In the latest installment of Cut Video's 100 Years of Beauty [1] series, we are taken on a trip through the mesmerizing looks of China. In just under one minute, we see the radiant skin and rosy cheeks of the 1910s, the Gatsby-like finger waves [2] of the '20s, and the quirky teased strands and "nerd" glasses of the 1980s.
Chinese women have been way ahead of the curve when it comes to trends. Over centuries, the "no-makeup" makeup look has become their signature (way before tinted moisturizer existed [3]), and they know the importance of using red lipstick [4] to amp up a pout. Almost every look from this transformation translates seamlessly to present day, proving that Chinese women have truly mastered timeless beauty. Keep watching to get inspired.
