At the same time, the "Dancing Bird of the Cold" hotel, one of the most exquisite rooms. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Catherine lazily reclined on a rattan chaise longue, her bewitching figure on full display, a beautiful scene. She was watching as Gianna fiddled with something she had brought, a smile with obvious curiosity on her face.

"Gianna, how did you come up with the idea of coming to me today?"

"Show off~!"

Gianna's straightforward answer directly choked Catherine, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Stinky girl!" Catherine scolded with an angry smile, then pointed to the pile of bottles and cans that were already on the table, and the corners of her lips curled, "Heh, you want to show off these?"

Full of questioning tone.

Gianna didn't argue, but beckoned to the other party with a look of anger: "Come here! I'll show you what magic is!"

"If you don't give me an answer, you're dead!"

"Kate, you are so fierce! I remember that your menopause is far from coming! Why do you always have a bad temper? Is this a symptom of a perennial single?"

"Shut up!"

Gianna did shut up, not because she was obedient, but because she had started the move, a craft she had only just learned, and she was not skilled enough, and she had to concentrate on it to make sure that nothing went wrong.

What is she doing? Of course, it has to be modern makeup. Not to mention, this craft and the materials used all come from Ye Guyun.

What? Why does Ye Guyun know how to put on makeup? No, he has to know how to do it! He has already gone through two lifetimes, and he has had a few red faces around him, so can't he learn two or three to scatter his hands to please him? Otherwise, where does the joy of thrush come from? Besides, I have never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run? I will get out the cosmetics, combine the impressions that remain in my mind, practice slowly, practice repeatedly, and I can make up a makeshift makeup artist.

So, is cosmetics hard to get? It's hard. For example, the most basic foundation, which is mainly composed of oil, water, pigments and pigments, is mostly a modern product with a strange name, and in addition, it must be ground to a very fine degree - in modern times, there are special machines for this. After all, these things could not have been done in ancient times.

But so what? Won't you look for alternative materials? Won't you try to improve the process? Why do you have to perfectly restore a modern product? Can't you make a knock-off of it? Can't you improve on similar products from ancient times? Go one step further -- why do you have to know the specific production method? Can't a traverser who is familiar with the properties of the product and has a general grasp of the principle develop it on its own?

What? can't you do? uh...... So stupid, what kind of time-traveler are you going to be......

As a result, in the second life, Ye Guyun has successfully "developed" a full set of "modern" makeup products, foundation, eye shadow, eyebrow pencil, lipstick...... The performance is even close to that of similar products on the modern earth, but the cost is so high that it is not spectacular. No problem, this is a luxury business, the wool comes from the sheep, and the slaughter is only the rich. Now, this whole set of products has been brought to this world by him, so, wail, rich people's wallets~!

Catherine frowned at a magic mirror floating in front of her, and all she could see was Gianna holding a small fluffy brush and smearing it on her face, which made her feel awkward.

"What are you smearing on my face?"

"Foundation!"

"It's very different from the foundations I've ever seen. ”

"Of course! Can those old things that are so white and so soft and so natural? Look! Your complexion has become more radiant and smooth, right? But do you see any obvious signs of grooming?"

"There really isn't...... That guy made this again?"

"Hee-hee~!What do you say?"

"Hmph! Dead pervert! I'm thinking about my daughter's things all day long!"

"So, do you think the things he invented for his daughter's house are beautiful enough and intimate enough?"

Catherine was speechless for a moment, she remembered the variety of styles and exquisite clothes she had seen and experienced, and the gentle underwear like a lover, which were beautiful things that she could not refuse.

"How's that? There's nothing to say, isn't it? Hmph! He's so great! I think all women have to thank him!"

"Alas, you're finished, the poison is too deep, it's hopeless!"

"Even if I will eventually die of poison, I will accept it without complaint or regret. ”

“......”

There was silence.

Catherine was speechless again, and Gianna's steadfastness and determination left her stunned, amazed, shocked, bewildered, and bewildered. She couldn't understand why Gianna, who was noble and arrogant, could have fallen into such a state in less than three months—well, Gianna herself didn't understand.

