Chapter Ninety-Six: Demonstration of Makeup
After the matter of sending the letter, everyone felt that they had a good impression of Qi Ling, and they also felt closer.
Someone finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in their hearts.
"Miss Qi Ling, I don't know how you put on your makeup today? What's this makeup called? I feel peachy, not to mention how good-looking!"
There were also many people in the pavilion who nodded after hearing her say this, and indeed from the moment Qi Ling came in, they began to quietly pay attention to her makeup today.
Hearing her ask, Qi Ling hooked her lips and laughed, they were all women, and she naturally knew everyone's mood.
It's like when she used to go to school by train every day, she couldn't help but look at the beautiful young lady with makeup.
Women are creatures that are not aggressive to some people of the same sex, not jealous when they see them, but more often with an appreciative attitude.
So of course, she is happy to share her makeup today.
"This is a kind of peach blossom makeup that is very suitable for spring, and the pink color highlights a girly feeling of cardamom in early February."
"Peach blossom makeup? Peach Blossom ......"
Zhao Wan'er silently read these words in her mouth, then looked at Qi Ling's face and nodded in agreement.
"This name is so apt, it is indeed like a peach blossom with a human face!"
Others chimed in.
"Yes, listening to the name of this makeup, it feels very springy, not dull and cliché at all, and it is very natural, and if it is lighter, you will almost lose the makeup."
"Do you still remember, the makeup that came out of the palace last year, what is the pear flower makeup, I really can't appreciate it, no matter how you look at it, I think it's a little strange......"
"I also don't think it's too good-looking, and the face is too white, so it looks very uncomfortable and not natural at all."
……
The pear blossom makeup they are talking about, Qi Ling has seen a woman on the street, and it is said that there are still many followers, but in all fairness, she feels that it does have a bit of "spicy eyes".
Because of this so-called pear blossom makeup, the attention is to the skin color should be as white as pear blossoms, but not every woman is born with milky skin.
Therefore, those with dark and yellow complexions deliberately put a thick layer of powder on their faces, as if they were pasting a layer of paste on their faces, and when they walked, they could see the powder falling down their faces.
Of course, this is a good thing for gouache shops, because these women have to use up most of the boxes of gouache once they put on peach blossom makeup, which can be regarded as driving the industry.
In addition to making the face white, he also had to shave off half of his eyebrows, and deliberately turned his eyebrows into a big point with Qing Dai, Qi Ling felt that no matter how he looked at it, it was like putting two "commas" on his face.
Finally, the mouth should be red, and when you apply it, you can't apply it all over your face, but only a part of it, and it is said that this is the real cherry mouth.
Qi Ling couldn't understand why such makeup came out of the palace, could it be that the emperor liked this tone of beauty?
Thinking that if the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem are all wearing a white face, they feel a little scary.
But fortunately, this makeup is like a flash in the pan, and it was only popular for most of the last year, if Qi Ling crossed over at that time, she felt that she would be very sad, because she really couldn't appreciate it.
And this kind of makeup is mostly made by the women of the back house, in order to show their nobility, where would ordinary people think of putting it up like this, just wasting gouache money, it is not enough.
After thinking about it, she said: "Actually, the pear blossom makeup is a little too heavy, and it is really not suitable for some ordinary occasions. ”
Just think about it, for example, if a pair of lovers are under the moon, and the woman is wearing such makeup, she has to scare the man, how can there be any romantic atmosphere, and it will also spoil the scenery.
Zhao Wan'er nodded, with an extremely approving expression.
"Yes, yes, last year, I also turned into a ghost in white because of curiosity twice, and once I was walking in the yard in a white dress at night and was seen by my father, which almost frightened him, not to say that he thought he had met a female ghost in white."
Qi Ling listened to Zhao Wan'er's words, and couldn't help but sweat for her father, Zhao Zhifu, who saw such a scene at night, he couldn't be scared.
Everyone laughed when they saw what she said interestingly, and a few young ladies who had the same experience as Zhao Wan'er laughed even more happily.
When the laughter died down, someone asked again.
"Then how did you put on this peach blossom makeup? Can Miss Qi Ling teach us? ”
It was Li Hanyun who was the first to get the soap who spoke, she was a little soft and weak, if it weren't for the fact that she really liked this makeup, she wouldn't dare to ask out loud.
Qi Ling didn't hide his secrets, and planned to teach them how to go to it as it was, but he was afraid that it wouldn't work.
After all, there is no way to fully describe some strength, techniques and other things in words, and there may be misunderstandings when you say it, so the most appropriate way is to find someone to demonstrate.
Qi Ling looked at the people in the pavilion, a little hesitant, these are all the eldest ladies who have been dressed and eaten since childhood, what if no one is willing to come up.
But no matter what, she had to ask, so she asked.
"It's not enough to just say I'm afraid, who of you sisters wants to come up and do a demonstration? I'll put on a makeup for her and tell you about it while I'm done. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, several people stood up, which was beyond Qi Ling's expectations.
It turned out that everyone was quite enthusiastic.
Qi Ling saw that Li Hanyun, who asked the question just now, was also there, so he directly named her.
Li Hanyun still had some base makeup on her face when she came, so Qi Ling could only ask her to use goat milk soap to wash the things on her face first.
While she was washing her face, Zhao Wan'er also deliberately asked the maid to take out the Qingdai and some makeup things in her boudoir.
Seeing that the things were very complete, Qi Ling relieved his heart, took out a cloth bag rolled up in a ball from his body, and opened it to be the set of makeup brushes specially made for someone.
When she came, she always felt that she might use it at any time, so she put it on her body, but she didn't expect to use it.
After Li Hanyun wiped his face clean, he sat directly in front of the mirror, and his face was a little red because he was a little nervous.
Everyone stopped sitting and came over one after another, surrounding Qi Ling in the middle.
At this moment, Qi Ling felt like a makeup teacher who was teaching a class, tightly blocked by a group of eager students.
Facing a pair of expressions full of anticipation, Qi Ling suddenly burst out laughing.
