh exaggeratedly with their teeth bared like this!
Therefore, the older Chinese go, the less they look like Chinese, the most fundamental reason is that the makeup has changed!
For women, if makeup and no makeup are different, the appearance and temperament of the whole person will change greatly!
Asians' faces are generally flat, and the eyebrows are relatively shallow, like the thick and deep eyeliner often painted by European and American women, which is not suitable for Chinese people at all.
It was originally a pair of charming and moving big eyes, but after painting "European and American makeup", it turned into "squinting eyes"!
There are also Asian skin tones that are mostly "light yellow skin", and under normal circumstances, they should choose a whiter foundation to modify their skin tone, but many Asians only know how to blindly imitate white people, and most of them choose tan foundation.
This is also the reason why many Chinese people look darker, and the darker the skin, the older it looks!
It turns out that the unsuitable makeup is a disaster for the appearance of Chinese women!
Take the Chinese-American mixed-race athlete Gu Ailing as an example, this is what she looked like when she was a child.
To be honest, when she was a child, she didn't see much difference from Chinese girls of the same age, mainly because she didn't wear makeup when she was a child.
And Gu Ailing began to wear makeup when she grew up, and her appearance and temperament have changed somewhat.
When I was in China, it was actually okay, because the makeup artists were all Chinese, and the makeup she painted looked quite natural and generous. This photo looks very sweet when she laughs, like a big girl next door.
But when Gu Ailing attended an event abroad, her painting style became like this.
Foreign makeup artists really don't know how to put makeup on Asians!
Look at the eyebrows are too high, the eye circles are also dark, and I feel a lot more mature all of a sudden, not at all like a twenty-year-old girl.
From this point of view, European and American makeup on the faces of Asians does have a sense of "time urging people to grow old".
And Gu Ailing is quite good, after all, she is mixed-race, and her facial features and bones are relatively close to those of white people, so she can barely hold European and American makeup.
However, due to the flatter face, if you force European and American makeup, then the following effect will be presented.
One thing to say, the girl in this picture has good facial features and face shape, and her eyes are not small.
But it was ruined by this makeup, it looked nondescript, and he could have put on a beauty makeup that suited him, but he wanted to apply European and American makeup.
This is the so-called "playing up the shortcomings and avoiding the strong points"! It's really incomprehensible!
I don't know if this is a deliberate pandering to Asians, in short, such makeup and styling may be pleasing in the United States, but in my opinion, it can be said that there is no beauty, completely hiding their strengths and exposing their disadvantages!
Of course, it may also be the Asian aesthetic deliberately guided by Westerners, and you can refer to what Liu Yifei looked like when she was filming in the United States!
It's really powerless to complain! Liu Yifei is so good-looking, but she is known as a "fairy", but she is made up like this, is this recruiting who to provoke?
In addition to makeup, frequent exaggerated expressions can also lead to changes in appearance.
From the Chinese American, we can see that a person's appearance characteristics are too much affected by the environment!
The second and third generations of Chinese Americans have grown up in the American environment since childhood, and most of the people and things they come into contact with are American standards, and even their tone and expression when they speak are very "American"!
How do typical Americans speak?
Many people may have never been exposed to Americans at all, but they have always watched Hollywood blockbusters or American dramas.
Americans are characterized by a lot of facial expressions, like to squeeze their eyebrows, shrug their shoulders, and wave their hands.
There are also Americans who laugh with their mouths wide open, and the two rows of front teeth are exposed, in short, it is very exaggerated, and it looks like a fake smile.
Americans are very different from Chinese, whether they talk or laugh.
We used to be good at smiling without showing our teeth, and although we are not so particular about it now, we are not like Americans who grin and smirk all the time.
And many Chinese Americans talk and laugh like that, and over time, the facial muscle groups will change, and the facial expressions will look different.
In short, the changes in the appearance and characteristics of the descendants of Chinese Americans are actively integrated into the local society on the surface, but from a deep level, in fact, they will abandon their most beautiful side in order to cater to the mainstream!
