Greek mythology has always been a popular and creative text, not only reflecting the most primitive feelings and desires and emotional expressions of human nature, but also exerting great influence in the later Western society. In addition to the influence of "humanity" on the characters’ emotional expression, the creation of literature and art with the theme of Greek mythology also accounts for a large part in the Western world.

In the Chinese history of more than 5,000 years, people have developed their own aesthetics from their life, ethics and culture. From ancient books, people can look into the beauty of China and try to explore all aspects of beauty including beauty of the body and appearance from various angles. The beauty of the ancient Chinese ladies is presented with makeup, and face makeup was created with different makeup styles of ancient Chinese dynasties to reproduce the beautiful look of Chinese makeup.

This author researches and summarizes three conclusions. First, the myth is the form of tale created by the ancestors with their imagination in order to survive in the fickle nature. Second, in the development of makeup form, there is a very large development room for the traditional Chinese makeup to improve. Third, in the creative techniques, the full-image 3D filming techniques combined with digital photography, which is used to present the development and diversity of new technology.

By the creative thinking of the author and through the creation of new art technology, combining the images of the East and the West, this study connects Greek mythology with traditional Chinese makeup, as a new start for the integration of multiple cultures, and it can also provide future creators with reference.
