This is the praise of beauty in The Book of Songs.
Everyone has a love of beauty.
Modern beauty, skin care and whitening technologies emerge one after another, from bottles of skin care cosmetics to beauty instruments and medical beauty using science and technology. ......
And how did ancient women make themselves beautiful?
△ Modern imitation makeup (source 50 seconds to see the changes of makeup and clothing of ancient women in China)
The first is skin care.
Ancient women attached great importance to the beauty of skin, mashed natural Gleditsia sinensis and added spices to make "soap balls" for daily cleaning;
Daily skin care will be covered with "Jade Girl peach blossom powder" made of gypsum, talc, mussel powder, wax fat, shell musk deer and motherwort. "It's wonderful to smooth muscles, eliminate scars and stay in the body." (Recorded in "Shilin Guangji")
This is probably the "network celebrity mask" used by girls in the Song Dynasty, which is moisturizing, brightening, anti-aging and keeping young.
In addition to skin care, flexible use of makeup is also a necessary skill for pig girls.
Compared with the amorous feelings of girls in the Tang Dynasty and their love for bright red makeup, girls in the Song Dynasty tend to be fresh, natural and elegant.
Tang Dynasty Maiden vs Song Dynasty Maiden, which one do you choose?
If girls in the Tang Dynasty love dressing up, girls in the Song Dynasty will not give up.
So, in the Song Dynasty, how to be an exquisite pig girl?
Perfect base makeup to create a "beautiful face"
There is no doubt that the "skin as ice and snow" base makeup is the first step to create a perfect makeup.
Whiteness is an important criterion to measure the beauty of women since ancient times. The so-called "woman's essence is the hardest."
There is an idiom called "Wash away the lead". This "lead" is lead powder, which is particularly white when painted, but this heavy metal is toxic, so the favorite foundation for girls in the Song Dynasty is rice flour.
"Powder, Fu Mian also."
High-end fans should be made in Mi Liang. After carefully selecting monochromatic rice with bright white color and pure texture, a smooth and beautiful powder cake can be obtained through a series of processes.
There is also a foundation made of gypsum, talc, clam powder, wax grease and shell musk deer.
Among the makeup powders used by girls in the Song Dynasty, "cinnamon powder" is the most famous, and puff is used as a makeup tool, which is almost the same as modern times.
Girls in the Song Dynasty especially preferred "nude makeup" and generally did not paint themselves particularly white.
Judging from the cultural relics unearthed at present, the makeup of girls in the Song Dynasty is relatively "elegant and clean" as a whole, which can be regarded as "pseudo-plain face".
There is a kind of "all-purpose highlight" that girls in the Song Dynasty like very much, that is, "three white makeup"-the forehead, chin and nose are mainly painted white, which is probably equivalent to brightening the T area:
△ Modern people imitate makeup and can see that the forehead, nose and chin are mainly painted white.
Make eyes at each other, charming and moving
The makeup is finished, it's time to start pulling and inserting.
Eyebrow ink was popular among girls in the Song Dynasty. Eyebrow ink is an artificial cosmetic. Gu Tao in Song Dynasty recorded in Qing Louis that since the end of Tang Dynasty, women "don't have to brush with indigo naturalis, they all simmer with good ink and smoke ink in disguise".
Zhao Yanwei's foothills are full of money clouds also said: "In the previous generation, women wore thrush, so it can be seen in the poem that they all said' the eyebrows are far away from the mountain'. Modern people (that is, Song people) use ink without wearing it. "
Ordinary slum girls also have the right to love beauty. If you can't afford expensive eyebrow ink, you can also learn about some eyebrow pencils that are close to the people, such as cedar charcoal powder and willow branches.

In the Tang Dynasty, girls' eyebrows were more complicated, but in the Song Dynasty, girls preferred slender eyebrows, which made them look very delicate.
In addition to the most common arch eyebrows, the emerald green "green finch wearing" introduced from the western regions is also a popular eyebrow style. Dai, the popular "Far Mountain" in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, is also a retro style that they warmly embraced.
A kind of "dizzy eyebrow" recorded in Luoyang Peony Story is a kind of thick eyebrow; There is also a kind of "eight-character eyebrow", which is very tall and looks particularly cute.
A little face, a girl who becomes energetic every second.
After painting eyebrows, the next step is another makeup focus-rouge.
Ouyang Xiu wrote many colorful words about rouge, such as "be a good person, with darker lips and lighter cheeks"; "Eyebrows are light and cheap, and it is also cheap to take a dressing and apply rouge."
How much does Miss Song love rouge?
Fangcheng has businessmen who sell rouge for a living, and there are also some rouge shops, such as "Embroidered Clothes Shop Beizhang Ancient Rouge Shop" and "Red King Rouge Shop" (recorded in Dream of Liang Lu), which have become big brands and are now the same model among online celebrities.
After applying makeup powder, take rouge and faint it in the palm of your hand, or apply it to your cheeks thick or light. Apply more tonic wine; Just peach blossom makeup.
If you apply a layer of rouge first, and then cover it with white powder, there is also a nice name "Fei Xia Makeup".
"There is a touch of red around the face, and the makeup is not alone."
This kind of makeup is called "light makeup" and "plain makeup", which is characterized by "thin vermilion and reddish face".
What is lighter than "reddish" must be "pink". By the way, there is also a very pink makeup unique to the Song Dynasty, called "Tan Halo Makeup", which is to halo a layer of light red next to the eyebrows to brighten the color of the eyes.
You see, this makeup technique is not as arrogant as it is today, and it is easy to look natural and beautiful!
The most fashionable lip biting makeup in Song Dynasty, let's know about it.
