    2. Creativity and Theme Relevance: Evaluation of whether the makeup design aligns with the “Incomplete Angel” theme and effectively contrasts imperfection with purity.
    3. Completion Ratio: 80% of the makeup must be completed before the competition, with the remaining 20% finished live on-site (e.g., refining key areas or adding light effects).
