Overseasidol.com — Chinese actress Jin Chen found herself at the center of online debate after her recent appearance at a fashion event sparked accusations of “overdone cosmetic enhancements”.
On December 7, she addressed the controversy directly during a livestream, offering a candid and humorous explanation.
Moving closer to the camera, Jin Chen expressed disappointment over her own makeup choices.
“I was upset—why did I do my makeup like that? It was my mistake. I promise I won’t mess around with makeup on my own anymore. It looked terrible,” she said honestly.
She even joked, “How was I supposed to know white eyeshadow would look that bad on me?,”.
Earlier, unedited red-carpet photos from the T Fashion Gala circulated online, showing uneven makeup around her nose and unclear contouring, which quickly led to speculation that the actress had undergone excessive cosmetic treatments.
The debate escalated as Jin Chen’s appearance usually praised for its elegance became a topic of intense scrutiny.
Some netizens claimed her facial features looked altered, while others argued that poor makeup application was the real issue.
Despite holding an impressive 3.8 billion yuan in total box-office achievements, Jin Chen found herself caught in a whirlwind of criticism, with viewers dissecting details as small as slight lip asymmetry and subtle changes in her nasal bridge.
However, her straightforward and lighthearted response during the livestream won over many fans.
Acknowledging her makeup mishap and promising more careful styling in the future, Jin Chen showed authenticity that resonated with supporters, who encouraged her not to be affected by harsh online comments.
