中国古代一抿嘴唇就上色的“口红纸”近日竟然火到了国外。不少海外美妆博主被“种草”，在试用后直呼好用：颜色绝美还不易脱妆！

Chinese lipstick paper has recently gained popularity abroad. Several bloggers have showcased their experiences using the product in videos, garnering praise from viewers.

制作口红纸的第一步是做蚕丝纸，选取轻软而富有韧性的蚕茧，剥去表面的绒毛后放在水中蒸煮至松软，便可抽取出需要的蚕丝。

The process of making lipstick paper begins with the production of silk paper. High-quality silk cocoons are selected, and their surface fuzz is removed. The cocoons are then steamed in water until they become soft and pliable for silk extraction.

之后，将一缕缕蚕丝在一个长方形木框反复缠绕，保证其质感的绵密和较好的吸水性。缠绕完成后在上面浇上过滤好的桃胶，自然风干后，就得到了一整篇轻薄而有韧性的蚕丝纸。

Next, strands of silk are meticulously wrapped around a rectangular wooden frame to create a dense texture and ensure good absorbency. Peach gum, after being filtered, is poured over the wrapped silk. Once naturally dried, a thin and resilient sheet of silk paper is formed.

下一步是上色。挤出火龙果里面的汁液，加热蒸煮浓缩至粘稠，涂在竹网上裁好的蚕丝纸片上，风干过后，美丽的古法口红纸就做好了。

For coloring, juice is extracted from pitayas and heated to a thick consistency. This colored mixture is then applied to the silk paper pieces, which have been cut and prepared on a bamboo net. After drying, the beautiful traditional lipstick paper is complete.
