In makeup, emphasize the expression of personal facial features, and use more earth-toned makeup and red or dark red lip makeup products. When it comes to hairstyles, they pay more attention to fluffiness, and most of them have curly hair styles. Black hair color is the absolute mainstream.

In that era before plastic surgery and Photoshop were rampant, Hong Kong actresses were each uniquely beautiful, truly unparalleled in their beauty, and beyond compare. 2. What are the styles of “Hong Kong style” outfits?

1. Simple casual style

Most Hong Kong style outfits are neutral styles, such as oversize white shirts, denim jackets, high-waisted jeans, camisole and shoulder-padded suits. White shirts with "Hong Kong style" characteristics are generally looser, especially the sleeves are generally larger. A loose shirt will make people look more handsome.

If you feel that wearing an oversize shirt is too bulky, you can also do like Gong Li, cross-stack the shirt on the chest, tie it up to turn into a short top, and pair it with black straight pants, which will make you look full from the chest down. It's the rhythm of the legs!

Both in the past and now, denim elements are very popular, and a denim outfit is very common. Denim jacket + jeans are very classic.

In the past, most denim jackets were in the oversize style, and then added with high-waisted jeans to create a girly style. Girls really have nothing to do with being cool.

Speaking of charming and sexy, the first thing that comes to mind is a red dress. The use of red in Hong Kong style can be said to be precise and ruthless. Many classic screen images will use this color. When paired with the wavy hair of Hong Kong female stars of that era, it is both charming and sexy.

Guan Zhilin’s red dress really represents sexiness and charm to the extreme. I can’t help but look at this picture many times, haha.

What impressed me most was Qiu Shuzhen’s classic red windbreaker + red skirt in "God of Gamblers 2". Qiu Shuzhen's image of red dress and red lips has become a red rose in the minds of many people.

3. Elegant and dignified style

For a true beauty, beauty and elegance are hidden in her bones and reflected in her outfit. She never gives up her sophistication because of the passing of time. Therefore, the elegance of a girl lies in her temperament and her outfit.

The texture of clothes is also one of the important factors that affect style. As long as the colors are matched appropriately, wearing gentle and elegant drape fabrics with suit pants will not only add to the fashion sense, but also make the clothes more elegant and intellectual in terms of drape. Combined with the sophistication of suit pants, it shows the sophistication of the outfit. 3. What are the "Hong Kong style" items that can be learned from?
