"I brought a makeup artist for you!" Ge Huiyun said with a smile, pointing at the girl next to her.
Tian Tian knew this girl. She was a relative of Ge Huiyun. Tian Tian had seen this girl at Ge Huiyun's house before. Her name was Zhu Xiumei and she currently worked at a newspaper.
"Tiantian, just give your face to me today, I will paint it beautifully!" Zhu Xiumei said with a smile on her face.
Tian Tian didn't have much contact with Zhu Xiumei and had only met her once. She didn't know what kind of person Zhu Xiumei was, nor did she know whether she could put on makeup.
But when she saw the smile on Zhu Xiumei's face, Tian Tian felt an inexplicable chill on her back. She knew what it looked like when people put on makeup nowadays. At least she had seen it all when Shen Lingling and Tian Lili got married.
She thinks that makeup at this time would be very suitable if you were wearing the military-style camouflage uniforms that are commonly worn at this time, which would make people feel energetic and vigorous. However, if you put on makeup while wearing a wedding dress, such makeup might not be appropriate.
Ge Huiyun had to hurry back as she also had to put on makeup and get dressed today, so she sent Zhu Xiumei to Tian Tian and left quickly.
Tian Tian and Zhu Xiumei were left looking at each other, "Let's put on our makeup quickly. When I got here, Gu Zhao and the others were already ready. I guess they'll send someone over soon."
Zhu Xiumei moved very quickly. She picked up the wedding dress that Tian Tian had spread on the bed and threw it into Tian Tian's arms. "Hurry up and put on the wedding dress. After you put it on, I will put on makeup for you!"
Both of them were women, and Tian Tian was also wearing clothes underneath, but she didn't feel anything awkward and put on her wedding dress by herself.
After changing into the wedding dress, Zhu Xiumei looked at Tian Tian with admiration, "This wedding dress suits you very well, and you look great in it!"
After saying that, Zhu Xiumei pulled Tian Tian aside and pressed her in front of the dressing table in the room to put on makeup for her.
She brought a small bag with her, which was full of makeup supplies. Tian Tian was a little nervous at first, but as she watched Zhu Xiumei skillfully apply foundation, set makeup, draw eyebrows, and apply blush on Tian Tian, and as she watched her facial features in the mirror become more three-dimensional, Tian Tian knew that Zhu Xiumei was really talented and was very good at makeup.
After applying lipstick, her facial features in the mirror became relaxed and elegant. Tian Tian was very satisfied with the makeup, which made her look even better with the wedding dress.
"It will be perfect once you put your hair up!" Zhu Xiumei looked at herself in the mirror and said finally, and started to fiddle with Tiantian's hair again. He first combed Tiantian's hair behind her head, and then pinned a lot of small clips. Zhu Xiumei's movements could not be captured in the mirror, and Tian Tian could only feel her hair being fiddled with. She didn't know how Zhu Xiumei did it, but her hair was tied into a round bun behind her.
Tian Tian had been suffering from popularity before, and finally cut her hair to shoulder-length. However, she was too busy at school in the first half of this year and had no time to cut her hair, so she has kept it until now. Now it has grown quite long, to the middle of her back, and it looks pretty good when it is tied up.
Tian Tian looked in the mirror and thought her hairstyle looked good. She thought that was the end of it, but Zhu Xiumei rummaged in her bag again and took out a curling iron. She curled the two small strands of hair next to Tian Tian's ears into a bunch of curls that stuck out outside her ears.
Tian Tian felt a little uncomfortable and kept wanting to push her hair behind her ears, but Zhu Xiumei stopped her.
"This will make your face look smaller and more beautiful. Finally, you will be perfect if you put on this pearl necklace!" Zhu Xiumei put the pearl necklace on the table on Tian Tian's neck, and then pinned the wedding veil on her hair. After putting the veil in place, she took a step back and admired her work in the mirror.
"Sure enough, round faces are beautiful and they look very elegant and bright after putting on makeup!" Zhu Xiumei praised.
"Do you often put makeup on others?" Tian Tian asked curiously, seeing that Zhu Xiumei's makeup on her was indeed very beautiful.
