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 to her without saying a word.
She chose the Dior nectar powder cream without hesitation, and the setting powder also used her favorite Elegance Extreme Powder. Seeing that the clothes for Min were light pink, she chose the pale pink No. S09 of the Elegance shell monochrome eyeshadow, the light gold of the KATE backbone eyeshadow BR-5, and the blush of Clinique Chrysanthemum No. 12.
Soon it was the step of contouring, Si Yan secretly took a deep breath and picked up the pen.
Min's face shape is very good, and it is okay to highlight the contour with a slight modification, but the nose is a little collapsed.
When drawing the nose shadow, Si Yan's hand holding the pen tightened, and she tried her best to say calmly: "Miss try not to move." β
She has never hurt people with cosmetics or makeup techniques, but Min's approach makes her desperate to sue her, she really wants to hurt people, she is fully capable of being the one who doesn't know it, if someone makes her disgusting and challenges her bottom line, then she can effortlessly use technology to block her back.
Hehe, little girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know that the road in society is one foot higher than the devil. Take a long β‘β‘note, don't play so yin in the future, don't be so yin!
Si Yan calmed down the contouring pen and traced it carefully, from her brow to her nose.
Then slowly push the sponge away to create a natural-looking effect, and then use the other end to highlight the bridge of the nose.
After the painting was finished, she first held Min's chin and looked at it carefully, and then asked Min to look in the mirror: "Miss, take a look, can it be done?" β
It was already afternoon, and the sunlight shining obliquely from the window on one side of the window sprinkled on Min's face, lining the makeup soft and dignified.
"Good." Min raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, and with a little threat, he told her again, "On the Yu side, please also ask the female history to be sure to 'take care' in place." β
Si Yan lowered her eyes and said nothing, and sent the arrogant Min out of Shangyi Bureau.
After the back left, Si Yan smiled slyly: Hehe!
Then she was going to rest. This task has an advantage, that is, she is the leader of the task, as long as she is in charge of the overall situation, and the specific work can be assigned to the people below.
As for Min's confession to make Yu's allergies, she naturally didn't confess. She also plans to go to the scene to observe in person for a while, help the nobles touch up their makeup, and by the way, if the Min family wants to do something harmful, she, an insider, can't remain silent and sit idly by!
Many times being silent is tantamount to being an accomplice.
An hour later, everyone arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Several concubines present sat by the stone case and in the pavilion, while the nobles chatted and talked in groups. Si Yan looked at it and felt that this was really a youthful and beautiful landscape, but if she looked closely......
There are only two kinds of costumes in total, and the makeup is similar, and I am a little face blind after looking at it for a long time. =_=|||||
It's obviously not easy to find someone like this, but fortunately, when she assigned makeup tasks to the palace maids, she asked Tangerine to follow the Min family. If Min does something bad, Tangerine will immediately run to her to sue her.
To the west of the Imperial Garden, Tangerine and the other two palace maids waited quietly, raising their eyes from time to time to glance at the few people chatting under the jasmine.
Si Yan asked her to stare at Min, she didn't understand why, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Min's face seemed to be a little ...... Blame?
But Min is really a bitter person, Tangerine listened from afar, and she sneered at the other nobles all over again.
"Alas, Sister Zhou, why do you have spots on your face?"
"Hey, Sister Xia, why are you so dark? Sunburned? β
"Oh, Miss Xi, you can't paint your eye makeup like this. You can't see the eyeliner like this! β
β¦β¦ How can there be such an unpopular person!
Tangerine wanted to roll her eyes when she listened, and the three noble girls all smiled and squinted at her.
After a while, the palace people presented needles and threads, and the women threaded needles together. There are some rewards for winning, and more importantly, the concubines will definitely remember this ingenious girl and directly pave the way for their future.
For a while, the entire Imperial Garden was quiet, and everyone was carefully fiddling with the things in their hands, for fear of losing to others.
The sound coming from afar is particularly clear.
"Hey, Brother Seven, come quickly! What do you say you're hiding? Brother, I have a sweetheart, you haven't yet, this is not suitable! Check it out! A voice urged, teasingly.
The other voice was angry: "Don't make trouble! The girl's family celebrates Daughter's Day, is it appropriate for us to go over at this time? β
"What's wrong with that! You said you were going to say hello to the Queen Mother! "The official will not let go of the official and drag the official to death.
Qi Guanyi was going crazy, he worked hard, pondered for a while, shook off the ninth brother, and then ran away by himself. However, as soon as he struggled, a eunuch's voice rang in his ears: "Yo, two highnesses come down for a walk?" It just so happens that the queen and the concubine are here, please come in. β
Qi Guanyi: "......"
He grinded his teeth and wanted to strangle this eunuch who had no eyesight.
The two brothers glared at each other with a smug face and a grim face, and then had to straighten out their clothes and walk calmly through the garden.
Si Yan was far away, and when she saw the two of them, she smiled, and shouted in her heart: Fan sisters! Let's go!
