Makeup artists showcase cultural fusion and artistic brilliance at reality show
Zhejiang TV's reality competition show, The Great Ones, showcasing the talent and creativity of makeup artists, wrapped up its season on Sunday. The show featured 100 skilled artists engaging in themed makeup challenges that pushed the boundaries of their artistry.
In the eighth episode, the theme "Butterfly" was chosen, a word rich in cultural and poetic significance, inspiring contestants to draw from the butterfly's symbolism of romance, freedom, transformation, and vitality prevalent in Chinese classical poetry.
Contestants were paired up, each duo tasked with creating contrasting designs on a model's face, exploring the duality of the butterfly's symbolism. One contestant embraced a cyberpunk aesthetic, symbolizing technology's impact on the environment, while another delicately portrayed the fragility of nature through a translucent butterfly design.
