After teaching all the steps and points to note, Nan Wusi let the ladies and young women practice on their own, and they could ask her any questions they had.
These ladies and young women naturally took this opportunity to practice diligently. Although Nan Wusi seemed to find it very easy to learn, when it came to their own practice, they always found something wrong here and something wrong there.
Meanwhile, Nanwusi wandered around to check on the progress of each person's practice, patiently answering their questions about any areas that needed improvement.
The maids watched intently, some even discussing it with their mistresses, since they too would eventually have to learn it.
After having all the cosmetics tried by the ladies, Nan Wusi took out the makeup remover.
Then she told the ladies and young women that this makeup remover was essential after applying makeup, because incomplete makeup removal could negatively impact a woman's skin.
These ladies and young women had never heard of such things before, but the mere fact that Nan Wusi said it would make their skin worse and then make them ugly was enough to frighten them. They all said that they would definitely buy makeup remover from now on and take good care of their skin.
The free day of instruction quickly came to an end. As the ladies and young women were leaving, Nan Wusi gave each of them a lipstick, which delighted them. They all said they would definitely visit Nan's new shop when it opened.
Nan Wusi naturally responded to these polite remarks with a smile. Since they were new to modern cosmetics, they were still getting used to many things, but there was no rush. They could take their time, as her business had unlimited potential.
The free training sessions that followed were conducted in the same way. Most of the ladies and young women were able to master the basic usage methods, after all, they had been using makeup for so many years.
Looking at the results of his efforts over the past period, Nan Wusi thought it was about time to open the store, so he began to busy himself with the preparations for opening the cosmetics store.
Namo Si named this cosmetics store "Beautiful Life" in the hope that all women can achieve beauty.
Previously, this cosmetics shop was rented from an old tailor, and it was already decorated at that time. So now Nan Wusi only needs to arrange the staff and prepare the goods.
Nan Wusi has already prepared the goods; what she lacks is manpower for the cosmetics store. Her cosmetics store is sure to be very popular, so she will need a lot of staff.
Fortunately, Dream Clothes Shop doesn't require Nan Wusi to be constantly on guard, so it's fine for her to stay in the Beautiful Life Shop. However, these servants need to be retrained.
This time, Nan Wusi didn't dare to recruit people from outside. Instead, he selected a few clever-looking maids and servants from the general's mansion.
Nan Wusi told them that the treatment they would receive when serving guests at the shop would be better than what they would receive while staying at the mansion, which naturally delighted the maids and servants.
They were not first-class servants to begin with, and their monthly wages were very meager. If they were to work in the shop, they might even be promoted to manager one day. Naturally, they were extremely grateful to the young lady for giving them this opportunity and expressed their loyalty.
So Nan Wusi spent a few more days giving these people a simple training session, including teaching them how to use the goods and the etiquette for serving customers in the store.
The main purpose was to familiarize them with the use and function of these goods. As for etiquette, these were servants of the General's Mansion, so there wouldn't be any major problems.
Once everything was ready, Namo Si opened the Beautiful Life store.
On the day the shop opened, quite a few people came, and almost all the ladies and young women who had participated in the free makeup class were present. Wu Qingzi even wore the new dress that Nan Wusi had specially made for her, because she liked it very much.
Besides them, there were many onlookers, including some who wanted to belittle Nan Wusi.
However, these arguments are basically useless against Nan Wusi now, because they can only attack her appearance.
Nan Wusi could guess what they would say: that an ugly woman was actually selling cosmetics, and that they didn't believe these products were effective.
There are also concerns that Nanwusi's products may be harmful to human health.
However, Nan Wusi was naturally not afraid of others' doubts, so she first gave everyone a brief explanation.
The white powders and lip balms that people use every day contain a lot of substances that are harmful to the human body. Long-term use is truly harmful to the body.
The products that Nanwusi sells in his store are all within safe limits and will not cause any further harm to the human body, so everyone can use them with confidence.
She then gave a detailed introduction to each item, and then randomly selected a bystander to have her makeup redone, which drew praise from the onlookers.
However, the prices of these goods ultimately deterred many people, because even the cheapest eyebrow pencil cost tens of taels of silver, which they simply could not afford.
However, this price was highly sought after by these nobles. It should be noted that the snail-shell rouge and lip rouge they originally used were extremely expensive and rare, so much so that sometimes even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy them.
The price of Namo Si's Beautiful Life is affordable even for some slightly wealthy families, so it has attracted a large number of buyers.
However, lipsticks are still the best-selling product, proving they are indeed a killer of women's wallets, winning the favor of women in any time and space.
Nanwusi has only just started selling basic cosmetics, and the colors are still very limited. Even for lipsticks, only three colors are available for sale today.
Nan Wusi plans to gradually adopt these modern cosmetics, which will be more than enough for her to build a beauty empire.
Along with these cosmetics, beauty tools such as brushes and powder puffs are also sold.
However, these items are basically only purchased by ladies and young women who have attended Namo Si's free makeup tutorials, because they have seen Namo Si use them and know that these items can help them do their makeup better.
However, for other people who are not familiar with the market, most of them just look at the prices and then do not buy anything.
Nan Wusi was hoarse from explaining all day. She thought about it and realized that she should hold a few more makeup training courses to popularize some knowledge for these customers, so that she wouldn't have to explain it like this every time a new product was launched in the future.
She can also bring some cosmetics that haven't been put on the market yet to be sold to class in advance for explanation and sale.
