First,元宵 is made by flour.Then you should know about the 元宵 will be wet if you set it longtime ,so we must use a lot flour around the 元宵 ,just keep it dry .The sentence means we need many flour to keep 元宵 dry ,it necessary ,but makeup use much power look unnatural ,that means he likes a light makeup.I'm studying English ,so I can't describe accurately.
