What are the earliest cosmetics in ancient China?

According to records, as early as 2000 BC, some people in ancient Rome painted their faces with colored clay and powder as eye shadow, and also painted their eyebrows and eyelids with black toner.

In ancient China, there were also women who used the color extracted from safflower to make rouge, or painted lips and blush with red paper. After drinking, they could color their lips. There is also the face with powder. Flour is generally made by grinding grain into flour and adding talcum powder. After production, the color is white and the powder is fine, which should have the effects of whitening, concealing and filling pores. The advanced ones will also add spices, which is similar to the current perfume. In addition, there are ways to apply aloe vera to the face as a skin care product, which has a moisturizing effect.
