What kinds of makeup do you have?

Girls' makeup: The characteristics of girls' makeup should be natural, giving people a feeling of youth without affectation. Because girls' skin is delicate, delicate, elastic and shiny, it is necessary to highlight cheeks and lips when making up, and it is not advisable to stroke eyebrows, apply eye shadow or apply exaggerated foundation. Technically, be light and natural, as if there is nothing, and avoid heavy makeup, but lose natural beauty.

Workplace makeup: The purpose of workplace makeup is to make you look capable and not lack of affinity. Rough lines will make you look sleepy and lifeless, while over-rendered makeup will make people pay too much attention to your appearance and ignore your own work ability.

Makeup for pregnant women: In the early stage of pregnancy, the skin is relatively dry, so you can choose oily foundation. In the late pregnancy, when the oil secretion increases and the skin is greasy, it is necessary to use hydrophilic foundation. But no matter what kind of foundation you use, including using freckle cream to cover spots, you should not apply it too thick. Because the skin is fragile and sensitive at this time, too much cosmetics is undoubtedly a bad stimulus to it, so it should be clean and soft, which not only modifies the face, but also does not irritate the skin.

Since ancient times, people have paid great attention to make-up in order to protect their bodies or decorate their instruments. In primitive times, people used to smear animal fat, oil, soil and loess on their skin to keep out the cold, prevent heatstroke and prevent insect bites.

At that time, human beings lived in vast virgin forests. In order to prevent endemic diseases, they are also keen to engage in superstitious spells to drive away evil spirits. Whenever people hold a ceremony, they have to make up their eyes and face, which is very inconvenient.

In ancient Egypt, in order to prevent heat and dry skin, people often applied sesame oil and oily ointment to their skin. In addition, the ancient Egyptians also liked eye makeup, that is, painting green, black or blue pigments on the upper and lower eyelids. It is said that this is to prevent trachoma, flies (there is a kind of flies that can fly into the eyes to lay eggs in ancient tropics) and flying insects from invading, and also to keep out the scorching sun and disinfect.

Therefore, when preparing this kind of coated cosmetics, blue-green malachite powder with bactericidal effect is mixed. Later, people began to pay attention to the color of this kind of cosmetics, especially liked the paint made of light black manganese dioxide, and even chose green resin to repel mosquitoes.
