That's what makes up effectively! No matter how ornate the headdress is, the first thing you see is the actor's face
In the past few years, the costume drama style was criticized for being too bland, and a hairpin was added to the head of a waterball, even if it appeared on some solemn occasions, it was just a slightly larger crown.
But soon, the costume drama style seems to have begun to go to the other extreme, and the actors' heads are full of "heavyweight" hair accessories, dazzling from afar, and they are called "illegal buildings" by the audience.
And these heavy decorations completely suppressed the charm of the actors, and the limelight of the beautiful faces was all stolen by the styling.
On the contrary, some relatively simple shapes can reveal the beauty of the actors.
The audience can't help but miss the effective makeup in costume dramas, and the modeling of costume dramas at that time also had a great sense of volume, but it will not steal the charm of the actors themselves at all.
Even the audience has always had a feeling that these hairstyles are good-looking because the actors are good-looking.
Wang Churan plays Zhang Guifei in "Qingping Le", and the character is a person who loves luxury, so she has many very gorgeous and good-looking hair crowns, which are very dazzling at a glance.
But no matter how gorgeous the shape is, everyone will still unconsciously focus on her very classical and beautiful face, and because of this role, the audience has always had a filter for her.
Deng Jie played Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions", which is a luxurious noble lady in itself, but if you look closely at Wang Xifeng's hair accessories, she is much taller and more gorgeous than everyone in the play.
This is due to Deng Jie's own short stature, in order to make her appear taller than others, the stylist will give her a high bun when styling, but the bare one is definitely not good-looking, and some hair accessories must be added.
However, no matter how eye-catching the shape is, it can't hide the demeanor on Wang Xifeng's face, and the audience also listened to the stylist Yang Shuyun and found that Deng Jie's hair crown was taller than others.
Compared with Deng Jie's version of Wang Xifeng and Liu Xiaoqing's Wang Xifeng, the latter is much more gorgeous, but it is not as good-looking as the former.
Liu Xiaoqing played Wu Zetian in "Wu Zetian", from a girl to middle-aged and then to old age, his style is becoming more and more gorgeous, which completely matches his identity.
The modeling here is also made by Yang Shuyun, whether it is a simple shape or a gorgeous shape in the later stage, some of them look very solemn, but the first thing the audience sees is the actor's face.
And the styling of the entire "Wu Zetian" crew inherits this advantage, no matter how gorgeous the shape is, it will not suppress the beauty of the actor himself, and the styling is just used to add icing on the cake.
Zhu Lin played the role of the king of the daughter country in "Journey to the West", and her makeup was in the style of opera, and because she was the queen, she was very gorgeous.
But it's still the same situation, her headdress is big and shiny, and her hair is in a towering bun, but the first thing the audience notices is her beautiful face.
The Halloween princess in the play, when she was a child, she paid attention to her beautiful face, and when she grew up, she found that her hair accessories were very delicate, full of some sea creatures.
The looks in the Hong Kong drama "The Princess Marrying" are very gorgeous and luxurious, but the first thing everyone sees is the actor's face, but they often ignore the character's shape.
In addition, there were many heavy makeup in film and television dramas in the early years, but they would not take away any of the actor's style, as if they were integrated, this is really effective makeup.
Not to mention some strange shapes, all of which are supported by the actor's face.
Regarding this kind of scene, some viewers think that the current actors are not as good-looking as in the past, but in fact, it is not necessarily, the actors in the early years were very beautiful, and the current actors are also very good-looking.
Perhaps because of the current pursuit of white and thin aesthetics, the melon seed face and narrow shoulders and excessively thin body are incompatible with the thick and large hairstyle.
blindly restores the makeup of early costume film and television dramas, but never thinks about the differences in aesthetics and actors of the times.
In fact, many actors are now on the juvenile side, and their overly dignified and atmospheric styles are not suitable, which is indeed a very serious problem.
At the same time, there are also reasons why the stylist does not have enough run-in with the actors and characters, for example, Yang Shuyun increased her hairstyle in order to make Deng Jie appear taller, not just for Wang Xifeng, everything is to make the image of Deng Jie and Wang Xifeng more perfect.
Not anymore for stylists.
For example, many of the shapes we see called "illegal buildings" are dazzling at first glance, and some even look good alone, but they are not suitable for actors, which seems nondescript.
Therefore, effective makeup is not only for the role of the service, but also for the actor, if the style completely suppresses the charm of the actor itself, this is a failed film and television image.
It can be seen that there is still a long way to go in costume drama modeling.
That's all I have to say.
