Ling Guan - Red Fairy Face

Fairy Face

This makeup, derived from the full face and three-tile face, represents Buddhas and deities. Its composition is patterned on Buddhist images. Gold and silver, the principal colors, symbolizes holiness and dignity. Alternatively, gold and silver lines or patches may be added to the background color. Apart from these distinguishing features, any unusual mark of trait supposedly possessed by a supernatural being is generally revealed in his stage makeup.

Ling Guan with a Red Fairy Face plays a supernatural being in the opera "Sizhou City."
