Love of beauty and makeup is not the patent of modern people, nor of women. Ancient patents attached great importance to appearance.
Both men and women often spend a long time changing clothes when they go out or meet guests.
"Equality between men and women" is also reflected in ancient makeup tricks. In fact, cosmetics were very popular even among men in ancient China, but they were relatively rare and easy to operate.
The enthusiasm of ancient women for makeup is more serious than that of many sisters who don't eat breakfast today, and so are men.
Men's desire to love beauty was also the highest in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were the golden age of male beauty.
The official wore a golden crown and his hair was black and shiny.
Men in the Ming Dynasty dressed better than women.
So lipstick is the most important part of dressing up.
In fact, in ancient times, not only literate students, but also soldiers who grew up in the sand could not do without opening their mouths.
From princes and ministers to underground people, they are proudly wearing lipstick.
In the Tang Dynasty, men began to use lipstick, and even the emperor used lipstick as a reward.
The emperor gave it to his ministers, but not to anyone who wanted it. Usually, the emperor's close relatives can get it.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Zanhua was also very popular with men. On the contrary, it also symbolizes the upper class. After the imperial examination, the components of black veil and flowers were all on the top of the head, so it was called "Flower-exploring Lang".
