The makeup of women in the Qin Dynasty was usually orange. Women in the Qin Dynasty like to draw growth eyeliner, which is thicker, so their eyes will look like phoenix eyes. In terms of lip color, women in Qin dynasty preferred crimson.

Due to the limited scientific and technological conditions at that time, women in Qin Dynasty generally ground rice into powder and added some spices to make foundation. Sometimes, lead powder is used as powder cake.

But lead powder will make you look too pale, so women in the Qin Dynasty will add red powder and apply powder to adjust it. However, this makeup is easy to remove, as long as you shed tears, you can remove makeup.

So later rouge used red and blue flowers as pigments, which can solve the problem of easy makeup removal.

In lip makeup, women in Qin dynasty used cinnabar as lipstick. The so-called cinnabar is actually mercury sulfide. It is made by grinding cinnabar into powder, adding animal fat and finally coating it on the lips.

From the eye shape, it is still the beauty of the phoenix eye, and the eyeliner is long and thick.

The makeup of women in the Han Dynasty was generally pink, not only because pink can create a good sense of improvement, but also show women's shy posture.

There are flowers on women's foreheads in Han dynasty, which is also one of the elements of beautiful makeup.

Wearing hair accessories inlaid with gold garnet, coupled with a profound dress, makes people feel dignified and quiet, giving people a unique aesthetic feeling.

Tan lip color was popular in Han dynasty, but upper-class women in Han dynasty still liked orange.

On the base, women in Wei and Jin dynasties still use lead powder to whiten and cover up all ugliness!

As mentioned above, lead powder is too white, and the effect is too horrible. It should be adjusted with rouge. Similarly, women in Wei and Jin dynasties still used rouge with red and blue flowers as pigments to adjust.

In eyebrow painting, women in Wei and Jin dynasties changed a little. The eyebrows they painted were long and wide, showing the unique beauty of women at that time.

At that time, inspired by the Buddha statue, women painted a little yellow on their heads, that is, forehead yellow, while flower yellow was attached to their heads with yellow cardboard or gold foil on the basis of forehead yellow.

In addition, women in Wei and Jin dynasties also need to draw flower buds, which are a kind of decoration on women's faces, with different colors and shapes, mostly red.

The lip makeup in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was a small lip makeup, which is the picture above, which is somewhat similar to the current lip makeup.

In addition to the above makeup, there were two kinds of peculiar makeup in Wei and Jin Dynasties, namely, Xiao Xia makeup and Shouyang plum makeup.

Xiao Xia make up

Xiao Xia's makeup was a famous makeup method in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is said that the favorite maid-in-waiting Xue came in the evening and went to see Wendi one night. Wendi Deng is reading a book under the lamp and has put a screen in front of his desk. Xue came in at night and suddenly bumped into the screen, his cheeks were red and swollen, just like a rosy cloud that was about to disappear. This is the source of Xiao Xia's makeup.

Shouyang luomeizhuang

There is a story about "Shouyang Plum Blossom Makeup". The protagonist of the story is Princess Shouyang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty. Legend has it that she fell asleep under the eaves of the temple on the seventh day of the first month. Because she slept so soundly, the petals of plum blossoms fell on her forehead without being found. After waking up, the princess left five plum blossom marks on her forehead, which could not be erased. The ladies-in-waiting came to see it and began to imitate it. They also gave a nice name "Shouyang Plum Blossom Makeup".

Women in the Tang Dynasty were open and confident, and makeup was also their personality.

Women in the Tang Dynasty still have the habit of drawing yellow forehead, which is shaped like a jujube pit with radioactive lines around it.

For eyebrows, women in the Tang Dynasty also created new tricks.

In the early Tang Dynasty, women liked to paint their eyebrows emerald, and they were long and wide.

In the late Tang Dynasty, women painted black eyebrows, but Cui eyebrows had long since disappeared.

In terms of lip makeup, the Tang Dynasty was more abundant, mainly with cherry mouth.

The above two paragraphs are poems describing the makeup of beautiful women in Tang Dynasty. Tubular lipstick was popular at that time, a bit like lipstick now.

In the Song Dynasty, the initiation was still the same as before.

Rouge changed slightly, and the makeup in Song Dynasty appeared "Fei Xia makeup", "sloppy makeup", "tan halo makeup" and "light makeup".

As for thrush, it is even richer. In Song Dynasty, women generally drew thin eyebrows, but the most popular one was "shallow manjusri eyebrows".

The lip makeup in Song Dynasty is still small and exquisite, and it is painted according to the thickness of lips.

Most of the others are the same. There is a special point in Song Dynasty, that is perfume.

Perfume is mainly rose water and Zhu Luan water, which also shows how much women in Song Dynasty loved beauty.

The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were not Han Chinese, so they probably didn't like it very much.

And the yuan dynasty will be manly. Simple clothes, simple makeup, close to past dynasties or even simpler.

The makeup of women in Ming dynasty is mainly bright and colorful, and the makeup in Ming dynasty is the most in line with modern aesthetics.

In the Ming dynasty, eyebrows will still be painted as phoenix eyes, and they will be curved, thin and long.

In lip makeup, lips will look like petals. Ming dynasty used lip biting makeup, just like modern times.

On the blush, the Ming Dynasty used peach blossom makeup and wine faint makeup, which was very beautiful.

To put it simply, the makeup of the Ming Dynasty is in line with modern aesthetics, that is, it looks good!

I think women's makeup in the Qing Dynasty should be the most incongruous and ugly in modern aesthetics, and the ruler of the Qing Dynasty should not be Han.

The makeup style of Qing Dynasty is simple and elegant, and the most distinctive one is Manchu women's hairstyle-flag head.

It looks like this.

In the lip makeup, the Qing Dynasty was lip makeup with clear lips.

I have to say that the makeup style of Manchu women is a little different from that of our Han nationality!

Just like the figure 1, it feels strange to design.

Finally, let me talk about women's makeup in the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, I emphasized elegant makeup.

Mainly slender eyebrows, elongated eyeliner, and a little European-style shadow painting.

There is also a blush on the face, and finally a full lipstick. It can be seen that the lips painted with lipstick during the Republic of China were lipstick, which was unique in the Republic of China!

Generally speaking, women's makeup is different in different periods, each with its own characteristics. Personally, I think the makeup in Song Dynasty is the most advanced, the makeup in Ming Dynasty is the most beautiful, and the makeup in Qing Dynasty is the ugliest.

My friends, when do you think the makeup looks the best? Which period is the ugliest makeup?
