About Yanzhi Šminka

Yanzhi je šminka, navdihnjena z rdečimi papirčki za ličenje, uporabljanimi v starodavni Kitajski. Zasnova vrača klasično kozmetično obliko v sodobno vsakdanje življenje. Nežen pritisk na dno ohišja premakne papir za šminko navzven. Uporabnik nato pritisne ustnice na papir, da nanese barvo, nato pa se papir s pomočjo majhnega jezička povleče nazaj. Ohišje je izdelano iz PP plastike, materiala primernega za neposreden stik s kozmetiko in hrano, del s šminko pa je izdelan iz vodoodpornega, raztrganju odpornega papirja. Tanko, ploščato telo se zlahka prilega v denarnico.

Design Challenge
This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
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.