"It seems to be too exaggerated!" stopped her hand, raised her eyes and frowned, Gianna was dumb and cute and tried to think to herself, "This sentence seems to have been said by someone, and I said it by the way...... Whatever! He put his hand on Catherine's shoulder and rubbed it expertly, "Kate, I seem to have said it many times, you don't need to worry about me. A smart person like me knows what he's doing--voila! I can even learn such a difficult makeup technique, do you think I'm particularly smart?Hey~~Don't interject! Quietly let me finish your makeup, and then express your thoughts when I see the amazing results. ”

So the makeup continued.

However, as the makeup progressed, Catherine couldn't bear the growing curiosity, and once again asked about all kinds of really novel cosmetics: "What is this?"

"Eyeshadow. ”

"Where's this?"

"Hehe, you wouldn't guess, it's lipstick!"

"Lipstick?"

Catherine watched in amazement as Gianna whirled a red paste-like object out of the small woodpipe, and suddenly, at the thought of something, she shook her head violently: "You're definitely going to put this on me." No, I don't, I don't!"

"Why?"

"I know what lipstick is made of, it contains mercury! I don't want to put poison on my lips! Besides," Catherine said with an unusual insistence, "Lipstick is the sign of a prostitute." ”

"First of all, how do you think that the lipstick from Saphius is similar to the ones you know, and you underestimate him, don't you?" said Gianna, with a playful look in her eyes, a playful smile that clearly showed a look of disgust for your intelligence, which Catherine always did to her, "I promise that it must contain no mercury." ”

"And besides," sighed Gianna, "come on, this is your room, and who can see you with lipstick on but you and me? And even if they did, who would think that you are a prostitute like a goddess? And Kate, whom I know, is someone who cares about these worldly signs? What is wrong with you?

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then brushed Gianna's hand away from her forehead, she looked irritated, but she didn't explain, in fact she didn't know how to explain it herself, and she didn't understand why she suddenly cared about lipstick.

Gianna shrugged her shoulders and saw that Catherine had finally stopped "making trouble", so she went on with her work.

After that, Catherine was very quiet, and did not ask a word, not even glance at the magic mirror that was hovering in front of her, she was thinking about something.

Finally, this twist and turn makeup was announced.

Catherine, who came to her senses, saw herself in the mirror and could barely recognize it.

The complexion is white and red and delicate without the slightest blemish, the willow eyebrows are enchanting and intense, the lips are already plump and delicate because of the lipstick modification, and the eyelashes are thickly curled and the eyeshadow is rich in layers, giving the eyes a different kind of charm and depth - Catherine never imagined that a few lines of color around the eyes could create such a dreamlike effect.

In short, Catherine felt that the beauty she had always been proud of seemed to be a step above perfection, a sense of surprise that pushed the boundaries of things, so she now had a look of surprise with round eyes and slightly open red lips, which was particularly cute.

Gianna was obviously very pleased with her work, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Catherine with a smile on her face, she was waiting for her old friend's uncontrollable excitement, and then she was so happy, but don't forget that this time she was here to show off.

Catherine, however, was not as amazed as Gianna had hoped, and after the astonishment she began to contemplate it, and after a long time, she turned her head, and she spoke, not in praise, but in question.

"These cosmetics, this kind of makeup, ordinary people can use it to produce the same effect, right?"

"It must be. Before Gianna could speak, Catherine had already answered on her own, and her tone was very determined, "What is their purpose? to adjust the shape, cover up the flaws, enhance the three-dimensionality, and express the spirit...... These will only be more obvious on the faces of ordinary people and even ugly people!"

Gianna looked at Catherine with a depressed face and said to herself, thinking helplessly, why did she feel an inexplicable frustration when she didn't do anything wrong?

"I can see how special they are!"

"These cosmetics are undoubtedly very advanced, they are far superior to their old counterparts, and they have unique properties that can subtly modify the face. And makeup is not simply applying color to the face, it is a technique, even an art, it follows certain rules, and has a set of profound and complex theories. ”

"Some optical principles must be used, through the color, part, thickness, level and other aspects of the exquisite, to create a series of visual errors, so as to achieve the effect of beautifying the face and even 'changing' the face!"

"It's not make-up anymore, it's a disguise ......"

