Method for make ancient rouge

The method of making rouge in ancient times, now every girl has her own cosmetics, which is the method of modern women's makeup. In ancient times, girls also had their own makeup methods. In ancient times, people used cosmetics called "rouge". Let's share how to make ancient rouge.

Method of making ancient rouge 1 method 1.

1. Pick the whole blooming red and blue flowers, put them in a stone bowl, and hammer them repeatedly with a stone pestle or wooden pestle until they are pulpy.

2. Add clean water, wrap the yellow juice with gauze, then rinse it with sour chestnut water and rice washing water (this step is to dissolve the yellow pigment), and then wring the juice with gauze.

3. Put the remaining dry matter into a jar and dry it in the shade, and you can get bright and ruddy rouge.

According to ancient records, the raw materials for making rouge are far more than red and blue flowers, as well as sunflower, crimson, black bean skin, pomegranate, mountain flower, sappan and other Chinese medicines. People can extract natural red pigment from these traditional Chinese medicines to make rouge, but rouge has become the reference of all red makeup.

Method two.

Squeeze the clean red rose petals into juice in a clean container, and then put them into the cotton slices of that year. When the rose juice is completely immersed in the cotton piece, take it out and dry it. After drying, put it in a sealed pottery jar. When in use, take out one or two tablets, put them in the palm of your hand, drop one or two drops of water, push them evenly with your hands and pat them on your cheeks.

Method three.

Rouge flowers, roses, gardenias or any red flowers should be finely crushed, filtered with fine sand to remove residues, dried and dripped with a little osmanthus oil, which is rouge. With flowery colors and fragrance.

Method four.

Pick red and blue flowers in the morning, preferably with dew, and mash them into juice like a pounder. Add water, wrap with gauze, and wring out the yellow juice. Add sour chestnuts and rice washing water and wash them together like rice washing water. Yellow pigment dissolves and distorts, and the rest is red pigment.

Red and blue flowers have two kinds of pigments, red pigment and yellow pigment. The latter is difficult to dye, so separate. Add preservatives and dry in the shade to get very red, very red, very bright, very bright rouge. You can add other pink tones to the color.

Ancient Rouge Making Method 2 Rouge

If there were any cosmetics in ancient times, rouge must be in the forefront. As the saying goes, "three thousand ladies-in-waiting rouge noodles", rouge and rouge were collectively called "rouge" in ancient times.

There are two theories about the origin of rouge: the first one originated in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, when the raw materials were mainly "red and blue" flowers, which contained red and yellow pigments. People mashed red and blue flowers and ground them in a mortar. Later, people added alum to fix the color.

After grinding the red and blue flowers, add clear water, filter with gauze, and then filter the yellow in the flower juice with acidic ion rice washing water to make red dye, and dry it to become rouge.

Later, rouge continued to develop, and people would make it with cinnabar, Lithospermum or rose petals. According to legend, the rouge used by Empress Dowager Cixi needs to choose first-class rose petals, and only a dozen kilograms of petals can be selected for 100 kg.

Another way of saying it is that rouge comes from Xiongnu in the northwest. Xiongnu has a Yanqi Mountain with a kind of red flowers on it. Women painted on the surface are very beautiful. Attila's wife likes to use this kind of red cloth best, so people call Attila's wife "E Shi", which is the homonym of rouge. Later, the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, and rouge spread to the Central Plains, which has since become a necessary cosmetic for women in the Central Plains.

According to the Tang Dynasty's "The Secret of Outer Taiwan", the ancient practice of oral fat was: "Cooked two, Radix Arnebiae five, clove two, musk one or two, four flavors, with Jia as the ointment."

This lipstick has no color and can cure cleft lip, similar to the lip balm we use in modern times.

After rouge, let's talk about thrush, which was especially important in ancient times. In ancient times, men were often regarded as women's thrushes to show their great love. The ancients attached great importance to eyebrows. They think that "Heaven has Niti, and people have two eyebrows, which shows that the ancients attached importance to eyebrows."

Thrush appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was widely circulated in the Warring States Period. At first, people painted jade plum with burnt willow branches, but this eyebrow color is unnatural and easy to erase.

Later, a thrush tool named "Shi Dai" was recorded in the preface to "Yu Tai Xin Yong". The ancient version of the "eyebrow pencil" was made by grinding the inkstone into fine powder and mixing it with water for solidification. The eyebrows painted by Shi Dai are very natural and are very popular among women.

Besides Shi Dai used by ordinary people, women in upper-class aristocratic society prefer "Luo Dai". We can see in the TV series "The Queen of the Palace" that Hua Fei is jealous because of wearing a snail, which is very precious.

According to the records of the Sui Dynasty, "When snails were put out of the Persian kingdom, each snail was worth ten gold. If the post-levy is insufficient, it will be given by bronze. "

A ribbon is worth tens of gold, and only a woman with a very prominent position can enjoy it. In fact, mother-of-pearl is a blue-black mineral pigment, and the mother-of-pearl can draw black eyebrows just by dipping it in water. Screw wear is too expensive, and women with a little money will change it to "copper wear".

Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Copper blue, also known as patina, is the essence of copper."

Copper wear is actually copper rust. Some colors of bronze Dai are Persian indigo, and some are fresh and delicate, which can be used to thrush when ground into green powder.

lead powder

There is also an important procedure for ancient women to apply rouge and thrush, which is "base makeup". Our modern beauty makeup is endless, which is the first step of all makeup. Some cosmetics can not only conceal the blemishes perfectly, but also lock the moisture in the skin. So what was the makeup of the ancients?

It is recorded in the Song Dynasty's Ji Yuan Shi: "In Zhou Wenwang, women began to pay for lead powder."

