First of all, the following are all hand-made, please forgive me for being verbose...

There are actually many ancient cosmetics, I think they can be roughly divided into two categories,

< p>The first category is contact with skin, which is what the poster mentioned above.

The first type is incense that has a SPA feel, which is made with peppercorns, orchids, etc. I feel that the taste of the ancients is very strange, and they like to use peppercorns for incense. It is mentioned in Du Mu's "Afanggong Fu".

For skin contact, in addition to what the poster mentioned, there is also raw lard, which will make the skin look smoother.

Dotting moles is also an integral part of it. Black oil or other colored powders are often used to outline the appearance of moles.

I used to watch TV saying that the Empress Dowager Cixi liked to use powder made from dong pearls for beauty. Dong beads are big pearls. Now they are no longer sold. Pearl powder is all over the street...Watch online After some research, I found that pearl powder was used in the Song Dynasty.

As for the external accessories of Huadian Forehead Huang, I won’t say much more. Most of them are gold and silver products. To put it bluntly, they are jewelry.

The most important thing for the ancients was to apply powder.

Some are made of fine chestnut rice, and some are made of ash ground from white stones. In short, the ancients applied it on their faces for decoration, which was nothing more than powder and animal fat.

But so far I have only seen lard...

As for the rouge gouache mentioned above, everyone knows about it!

The second is the incense for external makeup.

Jiollan is undoubtedly the most famous incense cosmetic.

In addition, there are red sandalwood, agarwood and other spices, which are relatively famous.

The ancients also used mulberry juice for beauty. That dark thing is pretty good.

As for the paper that the poster mentioned...

It is the lipstick mentioned by the poster, a kind of lipstick...

It just became more common later... ...In ancient times, oil was still used...

Well, by the way, there is also lead...

Even in the Jin Dynasty, Wu Shi Powder was regarded as a holy beauty product .

What is taken internally... is nothing but drugs.