"No!" Zhu Xiumei took out another earring and wanted to put it on Tian Tian, but suddenly found that Tian Tian did not have pierced ears, so she had to give up.
"I like to put makeup on others, but my colleagues and good friends rarely wear makeup, so I can only practice at home, and my mother doesn't like me doing this kind of thing!"
Nowadays, people still wear relatively few makeup, and usually just draw eyebrows and put on lipstick, which people can do at home, so there is no need for Zhu Xiumei.
Tian Tian looked at her makeup and said, "Have you ever learned how to put on makeup? You put it on so well!"
Zhu Xiumei's makeup is really good. Tian Tian doesn't know much about makeup, but she watched so many videos of beauty bloggers in her previous life and knew that makeup mainly has two points. One is to modify the face shape, and the other is to modify the facial features. While highlighting your own strengths, you also need to slightly modify other weaker facial features to balance the overall face shape.
There is a way to draw bones and a way to draw skin.
Tian Tian is the type of person whose skin is more important than her bones. Her overall face is round and her nose is not very high.
But Zhu Xiumei learned this without any instruction. She just used only two strokes to make Tian Tian's nose three-dimensional without it looking out of place on the whole face. Zhu Xiumei knows how to apply makeup to make people look better, and she also knows how to use colors on her face.
If Zhu Xiumei has not learned this systematically, then she is really talented. She is not only sensitive to people's facial features, but also to colors.
In short, Zhu Xiumei is a genius in makeup.
"I haven't learned it before. Where can I learn this? I just drew it for myself at home and figured it out." Zhou Xiumei packed up all the things she had brought with her.
She would be scolded by her mother whenever she put on makeup at home. When she first became interested in makeup, she bought a lot of cosmetics and learned how to use them from the salesperson.
When she came back and tried it on her mother's face for the first time, she was scolded by her mother right after she started applying foundation. She said that it was very uncomfortable to put so much foundation on her face and she felt suffocated. Besides, it didn't look good if the skin was too white. She told her not to do these messy things.
Zhu Xiumei felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but she never put makeup on her mother again. She just painted in her room and prepared a towel to wipe off the makeup on her face every time she finished putting makeup on.
Her makeup skills were developed little by little.
Zhu Xiumei likes to put on makeup with others, but the current social trend is that few people wear makeup. This makes Zhu Xiuyun feel powerless and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, her cousin Ge Huiyun also likes to put on makeup, and she would pull her over from time to time to ask her to put on makeup so that Zhu Xiumei could satisfy her itchy hands. So when Ge Huiyun asked her to put on makeup for Tian Tian today, she immediately agreed.
"Today you said I'm here to do your wedding makeup. Actually, I want to thank you. During this period of time, I have never tried to do makeup for others except for my own face. It is because of this opportunity that I can fulfill my wish. I don't know when I will have this opportunity again." Zhu Xiumei packed her things, put them on her shoulders, and said to Tian Tian.
"Xiumei, do you think I look good in this wedding dress?" Tian Tian turned to Zhu Xiumei and asked.
Zhu Xiumei looked Tian Tian up and down very seriously and said, "It looks great. This wedding dress suits you very well!"
"If you hadn't put this makeup on me, I wouldn't be so beautiful!"
Tian Tian said to Zhu Xiumei seriously: "Everyone will definitely like a beautiful wedding dress in the future. I also want to be as beautiful as this when I get married. It is not good to wear a wedding dress without makeup. If you think about it this way, you will have many opportunities in the future!"
Zhu Xiumei's eyes lit up, but dimmed again the next second, "But they don't know that I'm good at makeup, so who would come to see me?"
"How could they not know? A living example is right in front of them!" Tian Tian lifted her skirt and turned around.
"My colleagues and my best friends from college will also be attending the wedding. Many of them are not married yet, so they will definitely be interested in seeing me like this today. If you come with me to the wedding, I will introduce you to everyone. This way, when they get married in the future, they will also ask you to do their makeup!" Tian Tian said excitedly.
Zhu Xiumei's eyes lit up like a 200-watt light bulb when she heard this. "The more people know that I can do makeup, the more people will come to me. It doesn't have to be a lot. Even if there are only one or two people, I will be very satisfied!"
