Thrush is the most commonly used makeup method for women. When you make up, you should thrush. As a result, in China's traditional poems, thrush is regarded as a synonym for beauty, such as "the eyebrows in the sixth palace make you feel sad when you smell the fragrance" and "the powder and paint in the sixth palace fade into nothingness". Nowadays, beauty is also called "beautiful girl" in online vocabulary.
Women love beauty, and since ancient times, women have known about beauty. Women make up, in addition to making themselves more beautiful, in order to please men who like themselves, the so-called "women are pleasing to themselves."
In order to be beautiful and make the man she loves happy, a woman can be desperate, even at the expense of health and even life. Life is precious, so is health. If it is beautiful, both can be thrown away. No matter ancient or modern, there are many women who risk their lives for beauty.
Cleopatra, the famous Cleopatra, especially likes to use heavy eye shadow, but it contains lead powder, which will seriously damage her health.
During the Roman Empire, women also generally used lead powder to make their faces more delicate and fair.
/kloc-in the 0 th and 6 th centuries, British nobles also used lead powder for beauty. Queen Elizabeth I was pockmarked with smallpox. In order to please her handsome lover robert dudley, she used "Venetian lead white" to cover up her smallpox scar. This is a mixture of lead powder and vinegar. Although it can make women's skin look bright and clean, it will lead to skin fading, hair loss and tooth loss if used too much.
/kloc-at the end of 0/9, a "skin-beautifying CD" was popular in the United States. The manufacturer claims that people can get rid of freckles, acne and other spots that affect beauty after eating this CD. In fact, the formula of this cosmetic is not mysterious, and the product manual clearly indicates that it contains a highly toxic substance-arsenic. Women know it's poisonous, but they still flock to it. They were really beautiful when they died!
In order to make lipstick more colorful, ancient western women did not hesitate to add lead and mercury to it. This lipstick is like poison. This lipstick is undoubtedly the kiss of death. However, Cleopatra and the ladies of Rome accepted it gladly. In their view, it is natural to exchange life and health for beauty.
Before the invention of antibiotics, lung disease was an incurable disease. Patients with lung disease looked pale, but in the afternoon, patients' faces would turn red. Ancient European women were fascinated by this morbid beauty. European aristocrats at that time were all pale and emaciated. Margaret, the heroine in La Traviata, suffers from tuberculosis. She won't get treatment after knowing that she is ill, because tuberculosis can make her "pale to the highest degree". Some women are willing to let themselves suffer from lung disease in exchange for the short-lived "extreme beauty" before the end of their lives. They put on French tights and wrapped their chests and waists tightly. Although this shapes a slender waist curve, it makes breathing very difficult and easy to get lung disease.
The courage of ancient western women to pursue beauty can make the bravest knight sigh.
Compared with the spirit that western women prefer to exchange their lives for beauty, China women are not too ambitious in their pursuit of beauty. They endured great pain and stood still in order to get the graceful posture of "moving with lotus steps" when walking.
Women in China are fair and beautiful. Li Yu, a romantic genius, said: "The reason why women are charming is, after all, color is the main factor", which means that women's charming manners are ultimately based on skin color; There is a saying in The Analects that "I always thought it was gorgeous", which means that beautiful and gorgeous paintings can only be painted on white paper, which shows how important it is to have white skin. In order to whiten the skin, women can only see people by applying lead powder on their faces on weekdays. Therefore, in ancient China, this state of simplicity and natural lack of decoration was called "clean lead China". However, lead, a heavy metal, is very harmful to health and will be fatal if used for a long time. In ancient China, the women of wealthy families did not worry about food and clothing, but they often lived forever. Although it is related to the long-term inactivity of boudoir, it is also related to the long-term use of lead cosmetics.
It is a natural attribute for a woman to love beauty like a flower, but there is no need to work so hard. Everyone looks different, which is a gift from heaven. Make-up can add icing on the cake to people with outstanding looks, and it can also make ordinary people make up for their own shortcomings. However, no matter how you dress up, it is impossible to change your bones. If you push too hard, you will be self-defeating Ber Ber Weng has read countless women in his life and studied women thoroughly. In his book "Casual Love", there are many discussions about the beauty of women. He said that women can turn white again. "Adding white to black is to show its black." It can be seen that makeup often makes the beautiful more beautiful but makes the ugly uglier. Because people's appearance temperament comes from innate endowment and acquired living and growing environment, it can't be shaped by makeup or imitated by behavior; He also believes that the charm of women lies not in makeup and clothing, but from the inside out. Such people are "a kind of rich weather, clothes and shoes can jump out", even "dirty clothes" are extraordinary. In Li Yu's eyes, the beauty of a woman lies not in her delicate makeup, but in her posture. "As long as a woman is spoiled and looks at three or four points, she can reach six or seven points." A plain-looking woman, if charming, will immediately become charming. Moreover, this coquetry is deeply rooted and cannot be imitated, otherwise it will be "effective". People often accuse coquettish women of being foxes. In fact, the fox's clever, cunning and slim appearance is the best metaphor for the beauty of women. Who doesn't like this fairy woman? So foxes are charming on the other hand. In a word, beauty is internal, not external. As the saying goes, "beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin", otherwise it is futile to seek beauty with your life.
If a woman pays a huge price on makeup to please a man, even at the expense of health, it is the most worthless. It should be noted that "anyone who cares about colored people, loves to relax, loves to relax." Dong Xiaowan took care of him day and night for more than 60 days, when it was midsummer. She didn't wipe the sweat or repel mosquitoes, and her smile was sallow and skinny. How can she make up? But how can you not like her, whether you venture across the border or a person who risks his family?
It is natural for women to love beauty, and thrush is also a matter of course. Being a woman without makeup is tantamount to wasting things. In ancient times, even women in very poor families had to fold a wild flower and put it in their hair. According to Li Yu, "he can be thrifty, but this thing can't be thrifty." However, he particularly emphasized that makeup must be "expensive and adaptable", that is, it varies from person to person and conforms to nature. However, Li Yu never thought that plastic surgery was predestined, and many women died by the knife of quacks because they wanted to be reborn. I don't know how he would feel if he knew.
