The Beauty Blogger Chapter 25: On the importance of contouring highlights
Si Yan led Min to sit down in front of a dressing table, and began to apply makeup for her without saying a word.
She chose the dior nectar powder foundation without hesitation, and used her favorite happy face powder as the setting powder. Seeing that the clothes prepared for Min were light pink, she chose the light pink s09 of the shell monochromatic eyeshadow, paired with the light gold of Kate's backbone eyeshadow br-5, and used Clinique Chrysanthemum No. 12 for the blush.
Soon to be the step of grooming, Si Yan secretly took a deep breath and picked up the pen.
Min's face shape is very good, a little modification can be done to highlight the outline, but the nose is a bit sunken.
When drawing the shadow of the nose, Si Yan tightened her hand holding the pen, and tried her best to calmly say: "Miss, try not to move."
She has never used cosmetics or makeup techniques to harm anyone, but Min's approach made her eager to tell her that she is the one who is fully capable of being the one who does it without anyone noticing it. If someone disgusts her and challenges her bottom line, she can block her back with technology without any effort.
Hehe, little girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know that in the society, the moral is higher than the devil. Make a long note, don't play around like this in the future!
As Si Yan calmed down, she put down the contouring brush, and traced carefully, from the brow to the tip of the nose.
Then take the sponge and slowly push it away for her to achieve a natural-looking effect, and then use the other end to highlight the bridge of the nose.
After the painting was finished, she held Min's chin and looked at it carefully, and then asked Min to look in the mirror: "Miss, take a look, can it work?"
It was already afternoon at that time, the sunlight slanting in from the window on one side sprinkled on Min's face, making her makeup soft and dignified.
"Very good." Min raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, and with a bit of threat, told her again, "Yu, please take care of the lady Shi."
Si Yan lowered her eyes and said nothing, she bowed her body, and respectfully sent the arrogant Min family away from the Shangyi Bureau.
After the figure left, Si Yan smiled slyly: Ha ha!
Then she decided to rest. One advantage of this task is that she is the leader in the task, and she can lead the overall situation by herself, and the specific work can be assigned to the subordinates.
As for Min's confession that Yu was allergic, she naturally didn't explain it. She also plans to go to the scene to observe in person in a while, and help the noble ladies touch up their makeup. By the way, if the Min family wants to do something harmful again, she, an insider, can't just keep silent and just sit idly by!
In many cases, keeping silent is equivalent to being an accomplice.
.
An hour later, everyone arrived at the Imperial Garden one after another.
Several concubines who were present sat beside the stone table and in the gazebo, while the noble ladies chatted and talked in small groups. Si Yan looked around and felt that this was really a youthful and beautiful landscape, but if she took a closer look...
There are only two types of clothing for everyone, and the makeup is similar. After looking at it for a long time, I feel a little face blind. =_=
It's obviously not easy to find someone like this, but fortunately, when she was assigning makeup tasks to the maids, she let Juzi go with Min's. If Min's has any bad behavior, Juzi will immediately come to tell her.
On the west side of the imperial garden, Ju Zi and the other two court ladies waited quietly, raising their eyes from time to time to glance at the chatting people under Jasmine.
Si Yan asked her to stare at Min Shi. She didn't understand why, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Min Shi's face seemed a little... weird?
However, Mrs. Min is really a bitter and mean person. Ju Zi listened from a distance, and she mocked all the other noble girls in a shrill voice.
"Hey, sister Zhou, why do you have spots on your face?"
"Hey, sister Xia, why are you so dark? Sunburned?"
"Oh, miss Xi, you can't do this eye makeup like this. You can't even see your inner eyes with this eyeliner!"
...How can there be such an unpopular person!
Juzi who was listening on the side wanted to roll their eyes, and the three noble girls forced a smile and squinted at her.
A moment later, the palace people brought needles and thread and other things, and all the girls threaded needles together to beg for skill. There are some rewards for those who win, and more importantly, the concubines will definitely remember this ingenious girl, paving the way for their own future.
For a while, the entire Imperial Garden fell silent, and everyone held their breaths and carefully fiddled with the things in their hands, for fear of losing to others.
The voice coming from afar is particularly clear.
"Hey Brother Seven, come quickly! What do you think you are hiding? My brother and I already have a crush. It's inappropriate that you don't have one! Come and see!" A voice urged, with a hint of ridicule.
The other voice was clearly angry: "Don't make trouble! The girl's house celebrates the Girl's Day, is it appropriate for us to go there now?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about this! You just say you're going to greet your mother!" Qi Guan dragged Qi Guanyi to death.
Qi Guanyi was about to go crazy, he mustered all his energy, thinking about throwing Jiudi away for a while, and then ran away by himself. But as soon as he earned it, an eunuch's voice rang in his ears: "Hey, the two highnesses are coming to visit? It just so happens that the queen and the imperial concubine are here, please come inside."
Qi Guanyi: "..."
He ground his teeth and wanted to strangle this blind **** to death.
The two brothers glared at each other proudly and with ashen faces, then had to straighten out their clothes and walked leisurely in the garden.
Si Yan was separated by a long distance, and when she saw the two of them, she laughed and shouted in her heart: fans! let's go!