Lead powder and rice flour are two magic weapons for ancient women to make up. Rice flour is made by grinding sorghum or millet into powder, then washing until the water color is clear and there is no beige color, adding cold water, fermenting, grinding into rice slurry, air drying and shaping, and grinding into fine powder.

Although this kind of pure natural rice flour is harmless to the body, it can't hold makeup well and needs to be put on frequently. Moreover, after sweating in summer, "acne" is likely to appear on the face.

It was not until later that people discovered "lead powder", also called "Hu powder" and "lead flower". The word "wash away the lead" originally meant to wash away the makeup on the face, and later it was extended to remove the false appearance. Lead powder is thin and white, with strong adhesion and easy storage.

The method of making lead powder was recorded in Qi Yaomin's Book of the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to records, it can be seen that lead powder contains minerals such as lead, tin and aluminum. Because lead is a harmful heavy metal, excessive intake is harmful to people's health, so "lead" in our modern cosmetics should be strictly controlled.

Ancient women loved to make up, but not everyone could make up. Under the traditional concept that men are superior to women, women's status is low, and they are often in a low posture to please men.

Although modern women make up to make others like it better, most women just want to make themselves happy and improve themselves. But in ancient times, it didn't seem to mean this. Women wear makeup to please men.

As the saying goes, "A good woman doesn't marry two husbands", and the concept of "chastity" of ancient women is deeply rooted. If a woman's husband dies, she can't put on makeup anymore. "I have no face when I put on sesame oil." A sober woman will lose face. With her husband gone, makeup is a sign of "licentiousness".

An ornament worn by women in the old days.

"The icing on the cake, Luo Yi hangs Qingjiang." In costume TV series, especially in Tang Dynasty TV series, we often see a small flower bud on the forehead of women in Tang Dynasty. There was totem worship at the beginning of bud appearance, and people used patterns to decorate their faces to express their beliefs, but in the later period, the decorative function of bud became stronger and stronger.

There is also a beautiful legend about the origin of flower buds. It is said that in the Southern Dynasties, the Southern Emperor Wu Song had a princess who loved her very much. The princess was so charming that she once played in the imperial garden and fell asleep in the garden when she was sleepy. The breeze blew through the flower branches, and a small plum blossom just landed on her forehead.

When the princess woke up, the plum blossom on her forehead left a mark, which took three days to wash off. Because the plum blossom is printed on the princess's forehead, which makes the princess look more charming, so people follow suit and name it "plum blossom makeup".

Flower makeup has three colors of red, green and Huang San, among which red is the most. Women cut gold foil, paper or fishbone into the desired shape, and then stick it between their foreheads with fish foil, which can be easily removed with hot water when removing makeup. A small flower bud between a woman's eyebrows is more charming and beautiful.

How to make ancient rouge 3 How to make ancient rouge gouache?

When we were watching costume dramas, the ancients used rouge gouache instead of liquid foundation, blush and so on. Sometimes I wonder how they could make these things when their technology was underdeveloped at that time. Sometimes I really have to admire the thoughts of the ancients. In that harsh environment, I can make very delicate rouge gouache.

Rouge is a contemporary blush. I think the ancient rouge is more delicate and colorful than what we have now. Because ancient people did not add any impurities, our modern blush will add a lot of chemical elements. Slowly, it is no longer so pure.

Method for making rouge:

1, take brightly colored roses, the color must be red, and the color of each petal should be the same or similar.

2. Wash them and squeeze out the juice.

3, take some new silk reeling, pay attention to the silk can not be connected together. Put the silk in the rouge box.

4. Put the pressed petals into the silk and wait for the petals to be completely soaked. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight.

5. After a while, silk and petals can be used. Every time you use it, take a little and melt it in your palm. Very delicate.

Gouache, like our liquid foundation now, has whitening effect.

Production method:

1. Take some fresh rice and soak it in water for about fifteen days. You can smell sour, that's all.

Take it out and grind the rice into paste with something. It must be ground very finely.

3. Separate clear water from the paste, and put the paste into a container to wait for natural air drying.

After a while, the water evaporates, and a layer of things on the surface can be scraped off with a ruler, so that a very delicate gouache can appear.

The fineness of gouache depends on the accuracy of your paste. If it is finely ground, the product will be delicate and the makeup will be natural. If it is rolled roughly, the gouache particles produced will be larger.

There are many ways to make rouge gouache in ancient times, but most of the colors come from flowers and plants. It is really pure natural and pollution-free cosmetics, and it is also my favorite now.

Moreover, the methods of making rouge gouache in ancient times are actually varied, with a wide variety of materials and rich production techniques, which are introduced in many books. Let me introduce you to a relatively simple method of making rouge that I have heard of.

I have heard of such a method of making rouge: soak new rice in water for a few days. It is said that it takes ten days, but it is said that it only takes four or five days for people who really make rouge in this way.

Because the book says that the effect is to soak the rice until it is sour and smelly, and the producer can cook it in summer. It only takes four or five days for the rice to be sour and smelly, and the final effect seems to be good. So I guess it is enough to soak the rice until it is sour and smelly.

Because it is probably because some ingredients in rice will become suitable for making rouge after rice turns sour and smelly, it is ok to take turning sour and smelly as the standard.

Secondly, you need to buy fresh silk in the season, cut and soak it, and mash it into pulp.

Finally, the rotten rice is precipitated, then the clear water on it is poured out, leaving rice slurry, mashed, mixed with silk slurry, and then precipitated, and then the rice slurry is left, which is naturally evaporated and dried in all the water, and the remaining paste is what we need.

The last step is to decide the color of your rouge gouache. Choose the right flowers, which must be bright, open and gorgeous, then mash the juice, pour it into the paste prepared before, and then stir it evenly. This is rouge. When the rouge is slightly dry and can be used directly, you can start using it.
