Peking opera facial makeup contains colorful facial designs in traditional Chinese performances based on historical figures or distinguishable traits of a person. For example, in the Peking Opera version of “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” courageous and loyal Guan Yu often has a red face while hypocritical Cao Cao has a white one. Check out the video to see how Chinese actors prepare their performances before and after the Peking Opera facial makeup. #intangibleheritage #pekingopera #facialmake