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you today!" Zhu Xiumei excitedly pulled Tian Tian.
"It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble. I will come to you for makeup in the future. You have to give me a discount! How much does this makeup cost today?" Tian Tian asked belatedly.
"This makeup is free. I like to do makeup for you and I am very happy to do makeup for you!" Zhu Xiumei said as a matter of course.
Tian Tian was almost stunned when she heard her words. Zhu Xiumei's makeup was really beautiful. In her opinion, such a good makeup must have cost a lot of money. And from what she knew in her previous life, the weddings and makeup artists could make a lot of money in a day, so their makeup was very valuable.
She didn't expect that Zhu Xiumei didn't think about money at all. In her opinion, putting on makeup was really something that made her happy. She didn't enjoy making money with makeup, but she enjoyed the process of putting on makeup.
"You don't think that other people won't need to pay you when you do makeup for them in the future, right?" Tian Tian asked in disbelief.
"Yes, no one will make money by putting on makeup!" Zhu Xiumei said very calmly.
Tian Tian was a little upset after hearing this, "Of course there will be people! Just like the people outside who use their skills to make money at the snack stalls, you are so good at makeup, it is also your skill, it is normal for you to use it to make money! With such a good skill, it is normal for you to charge a little more each time!"
Tian Tian got up very early. There weren't as many things to do after getting married. Tian Tian got up early because she was not good at putting on makeup. She thought she might have to put it on several times, but unexpectedly Zhu Xiumei came and put on makeup for her quickly and well. Tian Tian felt that she got up too early. It was only five o'clock when she finished putting on makeup, and she still had a lot of time to spend.
Now I have some time to discuss with Zhu Xiumei the issue of makeup pricing.
"Isn't two dollars too much for a makeup session?" After Tian Tian and Zhu Xiumei finished putting on their makeup, they were not idle either. They started to clean up the room while talking.
Although it is a guesthouse, Tian Tian is going to get married here, so the hotel room must be decorated to make it look festive.
Many things were prepared in advance at home. When Tian Tian came back yesterday, Gu Zhao also prepared a lot of things, but those things were placed in Lin Meiyu's room. There was only a red quilt with a few red wedding characters in Tian Tian's room, so they spread the red quilt on the bed.
"Isn't two dollars a bit too expensive?" Zhu Xiumei asked hesitantly.
In this era when a bowl of vegetarian noodles costs only eight cents, two dollars can buy a lot of things.
After listening to this, Tian Tian thought about it carefully and still felt that the price could be set at two yuan. Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Just as Tian Tian was about to pull the wedding dress to open the door, Zhu Xiumei went over before her and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Lin Meiyu, who had just woken up and changed her clothes. Seeing Zhu Xiumei in the room, she was startled. She looked up at the room number and confirmed that it was Tian Tian's room. Then she asked hesitantly, "Isn't Tiantian in this room?"
Hearing Lin Meiyu's voice, Tian Tian poked her head out of the door and said with a smile, "Mom! You're here!"
Seeing Tian Tian in a wedding dress, Lin Meiyu suddenly lost her voice. It took her a while to find her voice again. "You look so beautiful in this. Is this a wedding dress?"
Tian Tian pulled Lin Meiyu into the house and closed the door. Then she turned around by her clothes and asked Lin Meiyu, "Mom, do you think I look good in this outfit? And the makeup on my face was done by Sister Xiumei!"
Lin Meiyu looked at Tian Tian carefully and praised her sincerely, "Very beautiful! This makeup suits you, and you look beautiful in the wedding dress!"
"Auntie, Tiantian is getting married today. How about I do your makeup so that you can look beautiful for Tiantian's wedding!" Zhu Xiumei really loves the makeup industry and said as soon as she had time.
When Tian Tian saw Zhu Xiumei winking at her, she smiled and said to Lin Meiyu, "Mom, you should put on some makeup too. We have to take photos today. You'll look better in the photos if you put on some makeup."
It seems that Zhu Xiumei is busy today, but it doesn’t matter, Tian Tian will not let her work in vain. After the work is done, Tian Tian will give Zhu Xiumei a big red envelope.
Lin Meiyu felt a little embarrassed and refused on the pretext that she had to decorate the house.
