A TWO-SECOND show of China Central Television anchor He Hongmei applying makeup was broadcast by mistake during the national TV station’s live evening news Wednesday.

According to some Web posts circulated on main Chinese portals, the mistake happened at about 10:20 p.m., when CCTV-1 was broadcasting a segment of international news footage and switched to the studio as the anchor was applying powder. After two seconds, the image switched back to the original footage.

Although the scene lasted only about two seconds, some Chinese Internet users expressed anger at the national broadcaster for the mistake.