"Cousin!" Min walked out from under the jasmine flowers, but didn't look at Qi Guanbao much, and went straight to Qi Guanyi: "Your Highness the Seventh ......"
Qi Guanyi frowned: "This is ......"
"Oh, this is my cousin." Qi Guanbao casually introduced, his gaze stopped on Min's face for a moment but he was stunned, and then he laughed unabashedly, "Hahahaha!! β
Si Yan gasped.
She knew what Qi Guanbao had seen, and she just wanted to say don't you react so much! Shut up, okay!
She firmly believes that this kind of loophole in makeup is not known to everyone face-to-face for the sake of face, so she does this! It's not fun to say it!
I'm going to get into trouble!
This Min Shi had already covered his face in panic: "What's the matter?" What is my cousin laughing at? β
"Hahaha Qi Guanbao laughed so much that the people around him looked over, "Have you been beaten?" What's wrong with a crooked nose? The face is also ...... Also crooked? β
The "fluttering" laughter around him one after another, it can be seen that there is actually more than one official who can see this matter.
Min Shi was stunned, Si Yan stared at them in the half-dark sky, and shouted in her heart, "Don't look for me, don't look for me, don't look for me......
"Si Yan!" Min Shi became furious for a moment, and when she looked around, she couldn't find anyone, so she casually carried a nearby palace maid, "What about the female history of your Shanggong Bureau!" β
Tangerine was so frightened by her that her breath was stagnant, and she slowed down for a moment and said, "Slave doesn't ...... I don't know! β
"Then you go find her!" Min pushed the orange hard, turned around and looked, and ran to the concubine who was sitting in the pavilion aggrievedly, and opened her mouth with a crying voice, "Cousin......!" You've got to call the shots for me! β
The concubine looked at her with some embarrassment, and the queen swept the concubine with a smile.
"That Si Yan, she must have intentionally corrected me! Cousin, you treat her so well......"
"Hey." The queen snorted, "What I said is that Miss Si is a person who is important to you, sister Guifei, why are you not making trouble yourself?" β
She shook the fan as she spoke, with a look of "Bengong is watching a good show": "Is there any misunderstanding?" β
Si Yan, who had been brought to the pavilion, was shocked, and quickly pondered how to explain.
Min opened her mouth 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 would have become a member of the Min family.
She just used her makeup skills flexibly, hitting her nose shadow higher and lower, and when contouring, she also moved the highlight of the left side of her face down slightly by half a finger.
At that time, the sun was obliquely reflecting, and the side of the dressing table she picked for Min was leaning against the window, and the light was naturally uneven when facing the dressing table, so Min couldn't see it when she looked in the mirror.
But others can see it.
Si Yan's original calculation was that Min would slowly hear about it from other people after she went home, so it was useless for her to be angry, and she couldn't come back to settle accounts with her immediately. Stay calm...... She will understand that what she has done to the Yu family is also very immoral.
In addition, you will understand the hard truth of "don't offend the makeup artist"! [crossed out]
I never expected to kill an official insurance halfway! Now I have to go head-on!
Si Yan walked into the pavilion, and Qi Guanyi and Qi Guanbao had also arrived. She was blessed, so she could only pretend to be innocent to the Min family first: "Miss Min, what are you talking about?" β
"If I don't make you happy, you just bully me with makeup, right?" Min's tearful appearance is quite pitiful, and Pingsu's domineering appearance is like two people.
Si Yan, who didn't think of anything for a while, continued to be innocent and said, "Ah......? β
"What garlic are you pretending to be!" Min twisted her arm and forcibly dragged her to the concubine, "Are you still pretending to be stupid in front of the concubine?" You make it clear! β
"You let go of her!" Qi Guan Bao stepped forward and unceremoniously pushed the Min family, "Si Yan is not a person who will bully people casually!" You must have provoked her first! β
"......" Si Yan pulled him while rubbing his wrist, "Your Highness the Ninth ......!" β
She was too afraid that Qi Guanbao's mouth would cause other trouble.
However, a step too late, Min was already crying: "Cousin, you also helped her bully me?" How can you do that! β
Qi Guanbao was not to be outdone: "You are used to bullying honest people!" If I hadn't been your cousin, I would have beaten you up a long time ago! β
Ooh......
Si Yan gasped.
"Alright, alright." The queen opened her mouth appropriately, she smiled, raised her eyes to look at the Min family and then at Si Yan, and finally, her eyes fell on the concubine, "Sister Guifei, what should I do?" The good Qixi Festival is so unpleasant, and it is not good to hear it in His Majesty's ears. β
In other words, the queen demanded that the concubine be held accountable.
To put it bluntly, at least one of the Min family and Si Yanli will be punished.
Si Yan chuckled in her heart, looked at the concubine nervously, and secretly prayed that she could have a golden finger as a player.
"I don't blame Si Yan for this!" Qi Guanbao glared at the Min clan while arguing forcibly, and shook Si Yan's arm again, "There must be some reason!" You name it! β
