In the fast-paced world of Chinese mini-dramas, actors are often covered in heavy "Idol Makeup" to fit the dramatic, high-contrast aesthetic of short-form content. However, in 2026, more stars are embracing the "natural look" on social media and during live streams.

Here is a look at the top handsome actors who prove that their visuals are 100% real, even without the professional touch.

1. Shen Haonan

With Makeup: Known for his "Cold CEO" look, his makeup usually emphasizes his sharp jawline and intense eyes.
Without Makeup: Fans were shocked to see his casual gym selfies in early 2026. Without the eyeliner and contour, Shen Haonan has a much softer, youthful appearance that many fans actually prefer.

2. He Congrui

With Makeup: Often styled as the "Fairytale Prince," his on-screen look is polished and ethereal.
Without Makeup: He often goes live on Douyin with a bare face. His skin is famously clear, earning him the nickname "Skin King" among the mini-drama community this year.

3. Chen Jingke

With Makeup: Typically sports a mature, sophisticated look for his leading roles.
Without Makeup: Off-camera, Chen Jingke embraces a rugged, "manly" aesthetic. His natural look features a slight five-o'clock shadow that drives fans wild on X and Instagram.

4. Li Fei (Richard Li)

With Makeup: The master of historical mini-dramas, his makeup is usually heavy on traditional aesthetics.
Without Makeup: In 2026, Li Fei shared vlogs of his travels where he wore zero makeup. His deep-set eyes and natural features prove why he remains a top visual in the industry.