"Stop, stop~!" Gianna had to forcibly interrupt Catherine's long "discourse", she couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, Kate, don't show it anymore, I know you're smart, and even if you're constantly distracted and talking during makeup, you still have the ability to decipher some of the mysteries...... Tell me directly, what do you want to do?"

Catherine showed a successful smile: "Let me join this business, and share half of the profits." ”

"Are you crazy?" said Gianna, with a particularly exaggerated look of surprise, "Do you know how much is at stake in this business?"

"Yes. That's what I'm going to say," Catherine laughed, "because it has a noticeable effect on everyone's face, so everyone will have the desire to buy it." Everyone has a love for beauty – especially among women, who are always very strong in this regard. I can fully imagine that every woman will have a set of cosmetics in the future, so this is destined to be a profiteering business that I don't even know how to describe it. ”

"Then how dare you open this mouth?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Ouch~!Don't make a fuss!" Gianna had a big headache, "Kate, let me tell you clearly, the low-end cosmetics have been promised to the thirteen lines." What are the thirteen lines? The Grand Duke's money bag, it's not something you can make. And the high-end ...... Hmph, that's the pocket money that Saphius left for our sisters!

"That's right! I was aiming for high-end ......."

Gianna was annoyed: "What do you mean?"

Catherine smiled mysteriously and pointed to the cosmetics on the table: "This is your high-end product, right? But can they be called high-end?"

Gianna was stunned, puzzled.

Catherine pointed to her face proudly: "They are painted on the face of me, Catherine Caples, who is as sharp as me, and I should be able to easily detect their details and some shortcomings." For example, the composition of foundation is quite complex, including talcum powder, kaolin, calcite powder, pearl powder...... A bunch of things, the effect is very good, but not the best, the adhesion is a little insufficient, slightly greasy, the powder particles are still coarse, and the skin-friendly is not enough......"

"Like eyeshadow ......"

"Like lipstick......

"I know by the look on your face that I'm right, and you obviously know that these problems exist. It's not hard to guess why. Either the ingredient itself is flawed, or the most suitable material has not been found and substitutes are used. ”

Gianna's mouth couldn't close anymore, and her face was full of shock, so she almost fell down and bowed: "Kate, you're amazing! You can actually guess this! That's right! That's true! Saphius said that there are still big problems in terms of materials, which are limited by this, so that it is difficult to say that the performance is still perfect, and many good ideas have not been realized......

"What if I had a solution?" laughed Catherine.

"Huh?" Gianna didn't react for a moment.

"I said, I can solve the problem of materials. Catherine had to repeat it in a different way, she felt that there was no need to embarrass this little friend who was tossed enough by herself, so she simply said all her calculations in one breath, "Don't forget that I am a mage, the kind that is particularly clever~! I know how to alchemy, and I have a lot of experience~! Over the years, I have many strange things in my hands, some of which may be worthless waste materials in other aspects, but they are extremely suitable for use as cosmetic materials! Non-toxic, non-irritating, odorless, soft, lubricating, and excellent covering ability...... They can completely act as fillers, binders, softeners, preservatives...... or even colorants. And, without a doubt, in terms of performance, they are far superior to the mediocre materials you are using!"

"At least!" Catherine gestured to the foundation, "better than talcum powder, kaolin, calcite, or whatever." Another finger of lipstick, "It's also better than that carnauba wax, lanolin and other messes!"

"Anyway," Catherine winked at Gianna seductively, "with my help, you can easily fill in all the defects of the existing products and make the closest thing to a flawless real high-end cosmetics! We'll be competitors then!

"Stop, stop, don't, I promise!" Gianna was really frustrated, she never expected that a good show off would turn out like this, "but this is not for me to decide alone, and I have to ask for the consent of others." After all, high-end cosmetics are a sisters' business -- ouch! Kate, you hate it, you say you're an outsider, why do you have to get involved with our sisters!"

Catherine was slightly stunned, but recovered in an instant, and then, she sneered wrizenly: "Hmph~!Who let a certain bad girl always like to show off in front of me with the weird things that this guy has concocted? A little revenge, not a tribute~!"

"Ahh

Then Catherine saw Gianna excitedly pull out a delicate platinum-gold translucent bottle from her bosom, which contained some clear liquid, and she could not tell the mystery or what it was, but she immediately realized its origin.

"Bastard, it's you again!" (To be continued.) )