"Cousin!" Mrs. Min quickly walked out from under the jasmine flowers, but didn't look at Qi Guanbao much, and went straight to Qi Guanyi with a blessing: "Your Highness Seventh..."
Qi Guanyi frowned: "This is..."
"Oh, this is my cousin." Qi Guanbao introduced casually, his eyes paused on Min's face for a moment but he was startled, then he laughed unabashedly, "Hahahaha!!!"
Si Yan gasped.
She knew what Qi Guanbao saw, and she just wanted to say that you shouldn't react so loudly! Can you shut up!
She firmly believes that this kind of makeup flaw is something that everyone won't tell face to face because of the face! It's not fun to say it straight out!
Still causing trouble!
The Min family covered their faces in panic: "What's wrong? What's your cousin laughing at?"
"Hahahahaha your face!" Qi Guanbao laughed so that everyone around him looked over, "Have you been hit by someone? Why is your nose crooked? And your face... is crooked too?"
There were "puchi" smiles from all around, it can be seen that Qi Guanbao was not the only one who saw this.
Min Min was dumbfounded, Si Yan stared at them in the half-dark sky, and said in her heart, "Don't look for me, don't look for me, don't look for me"...
"Si Yan!" The Min family became furious for a moment. She looked around and couldn't find anyone, so she picked up a nearby court lady, "Where's the female history of your Shanggong Bureau!"
Juzi was so frightened that her breath stopped, she paused for a moment and insisted: "I don't know... I don't know!"
"Then you go find her!" Mrs. Min pushed the orange hard, turned around to look, and ran to the imperial concubine sitting in the pavilion with aggrievedness, crying, "Cousin...! You have to do it for me." I am the master!"
The imperial concubine looked at her with some embarrassment, and the empress swept the imperial concubine away with a smile on her face.
"That Si Yan must be trying to trick me! Cousin, you treat her so well..."
"Hey." The queen sneered, "What I'm talking about is that Miss Si is someone you value highly, the concubine sister, why are you making trouble with your own people?"
As she spoke, she shook the round fan, with a look of "I am watching a good show" on her face: "Is there some misunderstanding?"
Si Yan, who had already been taken to the gazebo, was terrified, thinking quickly about how to explain it.
The reason Min opened her mouth was to make Yu allergic. She felt that Min was too poisonous, so she wanted to teach Min a lesson, so she made her face and nose "crooked".
—Of course it's not really crooked, otherwise she and the Min family would have become friends.
She just used her makeup skills flexibly. When applying the nose shadow, she applied it higher on one side and lower on the other. .
At that time, the sun was slanting, and the side of the dressing table she chose for Min was near the window. When facing the dressing table, the light was naturally uneven, so Min couldn't see it when he looked in the mirror.
But others can see it.
Si Yan's original calculation was that after Min's return home, she would slowly hear about it from other people, so it would be useless for her to be angry, and she couldn't come back immediately to settle the score with her. Stay calm... She will understand that what she did to Mrs. Yu was also very wicked.
In addition, you will also understand the hard truth of "don't offend the makeup artist"! 【cross out】
Never expected that a Qi Guanbao would appear on the way! Now we have to head to head!
Si Yan walked into the pavilion, Qi Guanyi and Qi Guanbao had also arrived. She was blessed, so she could only pretend to be innocent to Min: "Miss Min, what are you talking about?"
"I annoyed you, so you bullied me in makeup, didn't you?" Min's tear-filled eyelashes were quite pitiful, but he was quite different from his usual domineering appearance.
Si Yan, who didn't think about it for a while, continued to pretend to be innocent, and said: "Ah...?"
"What are you pretending to be!" Mrs. Min twisted her arm, and forced her to be in front of the imperial concubine, "Are you still pretending to be stupid in front of the imperial concubine? Tell me clearly!"
"Let go of her!" Qi Guan Baoduo stepped forward, and unceremoniously pushed Min Shi, "Si Yan is not someone who would bully others casually! You must have provoked her first!"
"..." Si Yan rubbed her wrist while pulling him, "His Royal Highness...!"
She was too afraid that Qi Guan would cause other troubles with his mouth.
However, it was a step too late, and Mrs. Min was already crying: "Cousin, you also help her bully me? Why are you doing this!"
Qi Guanbao is not to be outdone: "You are used to bullying honest people! If I hadn't been for your cousin, I would have beaten you a long time ago!"
Hey...
Si Yan gasped.
"All right, all right." The queen said appropriately, with a smile on her face, she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Min and then at Si Yan, and finally, her eyes fell on the imperial concubine, "Sister imperial concubine, what should I do? It’s a good Qixi Festival, it’s so unpleasant, it’s not good to hear it in the ears of His Majesty.”
In other words, the empress asked the concubine to be held accountable.
To be more straightforward, at least one of the Min family and Si Yan will be punished.
Si Yan's heart skipped a beat, she looked nervously at the imperial concubine, and secretly prayed that she would have a golden finger as a player.
"I don't think Si Yan is to blame for this!" Qi Guanbao stared at Min Shi, argued forcefully, and then shook Si Yan's arm, "There must be some reason! Just say it!"
