<p>As the clapperboard snaps and <strong>Chinese actresses</strong> internalize their roles, the makeup and styling team also gear up to make the cast as perfect as possible. This is done by curating the tiny details of their makeup to ensure our attention is captured in every scene—like a magnet that draws our attention to their already gorgeous faces. </p><p>However, outside the set, when cameras are turned off, and they are away from the public eye, natural beauty comes into play.

Zhang Ruonan&#x27;s downturned eyes, matched with luscious lashes, are captivating! It&#x27;s her standout feature that complements her plump cheeks well.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779091683843Zhang Ruonan.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Zhang Ruonan | Photo via @zhangruonannan</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Zhao Lusi</strong></div><p>Does she carry her own ring light wherever she goes? Just look at her radiant skin and natural flush. There is an undeniable magnetism in her visuals that compels admiration. She possesses a perfect blend of charisma and beauty, effortlessly drawing people in with her natural grace.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778837451017rooosyzh09.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @rooosyzh09</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Wang Churan</strong></div><p>Her profile reveals a striking symmetry that makes her undeniably attractive. Her beauty, unembellished by lashes or pink shades, still possesses that unique appeal, making her a perfect leading lady in her dramas.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778837795324Wang Churan.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @churan00</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Zhao Liying</strong></div><p>We know she is a woman who holds her own, especially when she isn&#x27;t afraid to take close-up pictures without a filter! Her secret weapon? Well-trimmed brows and eyes free of puffiness, making her look healthy inside and out. Liying looks like she doesn&#x27;t age! </p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778837975682SnapInsta.to_655190108_18091988180155155_2611560059858621592_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @zlyzhao</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Liu Yifei</strong></div><p>She wasn&#x27;t cast as one of the iconic Disney princesses for nothing. In her current and upcoming dramas, she continues to prove she has the beauty and talent! Here, Yifei charms with her glowing skin and cherry lips that look pigmented even without a layer of lipstick! We could, indeed, see the &quot;reflection&quot; of her beauty! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778838202883Yifei.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @yifei_cc</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ju Jingyi</strong></div><p>While Chinese beauty standards often favor soft and charming facial features, Jingyi provides a refreshing contrast with her sharp yet feminine allure. Her standout beauty seems straight out of a fictional university campus crush.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778838649303Weibo.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Weibo | @鞠婧祎 </span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Shen Yue </strong></div><p>In her dramas, Shen Yue always wears light makeup. We can always see her smooth complexion during close-up shots, and it&#x27;s absolutely flawless! Plus, no hairstyle is a problem for her, as her unfiltered beauty can elevate any hairstyle she sports.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778839179043shenyueyeah.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @shenyueyeah</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Li Qin </strong></div><p>We love Li Qin from any angle. The fact that she isn’t afraid to make goofy facial expressions proves her face has no bad angles in photos. Her soft double eyelids and Bambi eyes are the focal point of her beauty.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778839354386liqin_qqin.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @liqin_qqin</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Bai Lu</strong></div><p><strong></strong>Known for pushing boundaries and serving up diverse beauty statements, Bai Lu also rewrites the rules of standard glam by looking flawlessly gorgeous bare-faced. Her natural allure is undeniable, anchored by the perfect symmetry of her features: striking eyes, beautifully shaped lips, and a sculpted nose that make her effortlessly captivating.</p><div><br/><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778839606625bailu_923.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @bailu_923</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Yang Mi</strong></div><p>The superstar actress seems to never have a day off with her busy schedule—but when she does, she still looks every bit the A-lister with milky, porcelain skin. In this photo, you can see her sans eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, false eyelashes, and foundation—only a complexion that&#x27;s total #goals!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779176374800Yang Mi.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @yangmimimi912</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Yang Zi</strong></div><p>When we travel, we like to be without makeup, especially on long-haul flights. The air on a plane is very dry, and can cause oiliness and, later on, breakouts. C-drama star Yang Zi knows this and chooses to go <em>au naturel</em> for vacations abroad, as seen in this photo. We love to see her all made up, but we do think she has a special charm without it! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779176757363Yang Zi.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @yangzi_aoao</span></span></span></div>
