The look

Pink embroidered Hanfu with wide sleeves and mandarin collar, paired with a circular hand-painted fan and multicolour ribbon cascade. The look is defined by the glass skin face — porcelain-finish base, precise cat-eye liner, and a pink-nude lip that echoes the Hanfu palette.

Client checklist

Cleanse and deeply moisturise skin the night before — glass skin cannot be rushed
Press hair firmly back into a low braid — no flyaways; the collar must be fully visible
Test the cat-eye liner shape on the back of your hand before applying to check the tip sharpness

📤 Dark mahogany wood colonnade with soft bokeh (as seen in image). The depth of field creates a rich, warm shadow backdrop that makes the pale pink Hanfu and the luminous glass skin "pop" forward. The soft architectural blur prevents background detail from competing with the embroidered costume.

Lighting

Position subject 1.5m from a large window (no direct sunlight), place white foam board camera-right to fill shadows on the right cheek — this is the setup that created this image

Role takeaways

Model

Hold the fan at mid-chest height and angle it 5–10° toward the camera — this creates the three-quarter perspective that filled the frame and kept the face in full view. Direct gaze into the lens from a slightly lowered chin angle.

Designer

The hand-painted phoenix fan is the hero prop — it echoes the embroidery on the sleeve and creates a visual triangle (fan → left sleeve detail → right sleeve detail) that structures the composition geometrically.

MUA

Glass skin must be set before the costume goes on — the collar fabric will transfer foundation if not fully set. Use setting spray 5 minutes before dressing. Bring a precision liner brush for on-set touch-ups inside the costume.

Stylist

The multicolour ribbon cascade (blue, red, green, gold) provides colour punctuation at the lower frame — steam all ribbons before shooting; wrinkled ribbons photograph as visual noise.
