Sexy Chinese dress: Qi pao (Cheongsam)

How should the hair look with a qi pao? Up, down, half-up? In a chignon? Add a hairpiece? Maybe a flower barrette? Perm? Pin-curls? There seems to be a million ways to wear your hair when wearing a qi pao.

Star Style: Yiyan Jiang (江一燕)

A popular Chinese actress, Yiyan Jiang (江一燕) has a refreshing style all her own. I adore her new short bob, and the subtle/sexy makeup in the close-up pics!


To get the eye look, I'd try using these colors. I picked Lunasol, since their colors are all very subtle and lightly shimmery. Lunasol is a pricey line from the Japanese brand Kanebo, if any of you can find a cheaper alternative, post it in the comments.




She looks beautiful even without any help, see the last pic(#9).

Makeup Looks: 范冰冰, 何超仪, 刘雯

The design for 何超仪(Josie Ho) is a little Imelda Marcos to me, but
striking nonetheless. It was supposed to be inspired by Maria Callas'
signature style.
