请用英文介绍中国古代妆粉

Ancient Chinese makeup powder was made from various minerals and plants. It was used to enhance the beauty of a woman's face, neck and body. The powder was applied with a brush and often combined with fragrances such as sandalwood, musk or ambergris. It could also be used to protect skin from the sun's rays or windburn. Ancient Chinese women often added flowers, such as rose petals or chrysanthemums, to their makeup powder for decoration.
