中世纪晚期,镜子的流行有力地推动了面部化妆品的生产和利用。镜子使妇女们第一次近距离地看到脸上可怕的太阳斑和雀斑。为了掩盖这些缺陷,妇女们开始在脸上涂脂抹粉。而起初的化妆方法或许奇特,比如用驴奶洗澡,用野猪脑子、鳄鱼腺及狼血制成化妆水涂脸等等,但成分无害。 The late Middle Ages, the popularity of the mirror effectively promote the production and use of facial cosmetics. The mirror enabled the women to see the horrible sun spots and freckles on their faces for the first time. To cover up these shortcomings, women began to apply liposuction to their faces. The initial makeup method may be peculiar, such as bathing with donkey milk, with wild boar brain, alligator glands and wolf blood made of painted face and so on, but the composition is harmless.
