Brilio.net - Makeup transformation is the art of changing the appearance of the face using innovative and creative makeup techniques. This can involve drastic changes such as transforming someone into a fictional character, or more subtle such as enhancing facial features.
This transformation is often used in the fashion industry, film, and performing arts, as well as a form of individual creative expression. In Indonesia, one interesting form of makeup transformation is the depiction of wayang kulit characters. Wayang kulit, which is a traditional Javanese performing art, has characters with unique and diverse characteristics.
Adapting wayang makeup styles into modern makeup provides an opportunity to explore cultural richness while testing creativity. As shared by one TikTok user with the account name @icceteaa. The video contains her transformation when applying makeup to the wayang character Srikandi. Immediately, her upload invited a lot of praise because the results were really similar.
"This is just my interpretation of the character through makeup design, Srikandi is a complex character and it's my chance to do a more complex look," she wrote in the caption of the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net quoted on Friday (30/8).

As is known, Srikandi is one of the famous wayang kulit characters in Javanese culture and is part of the Mahabharata story. Srikandi's face in wayang kulit has distinctive characteristics and deep symbolism. It is no wonder that imitating Srikandi's face is not easy.

However, this is not a problem for the account owner known as Asty. At the beginning of the video, her face is still plain without a single touch of makeup. A few seconds later, her face immediately changes with full expressive makeup. She managed to make her face look like the character Srikandi.

It looks like a smooth white complexion, colorful and meaningful eye makeup, elegant wayang-style measurements, and lip makeup that makes her look more like Srikandi. Not only that, she also draws measurements on her forehead, as a hair effect that resembles Srikandi. These details help add dimension and depth to Srikandi's characterization.
Her firm expression with a thin facial contour gives an elegant and authoritative impression. This form reflects the character of a woman who is firm and brave like Srikandi.
