Disney's Mulan and Liu Yifei were arranged to go on a blind date by their family. Her makeup and clothing were carefully selected. They were very similar to Tang makeup, but not Tang makeup. Mulan is a character from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Disney Liu Yifei's makeup greatly restores the makeup of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The forehead is painted yellow, the cheeks are red, the eyebrows are thick, and there are flowers between the eyebrows. Although this kind of makeup seems to be very inconsistent with the aesthetics of the modern public, it was a very popular makeup in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The restoration is very historical and in line with the times. Therefore, Liu Yifei’s makeup in Mulan is not Tang Dynasty makeup, but makeup from the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.
Many people think that Liu Yifei’s makeup in Mulan is not in line with modern people’s aesthetics. It is very exaggerated and a bit difficult to accept. Even the beauty of the fairy sister Liu Yifei cannot be held up by makeup on the Internet. There was a wave of craze. Although it did not conform to the aesthetic values ????of modern people, it was indeed a very popular makeup in the Southern and Northern Dynasties that echoed the trend of the times. After all, it is normal for the aesthetics of ancient people to be different from today. In Li Shangyin's "Three Poems on Butterflies": "When Princess Shouyang gets married, her eyebrows are painted yellow and her forehead is yellow." "Gongmei's eyebrows and forehead are yellow" means that the forehead is painted yellow and there are beautiful flowers between the eyebrows. There is also the poem Mulan, Mulan "puts yellow flowers on the mirror", which is the yellow makeup on her forehead. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, everyone believed in Buddhism and regarded Buddhist makeup as beauty. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, women paid great attention to makeup and the popular trends at that time. There were many kinds of makeup that modern people could not accept, but they were very "beautiful" at the time, such as half-face makeup and crotch makeup, which were all very weird. But it also reflects the aesthetics of an era and the pursuit of beauty by people of that era. Therefore, I think Liu Yifei’s makeup in Mulan should be appreciated across generations. After all, everyone lives in different eras and has different tastes and visions.
