There is English writing on the back that talks about the Facial Make-up of Chinese Peking Opera
Facial Makeup of Beijing Opera
The facial makeup is a special design on the face of Beijing opera actors and actresses. It is characterized by exquisite patterns of bright colors
and fine, smooth lines applied by painting with brush and rubbing by hand to achieve artistic exaggeration. The colorful, varied patterns for the
painted face roles show the noble and humble, the beautiful and ugly, the good and evil, and the loyal and treacherous. They are in sharp contrast
with the plain, neat facial designs of the sheng (the male) and dan (the female) roles, thus producing a strong aesthetic effect, different roles in
Beijing opera-sheng, dan, jing (the male with a painted face), and chou (the clown)-have different facial makeups.

Costumes and Makeup of Beijing Opera
Beijing Opera features four main types of roles: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.
The facial makeup uses a special method which emphasizes characteristics, whilst being an art form in itself, combining spiritual and artistic expression. Usually bat's, swallow's, or butterfly's' wings are painted on eyebrows, eyes and cheeks, and nose and mouth are exaggerated to portray facial expressions.
The costumes of Beijing Opera have strong Chinese characteristics, and from the styles, audiences can identify the characters. The styles are divided into Dayi, Eryi, Sanyi and Yunjian.
