Ancient lipstick making materials

The ancient lipstick materials include cinnabar, beeswax and natural plants.

The early oral fat was mainly composed of bovine bone marrow, bovine fat and some herbal extracts, which were made by boiling and mixing, adding appropriate spices, honey and cinnabar. In addition to the traditional raw materials mentioned above, with the changes of the times, some new materials have also been used to make oral fat. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, oral fat was replaced by beeswax, a wax secreted by bees.

After the Song Dynasty, some natural ingredients such as flowers and Chinese herbal medicines were added to the oral fat. For example, the "peach blossom mouth fat" made of peach blossom petals can make people's lips appear delicate and dripping; There is also the peony bark ground into the final "peony oral fat", which has a unique elegant fragrance and is deeply loved by scholars at that time.

Drawing steps of lipstick

When applying lipstick, you must use a lip liner, carefully outline and improve the non-standard lip shape. The painting method of perfect cherry lips is actually very simple. The key point is that the center of the lower lip is plump and can slightly exceed the original outline. Never draw corners of the mouth beyond the original outline. The steps are as follows:

1, first cover the original outline and color with foundation and honey powder.

2, the lower lip should be full. The middle part can slightly exceed the original outline, people with thick lips can paint it thinner, and people with thin lips can paint it about 0. 1 cm larger than the original outline.

3. Open your mouth slightly and fill the lipstick in the corner of your mouth, but be careful not to overflow.
