Before the appearance of tubular lipstick, oral fat was actually common with rouge, which was put in a small box or jar and directly dipped with your fingers. In the past, most lipsticks were bright cinnabar color, sandalwood color was popular in Tang and Song Dynasties, and now it is flesh color and nude color. This color of oral fat is still popular until modern times.
This kind of red lip grease is packed in a small box, which can be carried by women. It is very cheap to make when makeup is needed. The ancient people used this makeup to make the upper lip red. The specific method was to dig a little bit of mouth fat with the fingertips and directly "point", "note" and "evenly" the lips.
Extended data:
In ancient China, lipstick was made very finely. In The Book of Qi Yao Min, Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty recorded the production process at that time, that is, first making fragrant wine, using clove and agastache as spices, picking the first-class fresh cotton without impurities, and then putting it into the wine that was burned to a slight temperature in advance, and absorbing the fragrance of spices in cotton with hot wine.
The absorption time is 1 day/night in summer, two days and two nights in spring and autumn, and three days and three nights in winter. After the soaking period expires, take out cotton and spices, put butter or pith into mellow wine, heat it with strong fire, and add butter at a time.
After rolling a few times, turn off the fire and fry slightly. At this time, slowly mix the red pigment with cinnabar, and mix it with green oil, and stir evenly. Waiting for natural cooling after flameout, the condensed red grease is delicate and bright, which is a favorite lip ornament for women. ?
