Let's talk about the makeup details of this time first. To match the overall Blue Fairytale style, the eye makeup purposely used a large area of pink blending, paired with dense, high-presence fake eyelashes. Small red fruit-shaped stickers were applied under the eyes and on the cheeks, surrounded by white snowflake glitter, which creates extremely eye-catching reflective effects under the lights of the night parade. The hairstyle is braided into two low, thick pigtails, with some stray hairs naturally draping along both sides of the cheeks to frame the face while maintaining a high compatibility with the wide-brimmed hat.
In terms of clothing coordination, the main color is bright blue spliced with beige-gold fabric, giving it a strong vintage and gorgeous feel. The top features a square collar design with silver lace and sequin trim along the edges, while the sleeves are puffy ruffle short sleeves, with a standard rectangular name tag worn on the chest. The most eye-catching part is this large skirt hem, adopting a multi-layered blue-and-gold tiered cake skirt design. Every layer is sewn with pearl-like tassel pendants and white lace, and the innermost layer has a white petticoat added, giving the skirt hem a substantial volume and wide swing amplitude when walking. The wide-brimmed hat worn on the head features white lace ribbons, silver decorations, and a pink bow, while the props in hand include a black folding fan and a black cane with gold carving and red roses, enriching the overall details.
Since this was an NPC parade at Wansui Mountain, it wasn't just about dressing to fit the theme, but also learning to maintain one's state in a crowd. The night scenery atmosphere here is truly strong; the background buildings are densely hung with light bulbs, forming very beautiful circular bokeh in the lens, making it extremely photogenic without any extra lighting needed. During the parade, constant interaction with tourists was required. My expression management basically revolved around playfulness and surprise—sometimes resting my chin on my hand and pouting, sometimes half-covering my face with the folding fan, or waving to everyone while holding the brim of the hat with one hand. Walking all day in such a heavy skirt means core strength is really important, especially when going up and down steps, where you have to lift the skirt a bit, otherwise, it's very easy to trip.
For those who want to try this kind of gorgeous style, the base makeup must be well-set, because nighttime outdoor activities are prone to oil and sweat production, and combined with heavy headwear, the makeup easily becomes patchy. Although a large skirt hem looks great in photos, movement is indeed restricted; it is recommended to pair it with a comfortable pair of thick-soled or flat shoes since the skirt hem completely covers them. When taking pictures, you can make more use of the props at hand—the cane and folding fan can keep your limbs from looking stiff, and try to choose places where the background lights have a sense of depth, with a slight upward angle to fully display the gorgeousness of the skirt hem. The overall styling this time, paired with the night lighting, truly achieved the visual effect I expected.
