Peng Liyuan - dubbed the Chinese Kate Middleton - was attending the dinner during her husband Xi Jinping's historic state visit to the UK
China's first lady seems to have suffered a regrettable make-up mishap at a swanky dinner last night.
Peng Liyuan - dubbed the Chinese Kate Middleton - was attending the Lord Mayor's banquet as part of her husband Xi Jinping's historic state visit to the UK.
But when Madame Peng, who was a famous folk singer before she married President Xi , arrived at the lavish do at London's Guildhall, something seemed odd with her foundation.
The fashion-conscious first lady had unsightly white powder all over her forehead and nose.

Never saw the movie, but that’s funny!............
Many Asian cultures have an obsession with pale skin, and the women of those cultures go to great lengths to lighten their complexions. This looks to be an overly-hasty attempt to do this; probably spent too much time getting dressed/ready to leave, and realized at the last minute that she forgot the face powder.
She’s more attractive then the beast we have in the White House.
It’s one of the classic movie scenes of all time.

Yes, this is caused by face powders containing silica or SPF which reflect the light very strongly. This effect is not visible in daylight but is highly apparent under flash photography. Lots of celebrities have experienced this problem, along with unfortunate brides.
You been here 4 hour!!!
Confucius say woman who lose face lose face.
Nope, caused by powder with ingredients that reflect light in flash photography. Here’s proof:

She used a photo finishing powder but apparently it wasn’t applied well and evenly with a brush.
Otherwise she cut an elegant figure. So much better carriage and bearing than the current WH.

Even with the face powder, she looks better than ours............................
I dunno, I don’t wear makeup (not even on the weekends! ;-) ... So I’ve got to ask, how does this even happen? Did she not look in the mirror as she was getting ready? Did no-one in the entourage think to discretely give her a heads up? Nice friends and associates you’ve got there lady...
It doesn’t really matter how it was applied, although it looks like a puff was used. Even with a brush, it would still have flashback. A very thin layer would allow less reflection, though you’d still get it depending on the ingredients. The only way to be sure powder won’t overly reflect under flash is to pretest it.

Her makeup likely looked perfect to the naked eye. This effect is due to relective ingredients in powder and it only shows up under intense flash lighting in photography, not in natural lighting. I’ve always wondered why makeup artists don’t test out their powders beforehand and not use these products on clients being photographed. Also, why don’t the manufacturers pretest and give their customers a heads up or a disclaimer? This should not be happening as it is a well-known problem in the makeup world.
Never mind the makeup. The permed pompadour look (or whatever her do is) doesn’t agree with her.
ROFL ROFL
Too much silica powder not properly blended bounces light from a flash to show up in photos.
Happens all the time.
