The earliest powder was either liquid, paste, or powder. It was a collective name for facial fat and lip balm. In addition, it was often used as a paint for paintings. It was originally taken from a species called red and blue flowers.
When making rouge, the yellow color of the plant is removed, leaving the required color. It is held in a stone bowl and crushed. It is often made into a paste, which looks like fat. However, "rouge" originally means red dye, so there is rouge.
The name gradually evolved in later generations, and may include hollyhock, crimson black bean skin, pomegranate, mountain flower, Su Fangmu, etc., used for makeup.
According to Xiaogu, facial oil is not only a powder used for makeup, but also has the effect of nourishing and whitening the skin. The most famous Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder is like this. It seems to be combined with motherwort and other herbs to brighten the skin.
Youth stays forever.
Mouth lipstick can also be colorless, but there are more colors. "The eyebrows are like moths, and the red lips are as red as red." There are such things as tankou, red lips, red lips, crimson lips, and hey lips. Pay attention to etiquette and etiquette. Different colors correspond to different
Identity, age and occasion.
The most common high-quality rouge is to collect rose petals from the Western Regions, use a clean stone mortar to slowly pound the petals into a thick paste, filter it with fine gauze to extract the juice, and then cut the newly reeled silk into the size of the mouth of the rouge vat, and put it in
Soak it in the flower juice, wait until it is completely soaked, take it out and dry it in the sun. This is the best rouge, squeeze out the juice, wash out the residue, mix it with flower dew, and steam it. The process is very complicated.
There are also other methods. For example, Xiao Gu said a way to kill flowers: pick them, pound them with a tiller until cooked, wash them with water, wring them with a cloth bag to remove the yellow juice, pound them more, use corn slurry to clear and vinegar, and use a cloth bag to wash them out.
Collect the juice and dye it red, but don't throw it away. Put it in an urn and cover it with a cloth. When the rooster crows, pound the chestnuts and sprinkle them evenly. Spread them out on the table and let them dry in the sun. They are better than making cakes. Those who make cakes must not dry them.
The flowers are lush. There is also a kind of pre-burning truncatula and mugwort to make ash-free ones. Use the soup to get the clear juice and rub the flowers ten times. When the flowers are gone, they will grow. Then twist the pure juice in a cloth bag and put it in an urn. Take two vinegar pomegranates.
Made from three combinations.
There are also explanations for applying powder. Apply powder to the face, then use the swallow branch to dizzy the palms, and apply it to the cheeks. The thicker one is a wine halo makeup, the lighter one is a peach blossom makeup; a thin layer of vermillion is applied, and the powder is used to cover it, which is Feixia
makeup.
There are ancient words:
Light thunder faintly awakens the first stings. The first awakening stings. The doves cry angrily, and the green poplars grow strong in the wind.
The smoke from the jade furnace is heavy and fragrant. The wall is thick with apricots and swallow branches. The swallow branches are wet. Where the flowers are missing, there are people standing in the painting.
The Yan branch here is Rouge.
In addition to the rouge gouache itself, another business has been spawned, that is, the small but exquisite box in the hands of girls to store rouge gouache. The earliest rouge box, or rouge button, was used to store it.
Inside the bamboo tube, it gradually becomes a copper rouge button, a jade rouge button, etc. They are either cast or carved with different utensils and polished into the shape of a bamboo tube. The object remains the same, but the appearance is much better. There is also a shape like
The shells are usually polished with jade, and there are also ring-shaped heart-piercing boxes, which not only hold the rouge, but are divided into grids of different sizes inside. In addition to the rouge, they can also hold the jewelry of the girl and the lady, which is quite popular with the lady.
Li Luo was amazed after hearing this. They all said that women love beauty. Such love for beauty is achieved by risking their lives. The complicated skills are no simpler than fighting on the battlefield. It was only during the Taiping Period that such abnormal and prosperous businesses existed.
In troubled times, when people don't even have enough to eat, no one cares about what they have to put on their faces. Li Luo felt that it was better to overeat them and hold them back.
It was rare for Xiao Gu to have such a loyal and patient listener. He spoke very enthusiastically, blending what he knew with what he just made up. He spoke so eloquently and so happily that he didn't even know Mu Qingci had entered the courtyard.
Mu Qingci didn't listen to Xiaogu's boastful talk and put down the wine jar in her arms after entering. The Yin Qi in Yingxiu City was too strong, and the smell of powder filled the city. Even the men in the city became feminine and lacked masculinity.
She was very unhappy. There was no one to drink with her on weekdays. Another restaurant in the east of the city had closed down. If this continued, sooner or later there would be no place to sell alcohol.
This was probably the main reason why she and Xiaogu rescued Li Luo that night. It was rare to see a person in Yingxiu City who got drunk and fell into the river.
The carved wooden knife was placed next to a bamboo basket. Mu Qingci was very bored, so he picked up the wooden knife and looked at it. It felt a little heavy in the hand. The blade was narrower and longer than the swords used by the policemen in the city. The spine of the knife was
It has a slight curvature, which is quite comfortable to hold in the palm of the hand, which suits her. The man also carved a pattern on the handle of the knife, which seemed to be a snake-shaped pattern. It was only a few strokes, but it was quite expressive. She only glanced at it.
, my mind was in a trance for a moment.
"Miss, you're back." Xiaogu called out, but Mu Qingci didn't hear it, so he called out again, but there was still no response, and he was still looking at the wooden knife. Xiaogu pursed his lips and snickered, and he was still stubborn before going out.
At this moment, she was holding the wooden knife and couldn't put it down. A woman's heart is as fickle as a needle on the seabed. Of course, when she muttered, she consciously abandoned herself to the fickleness.
"Miss!" Xiao Gu took a sharp breath and roared, scaring Mu Qingci so much that the hairs on his hair stood on end. He cursed, "You're calling a ghost, you're scared to death!"
Xiaogu chuckled, knowing that Mu Qingci was moody, so he stopped irritating her, and turned over the remaining spices with Li Luo. Mu Qingci was in a daze, and after a while, she suddenly stood up, holding a wooden knife and walked over to
The people beside Li Luo were staring at him. Li Luo touched the tip of his nose, glanced at Xiaogu first, and then turned his gaze to Mu Qingci's face, "Miss Mu, can you give me some advice?"
"What do you know? I mean martial arts."
"I know a thing or two about external weapons. I'm best at swordsmanship, but I can also count on spear skills. I'm a bit worse at swordsmanship. In addition, I have a little bit of Qinggong and internal skills. I'm good at palm skills, but I don't know how to kick."
"What is the best thing for me to learn?" Mu Qingci asked truncately.
Li Luo pondered for a long time and replied harmoniously: "If you can endure the loneliness, naturally you should first practice the art of breathing, breathing and breathing. If you have some success, you can study the body and footwork that uses skill as the length, followed by the sword."
, Longer weapons are more powerful, but they may not be suitable for women to practice. Close fisting and kicking are not as easy as swords. Women are weak, so it is best to use external force." After finishing speaking, Li Luo paused and suddenly thought of Cangyang Jiahe, her lower limbs.
With her meridians blocked, she shouldn't be able to practice advanced internal skills, but her hidden weapon light skills are ridiculously strong. However, this kind of skills requires talent, and someone like Mu Qingci may not be suitable.
Mu Qingci glanced at Li Luo and said, "What else?"
"there is none left"
"Do you think I have no talent and can't practice?"
Li Luo was startled, stunned for a moment, and replied bluntly: "That's right, and I can't teach you either."
