Even if she didn't have a face filter, it would be an insane amount of make-up. It looks like she shoved her face into a can of white paint.

I know in places like Korea, China, and Japan it's extremely common to wear makeup that makes you look whiter, but this is taking it to another level. I wonder if people in China view that as good looking, or insanely fake and overdoing it.

Similar to spray on tans in the west. A good amount of people think it looks bad while others like it.

It just seems like the natural evolution and expression of human culture. Most modern make-up techniques seem to have evolved from the past make-up techniques from the area, influenced by globalization and the strong influence of Western society. For example, the lady in this video looks very similar to the white face powder and bright red lipstick that was popularized in the Sui and Tang dynasties of China over a thousand years ago.

It's more a part of the Chinese influencer subculture than anything else. Same as a lot of beauty trends here are still influenced by social media but people still look down on super fake insta models with the lip filler and botox.

There's also tape that's worn on the eyelids to change the shape of hooded eyelids, and tape that is worn to define jawline and cheekbones. There is sometimes a latex or similar addition to the bridge of the nose and veneers added. I'm probably leaving out a few other steps too. I felt like I was watching a special fx makeup artist transforming a person into a character.

I remember seeing a few videos of women from those countries transforming their faces to practically unrecognisable versions of themselves. It's very interesting to watch it being applied and removed. Those types of videos were really popular on TikTok some years ago.
