Experience Introduction Before lipstick was invented, the ancestors of ancient China were already using cosmetics. Girls in ancient times might have a better collection of colors than you! Lipstick is the predecessor of lipstick and lipstick, a combination of “lipstick + fragrance” for ancient beauty-loving women. The use of lipstick was much earlier than tube lipstick. It began in the Qin and Han Dynasties and became particularly popular in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the lip balm was made of wax and precious spices. It was poured into bamboo tubes for preservation and use. It had a rich and charming fragrance. At that time, people put lipstick in small boxes or jars, and directly dipped and applied it with their fingers. Princess Yongle, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, made a variety of homemade cosmetics and opened a garden dedicated to planting various spices and flowers. Among them, there are twenty or thirty species of plants that are used only for making rouge lipstick, which shows that the technology of lipstick making in my country during the Tang Dynasty has been perfected and diversified. In the past, most lipsticks were bright red. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, sandalwood-colored lipsticks were also popular. Sandalwood color is now flesh-colored and nude. This color of lipstick is still popular today. Purple lips are the most beautiful part of the makeup of ancient beauties. Women’s brightly painted lips always exude the fragrance of expensive luxury, which makes men very intoxicated. “On the mountain pillow, I whisper about the fragrance of lipstick.” “The red lips have not moved, and I feel the fragrance of lipstick first.” The charm in these poems Each paragraph explains the charm of lipstick. According to Liu Xi’s “Explanation of the Ming Dynasty” in the Eastern Han Dynasty: “Lip grease is made of red, which looks like red lips.” Dan is cinnabar, which is toxic.
