About Yanzhi Barra de llavis

Yanzhi és una barra de llavis inspirada en els papers de coloret utilitzats a la Xina antiga. El disseny retorna una forma cosmètica clàssica a la vida quotidiana moderna. Una pressió suau a la part inferior de l'estoig fa que el paper amb color surti cap enfora. L'usuari pressiona els llavis sobre el paper per aplicar el color, i el paper es retira mitjançant una petita llengüeta. L'estoig està fet de plàstic PP, un material adequat per al contacte directe amb cosmètics i aliments, mentre que la part de la barra de llavis està feta de paper impermeable i resistent a l'estrip. El cos prim i pla s'adapta fàcilment a una cartera.

Research: According to the survey, consumers like to choose the type of lipstick according to the occasion and clothing. In addition, consumers tend to choose a lipstick price of less than 200 yuan. The market size will be close to 28 billion euros in 2025. There is a huge market demand for beautiful, unique, and inexpensive lipsticks.
Inspiration: I got my inspiration from ancient Chinese lipstick. Yanzhi is the lipstick of ancient China. It has a very unusual way of making up. Women only need to sip it to make up. Our motivation is to make this ancient product more suitable for use in modern life.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: To use it, first place your hand on the bottom of Yanzhi. Then gently push up to push the lipstick out. Then the lady takes a sip of Yanzhi's lipstick paper and finishes the makeup easily. Finally, after the makeup is done, Yanzhi is pulled back by the dot at the bottom.
