Beijing Opera(2)

Chinese facial make-up is a unique part of Chinese opera. Chinese opera is based on these four character types:
sheng 生:a male role, such as a young man, an elderly man, or a warrior.
dan 旦:a female role, such as a young lady, a beautiful lady, a lady warrior, or an elderly woman.


The make up for sheng and dan roles should highlight the eyes and eyebrows and the application of rouge. This type of make up is known as the sumian 素面(plain face).
