The Chinese and Japanese people have different facial features. The shape of the eyes, nose, mouth, and face all change to adjust to their environment. For example, Japan is a humid place with four seasons like the United States has two seasons: winter and summer. Meanwhile, in China, there are dry areas where it’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
There are many nuances to take into consideration when looking at these two cultures, such as their style of dress and how they express themselves through body language. However, we can focus on some very basic facial features which you will notice the most.
The major difference is that Chinese people use a lot more makeup than Japanese people do. This is because in China it’s seen as a sign of wealth and beauty not to show any signs of aging on your face; while in Japan it’s seen as more natural to have some lines around your eyes or mouth from smiling or laughing too much (if you’re lucky enough).
