Danielle Graham, the hostess of Olay advertisement, was active in/kloc-0 from 1999 to 2004.

Malaysian Chinese mother and Irish father gave her a very attractive mixed-race face.

There are both skin that can be broken by blowing bombs and red in white, as well as deep and stretched facial features and layout.

Making her look like "Danielle" indicates that she has a chic sense of youth besides femininity, refreshing and ethereal, and stretching the atmosphere.

So it naturally became the most beautiful "Olay girl" in many people's minds.

Danielle, with outstanding appearance, chose modeling as a career after graduating from middle school and left Kuala Lumpur for Hong Kong at the age of 2/kloc-0.

Danielle had actually gathered a lot of popularity in Hong Kong long before Olay advertisements were popular in Asia.

She once starred in the movie Exotic 2002 with Nicholas Tse, in which she played a charming and clever nurse:

And Wong Kar-wai took a fancy to it and co-starred with Zhang zhen in DJ Shadow's MV Six Days.

In the video, she has short, playful hair similar to Effie's, and her stubbornness reveals a little nervousness and looks like Liang Luoshi.

From a certain point of view, it is also very similar to the British actor Rosamund Pike.

After becoming the image ambassador of Olay Asia, Danielle, who is about to start building a high-rise building, was involved in a news story in Momo.

At that time, it was called "Luo Zhaohui wants to take pictures" by the Hong Kong media:

To a certain extent, it has affected her popularity in the advertising industry in Hong Kong, which is accumulated by her pure image.

Coupled with the Buddhist nature of her own enjoyment of life, her acting career has never peaked again.

At the age of 3 1 in 2008, she married Malaysian rich Patrick Khwoo, had a son and a daughter, and completely faded out of the show business.

However, because the image of "Olay girl" is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. So on 20 12, Olay Advertising Department invited Danielle back.

Together with Dong Xuan and Liu Xin, he filmed a series of micro-movies called Hold on to 25.

Now Danielle is a food writer and has her own kitchenware product line. Every day, besides basking in life, I just bask in food, which looks very comfortable and happy.

She insists on fitness and healthy eating all the year round, and her state still looks very good.

In retrospect, Danielle's popularity was inseparable from the big environment at that time.

As she described in the interview, the advertising industry in Hong Kong from the end of 20th century to the beginning of this century is a mixed-race world.

Every day from morning till night, there are countless shooting jobs waiting for her.

The famous Li Meiqi, amanda strang and Lisa. S also debuted in that era.

However, with the advent of the social network era, people's attention is increasingly occupied by computer and mobile phone screens, and the commercial status of TV advertisements has also become precarious.

A large number of electronic screens that appear almost instantly need to be filled with endless fresh beauty. Advertisements such as actress and Danielle's necromancer are not enough.

Angel Baby and Liu Bili were in this transitional period when they debuted as mixed-race tender models.

Liu Bili may be the last "Olay Girl" who left a deep impression on the public.

The angel baby who keeps up with the rhythm of the times has transformed from a TV and media model to a top artist.

Liu Bili, whose thinking is still in the TV era, seeks a sense of existence in the old lady of Xi Mi Hua, giving birth to one child after another for Xi Mi Hua, and living a life of "the strongest third child in history".

After the angel baby became popular, online celebrities and the bean-loving economy became more and more popular.

Although the channels to show beauty have changed dramatically, the reasons why people like beauty have not changed much.

Half-blood face is still the most sought after face in the online world.

With the help of beauty app, both amateurs and online celebrities hope to get the praise of "you look so mixed-race".

Of course, this aesthetic was more extreme five or six years ago, when the mobile Internet just emerged.

The bad taste of plastic surgery that we are criticizing now, and the red face on the net, are all the sequelae left by the crazy era of "pursuing extreme miscellaneous feelings".

At this point, even the regular army in the entertainment circle sitting at the top of the Yan value contempt chain can't be excused.

Lemon, Gong Xinliang, Zhang Jingchu and Li XiaoLu. , were overthrown at that stage.

So why do we love mixed-race Yan so much?

Just because Europe and America are economically and culturally developed, do we have a strong desire for strength?

Of course, there are some influences in this respect, but the more reason is that people themselves have the aesthetic impulse to pursue "exoticism"

This impulse is not only reflected in the face, but also in various aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Because the face gives us the most direct information, it gives us the impression that people seem to have a special preference for mixed-race faces.

Pursuing "foreign flavor" is not only the fashion of comprador and Shanghai hipsters in the early 20th century, but also the choice of many people all over the world.

For the Japanese in Nara's time. "Foreign flavor" is the basic necessities, customs and habits of the Tang people.

But for the Central Plains people in the Tang Dynasty. "Foreign flavor" refers to the costumes, music and diet of Persia, India, Arabia and Central Asia;

Hu Ji, who sells wine in Lu, is also Hu Er who dances Hu Teng.

For western Europeans in the Renaissance, "foreign flavor" is sincerity and solemnity in ancient Greek aesthetics;

But in the Enlightenment era, "foreign flavor" was porcelain and screens from the Far East;

For Americans at the end of19th century, France is so strange that they feel inferior.

However, for the French at that time, "foreign flavor" refers to the romantic and lazy "oriental style" in the Middle East and North Africa.

In short, all these actions are telling one thing, that is, people always need something foreign and "foreign" to bring us vitality.

Almost rooted in nature, we are always attracted by something new that we have never seen before.

If we look closely, we will also find that the hobby of mixed-race beauty is not only the unique aesthetic preference of East Asians.

In developed countries in Europe and America, it is still an irresistible trend.

Just because our distinction between "foreign countries" is always vague.

We often can't distinguish South America, North America, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, which leads us to think that "Europeans and Americans" are all the same.

In fact, however, there is only one region in Europe that can be roughly divided into three ethnic groups: Latin, Germanic Ren and Madame Starr.

The popular appearance of each ethnic group often deviates from the local mainstream appearance.

For example, Jenny, the wife of the famous Finnish F 1 racing driver Raikkonen:

As a 200 1 miss from Skadi (including Nordic countries politically), her face is not a common blonde in Northern Europe, but a typical German beauty:

But more like gypsies' dark brown hair and tanned skin all the year round.

There are also French literary goddesses Stacy Martin and Eva Green, whose eyebrow eye structures are not typical Latin beauties, but closer to North Africa.

Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend Irina Schaick, who is very popular in Russia and Italy, is not a typical Russian beauty in our impression.

As a Tatar, she looks tough, and her temperament and customs are closer to Latin America than Europe.

And we are all familiar with the network celebrity sisters, Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Just by looking at their surnames, we can know that they are descendants of the Middle East. The appearance is indeed very different from that of meg ryan, a typical white American woman.

If you see their 10-year-old sister, the feeling of Yan will in the Middle East will be more obvious:

Not to mention the Kardashian sisters who are always at the forefront of the topic list:

Their thick eyebrows, thick lips, thick legs and fat buttocks are also common features of Hispanics and African Americans.

In a word, just like Ukiyo-e painting from Japan inspired European painters in the19th century to create impressionist paintings.

The human aesthetic itself has the impulse of continuous growth.

Even in the process of mastering, all kinds of embarrassment and bad taste are inevitable.

But for us, it is probably beneficial to observe every aesthetic with an open mind.