"All girls, all girls, your devil is coming again", if there is anything that can make girls crazy, it must be lipstick!
A song poem wrote: "When Baoyu wears plain makeup, the face medicine is fragrant and melts the fat." Oral fat is lipstick, the most common material is cinnabar or rouge.
We often watch lipstick in costume dramas, so we take out a piece of red paper and take a sip, but in fact, the oral fat they use is usually paste or tubular, and then apply it with a small brush.
Is there more strange knowledge?
Girls in Song Dynasty were fond of red lips and were keen to create various methods of changing lips. There is a description of "leaning against the jade fence without words and touching the lips" in Song Ci.
At that time, it was also popular to use sandalwood color to touch lips, and sandalwood color was light crimson. Qin Guan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, sang in Nan Ge Zi: "Rub your blue skirt and apricot skirt, lean on the jade fence alone and touch your lips without words."
It is said that fashion is samsara, and people in Song Dynasty regard small mouth as beauty, so lipstick will not be full, which is probably the "lip biting makeup" at that time.
Sometimes only the lower lip is painted, or even only the lower lip lip bead is painted. The word "Shi Ling" by Zhang Xian in the Northern Song Dynasty mentioned: "Little lips are smaller than pearls."
The "cherry lips" and cherry mouth that are often seen in the pen should refer to this kind of lip makeup.
Put on sequins and I'll be in the right C position.
Throughout the Tang and Five Dynasties, all kinds of figurines with painted faces were painted and pasted on their faces. Although it was still used in the Song Dynasty, its popularity declined, and it was especially preserved in the most solemn dress of the queen, becoming pearls and green flowers.
In the TV series "Qingpingle", ladies-in-waiting are decorated with pearls in the original positions of their faces, goose yellow and oblique red:
This kind of "jade ytterbium" is made of pearls and jade treasures, which are mostly worn by ladies-in-waiting.
Did it disappear after facial makeup? No, no, no hair!
There are many kinds of steamed buns eaten by girls in Song Dynasty, including Tongxin steamed buns, Chaotian steamed buns, banana steamed buns, dish steamed buns, steamed buns and flower steamed buns. Among them, high bun is the most popular.
A tall bun makes people look tall and slender, and at the same time likes the hair on their foreheads: (The bald girl accidentally got a clever way to hide the hairline. jpg)
Hairpin, hairpin and other ornaments are indispensable on the bun, but they are not as exaggerated as in the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, in the Song Dynasty, both men and women especially loved the hairpin flowers on their heads, so there were not only beautiful women but also beautiful teenagers in the Song Dynasty!
"Explosive" perfume, which girl doesn't want it?
"Beauty Xiao mirror jade dresser, fairy palm bearing to fu powder cheek. The glass bottle has a clear shadow, and the smell is not to be sealed with wax. "It's about the perfume used by girls in the Song Dynasty.
△ This pink-green glazed paper hammer bottle of Imperial Kiln Museum in Southern Song Dynasty may be a perfume bottle for girls in Song Dynasty.
In a girl's boudoir, an incense burner is almost a necessity. Besides burning incense, I also like to wear sachets, and even I have to put incense balls in the car.
At that time, the most sought after perfume was the "explosive" imported perfume of Da Shi-"Rose Water".
Cai Tai talked about the advantages of imported rose water in Tiewei Mountain Talk: "The exotic wild rose is very fragrant and strong, so although the rose water in the big food country is stored in a glass jar and sealed with wax, it is still fragrant for dozens of steps and will not rest for ten days."
It is estimated that this "rose water" should be the taste of Damascus roses, and its distillation and extraction technology was slowly introduced to China, which had a great influence on the later "flower dew".
In addition to perfume, girls in the Song Dynasty also liked manicure.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, a well-thought-out book titled "Return to Faith and Miscellaneous Knowledge" introduced a manicure method: "Impatiens are mashed with leaves and added with a little alum. Wash your nails first, then put them on and wrap them in silk for the night. The initial dyeing is light, and it is dyed three or five times in a row. If the color is rouge, it can't be washed off, but it can be gradually removed after ten days until the nails are removed. Or the cloud is also the law of guarding the palace, no. Now the old lady in her seventies and eighties is also dyed. "
Up to now, many people like to dye their nails with impatiens. The so-called "ten fingers are slender, jade shoots are red, and geese are too light and blue strings."
But in the Song Dynasty (365,438+09), aesthetics was constantly changing. For example, in the early Northern Song Dynasty, it partially inherited the legacy of the Tang and Five Dynasties. After applying makeup powder, apply rouge to a large area on both cheeks.
Lip color is also gorgeous, mostly scarlet, sandalwood, vermilion, scarlet and so on.
After the Southern Song Dynasty, the overall makeup style became more and more slender and restrained, preferring elegant and white "white makeup".
I hardly wear rouge on my face, my lips are light and my eyebrows are thin.
In addition to "white makeup", there is also a special "tear makeup", which is painted white at the bottom of the corner of the eye, meaning that modern girls are lying in high-gloss silkworms.
In fact, the girls in the Song Dynasty are far more exquisite than we thought.
The girl's cosmetic box is called "cosmetic box", which contains combs, grates, cosmetic mirrors, white porcelain cosmetic boxes and cosmetics.
Bronze mirrors, combs, grates, flower buds, hair clips, eyebrow trimmers and small scissors for manicure are also essential.
Fan Chengda has a song "Kuizhou Zhi Zhu Song", which reads: "The bald old man wears red flowers, and the black-headed woman wears three buns. Sleep on your back and go up the hill. Mulberry picking has been idle for picking tea. " All ages love beauty!
It is said that women are to please themselves, but in fact, makeup is more to please themselves!
