It can only be said that a person's appearance is indeed affected by the environment!
In reality, many Chinese can distinguish between Chinese and Chinese-Americans at a glance, especially Chinese women. In fact, Chinese men can do it as long as they don't laugh.
For example, in the figure below, I believe that 99% of people can tell in one second.
What is the difference between Chinese and Chinese-Americans?
The girl above looks like she was born and raised in China. She has bright eyes, white teeth, clear eyes, and natural and simple makeup.
The appearance and temperament of the following person are very typical Chinese-Americans. The face is painted with very unnatural "European and American makeup", and the smile is extremely exaggerated, showing two rows of teeth. Hardly anyone in China would laugh so exaggeratedly. Moreover, her expression management is also terrible.
So the fundamental reasons why Chinese Americans look different from us are:
First of all, the "European and American makeup" I wore didn't suit me. It looks heavy and unnatural.
Second, the facial expressions are exaggerated and distorted, deliberately mimicking the facial expressions of white people. Whenever they smile, their mouths must be wide open, revealing two rows of teeth.
Making exaggerated expressions and long-term heavy makeup unconsciously changes the facial muscles of Chinese people in the United States, so that no matter what they say, do or express their expressions, they are obviously different from Chinese!
According to the aesthetic standards of most Chinese, the current appearance of Chinese Americans is not very pleasing.
East Asia has its own set of aesthetics, which are completely different from those of Westerners.
Especially for women's aesthetics, the gap between Chinese and American Chinese can be said to be very large!
First of all, there is a big difference between a woman's makeup and hairstyle!
Generally speaking, the eye makeup of Chinese American women is very exaggerated!
They all imitated white people, painted their eye sockets very black, painted their eyebrows thickly, and wore very bright lipstick.
To be honest, this kind of makeup is very suitable for white women with three-dimensional facial features and small faces, but painting on the faces of Asian women is tantamount to a "disaster".
And Chinese girls don't wear the same makeup as Asian-American girls, because East Asians' faces are inherently flatter, and imitating white women's makeup is counterproductive, causing them to imitate others.
The more many Asian women wear makeup, the more awkward they look. They originally had big watery eyes, but they ended up being "squinting eyes".
Look at how Chinese girls apply eye makeup: they will wear large eye makeup to hide the shortcomings of their eyes, and they will also draw their eyebrows very thin to make themselves look more refined and elegant. At the same time, they generally don't use lipsticks that are too bright. Color: What we are pursuing is the atmosphere of "light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable"!
In addition, there is a big difference in the choice of foundation. Asian women in the U.S. are also blindly following white trends, mostly using sun-kissed or dark yellow foundations. That's why a lot of Chinese women look darker and look a lot older overall.
China's traditional aesthetic emphasizes white as beauty, and domestic women choose foundation to make themselves appear whiter.
Truth be told, white skin makeup is more suitable for most ordinary women.
As for the reason why Asian women choose dark yellow foundation to look old, I think the main reason is that it is influenced by the "tanning**" of white Americans.
White Americans pursue wheat**, especially the elite. They will even make time to go to the beach to bask in the sun, just to make themselves look darker.
In order to cater to the white "tanning" aesthetic, Chinese women and other Asian women deliberately choose darker foundations, just to have a wheat-colored **!
At the same time, Asian-Americans are also very bad at managing facial expressions! When they laugh, it looks really awkward.
We Chinese used to be very particular about smiling without showing teeth, and now we no longer have these restrictions, but overall our smiles are still very natural. When Asian-Americans smile, they grin as best they can, deliberately showing two rows of white teeth. Truth be told, this exaggerated smile looks like a smirk.
In terms of hairstyle, there is not much difference between men, but the difference is still reflected in women. Asian-American women either perm curly hair or have high ponytails, and few other hairstyles; While most domestic women have bangs and long straight black hair with a middle part, while there are relatively few young women with perms and curly hair.
Overall, the main reason why Chinese Americans and Asian Americans look different is makeup and expressions.
Considering the appearance characteristics of East Asians, it is really not good to blindly pursue European and American style makeup and expression management!
Look at the fairy Liu Yifei, when she is without makeup, she is like this, she is definitely beautiful!
But after going to the United States to make a movie, the result is like this!
Another example is the Korean idol artist Lisa, this is what she looked like before she went to Europe and the United States.
But after I went to Europe and the United States, my style of painting became like this! The whole face became very weird, and there was an indescribable feeling.
and this Chinese actress Bai Ling, who looked like this before she went to the United States, with a heroic beauty.
But after going to the United States, it became this style. It's like a "huge change in life"!
These real-life examples all show that East Asians should not try to control the makeup, hairstyle, and expressions of white people, otherwise it will backfire and make themselves unforeign, which is very funny!
