Makeup This is makeup for a girl at age 15- 20. I like the cat-eyed eyelashes and the pea ch-red blusher. I think it is very clever to make that contrast of red and white by the base makeup. The glossy red lips also give me an impression that she is a pretty girl, and pretty happy because these colors used are mainly bright-warm colors.

Accessory This is a fancy hat embroidered wit h pearls, silver, and other jewels. It makes you focus to upper part of body, so the actor stands up out of others.

Make up Colors act would not show up and be Red- brave, faithful and wise “buried” men, with utter devotion by the fancy costumes they where.

My Final Design This is my ﬁnal design for drama, I chose watery sleeves and rose patterns to show that my character is a girl. I chose red/yellow/white which is the symbol for china. The reason I chose such colors is because I wanted to create a young 15-20 year old girl who has a lovely character. So I made round-fur ball that will show that.
