In ancient times, every girl had her own cosmetics, which is the way for modern women to make up. In ancient times, girls also had their own makeup methods. In ancient times, cosmetics used by people were called "rouge". The following is the practice of ancient rouge gouache.
Method of ancient rouge gouache 1 1, grinding: put pearl powder, red pearlescent mica powder and white pearlescent mica powder into a grinder and grind them into finer powder for later use;
2. Rouge flower liquid: put dried rose, Arnebia euchroma and Luoshen in a sealed container, soak them in olive oil (olive oil can be used without dried flowers), and soak them in the sun for about a week for later use;
3. Dissolve the beeswax: put the beeswax into the developed flower liquid and heat it until it is completely melted;
4. Making rouge: adding a small amount of grinding powder to the melted beeswax for many times, mixing with the grinding powder, and fully grinding;
5. Packaging and compaction: put the fully ground rouge powder into a porcelain box and then manually compact it. The rouge made in this way can be used as both blush and lipstick, but it needs to be used up in a short time ~
The practice of ancient rouge gouache 2 How is ancient rouge gouache made?
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.
The method of ancient rouge gouache 3 1 nail polish solution
Nowadays, urban women have the fashion of "manicure", and ancient women also love "manicure". A Tang poem said: "Ten fingers are slender and bamboo shoots are red, and geese are light on the green strings." The Tang Dynasty girl who played the piano dyed her nails red. So what did the ancients use to dye their nails?
They have a secret nail polish remover. 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. Today, this 70-or 80-year-old woman has also got nails. "You see, even the old people love to dye their nails red.
2. Thrush ink
Women have loved thrush since ancient times. Thrush ink was popular among female thrush in Song Dynasty. Thrush ink is an artificial cosmetic. Gu Tao, a Song Dynasty poet, recorded in Qing Louis that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, women "don't have to brush with indigo naturalis, but use good ink and disguised smoked ink to get their hands on them".
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. "
This thrush ink is a kind of cigarette ink. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen recorded the method of making smoke and ink in "Shilin Guangji": "There are genuine incense oil lamps, and the wick is tightly rubbed. Light the oil lamp in water and cover it with a small utensil to condense the smoke and sweep it down when necessary.
Soak musk deer in less oil three days in advance, pour it into the smoke and mix well. Ink can exceed paint. One-way rotary shearing of sesame oil snuff is particularly preferred. "Interested friends may wish to try DIY a bottle of thrush ink according to this method.
3. Foundation
Make-up needs a foundation first. The foundation used by the ancients was generally lead powder, so later generations simply used "lead China" to refer to the foundation. There was a song in the Song Dynasty called "Tian Jia Yao": "Women in China are not more worried about their families than older women."
It is said that a farmer's second daughter-in-law loves beauty and is busy making up. However, although lead powder can whiten skin, it is toxic after all, so the Song people used gypsum, talc, clam powder, wax grease and shell musk deer to prepare foundation.
People in the Qin Dynasty introduced an ancient method of making foundation from the fruits of Mirabilis jalapa and crane flowers, and copied it here for your DIY: "Take the fruits of Mirabilis jalapa, pick its kernel, steam it and use it, and call it' pearl powder'.
In autumn, white cranes bloom, cut off their pedicels, such as small bottles, and steam them, which is called' Hosta Powder'. Pearl powder is still used in spring, which is easy to dry when covered with west wind, while Hosta powder has no fragrance in winter. "You also try?
4. Rouge
Rouge is also an indispensable cosmetic for women in Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu wrote many beautiful words about rouge, such as "A good man has deeper lips and lighter cheeks"; "Eyebrows are light and cheap, and it is also cheap to take a dressing and apply rouge." The raw material used by the ancients to prepare rouge is red and blue flowers: "The juice of red and blue flowers condenses into swallow fat, which is produced by Yan State, so it is called swallow fat."
Song people also used a plant secretion called "purple rivet" to make rouge: "purple rivet is like sugar coating, and it is tied on twigs, so it is rich and purple, and it is red when it is broken." Few people have fattened cotton and tobacco now. "
Due to the huge demand of female consumers for rouge, merchants who made a living by selling rouge appeared in cities in Song Dynasty, and some rouge shops had developed famous brands. The "Shop Seats" in Dream of Liang Lu recorded a number of "four famous Hangzhou artists", which are similar to today's famous trademarks, including "Yizhoufang Beizhang Ancient Rouge Shop" and "Hongwangshi Rouge Shop".
5. Lipstick
You need a lipstick when you put on makeup. There was also a red mouth in the bride's dowry in the Song Dynasty. A song poem wrote: "When Baoyu wears plain makeup, the face medicine is fragrant and melts the fat." The "oral fat" here is lipstick. We can see from the TV series that in ancient times, the way women applied lipstick was to sip red paper with their lips. Actually, this is the director's nonsense.
The oral fat used by the ancients was generally paste or tube-like lipstick in your cosmetic bag now. The raw material of this oral fat is mainly beeswax, which is dyed with Arnebia euchroma and cinnabar. The oral fat made of small bamboo slips is round and can be used in a jar. In the Song Dynasty, women added spices to their oral fat, so their lip prints remained fragrant.
