Time flies, and on April 5th, Luo Ming's makeup class started on time.
Unlike previous training courses with separate sessions, this one was an intensive five-day training session, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day, with no breaks, no absences, no leave requests, and no fees.
Six of the students participated through interview assessment, and the other four, like Su Man, were recommended by the training class teachers.
At this moment, ten students were standing in the classroom, waiting in formation, each with their eyes fixed straight ahead, as if they were about to meet some leader.
Suman looked around and found that the faces around her looked very young.
Although they are young, they are not immature. Two of them seem to have won awards.
Just as Su Man was thinking, the classroom door was pushed open.
Everyone's heads turned towards the door and followed Luo Ming's footsteps, like sunflowers seeing the sun.
Luo Ming seemed to have gotten used to the attention. He walked straight to the podium and started lecturing without any opening remarks.
“A few things to note about foundation...”
-
Luo Ming's teaching style is simple and unpretentious, but every word he says is full of substance.
After a day of classes, Su Man's hands were sore from taking notes and her head was numb from listening.
As everyone's eyes turned from 00 to -, Luo Ming tossed his makeup brush into his bag, glanced at the table, and said, "Pop quiz: Complete an evening makeup look without any tools. Time limit is until the end of get out of class."
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
No tools needed?
It would be fine if it's just for everyday makeup, but evening makeup is relatively complicated and tedious. How can you even put it on without a brush or a sponge?
But time waits for no one, no matter what I thought in my heart, my hands got busy.
Unlike tools, hands can't be separated individually. After each step, they often had to wipe clean with a wet tissue to eliminate residue. Furthermore, they hadn't applied makeup with their hands in a while, so they weren't used to it. As a result, by the time Luo Ming said "time's up," half of the ten people hadn't finished.
After Luo Ming glanced at their faces, he turned around and wrote down their rankings on the glass plate behind him.
First place: Lily
Second place: Annie
...
Seventh place: Zhao Man
Su Man was not surprised to see her name at the end.
There are countless makeup artists who want to learn from Luo Ming. Those who finally pass the interview are not considered industry elites, but they can be considered rising stars. Considering her skills, she can accept this ranking.
But acceptance does not mean satisfaction.
After writing down the last person's name, Luo Mingdao said, "I don't let you use tools so that you can experience the differences between cosmetics with your heart. Applying makeup with your hands, touching it with your fingertips, will allow you to understand its texture and spreadability, and to discern which tools are most suitable for it. Every cosmetic has its own life, I hope you will remember this."
As soon as the words fell, the students all felt as if they had suddenly understood.
They are no novices anymore. Everyone has their own set of tools and makeup application techniques. Even if they change to new cosmetics, they will instinctively use their old ones.
Luo Ming obviously wanted them to take a step back and understand the texture and characteristics of each eye shadow palette and each bottle of foundation before using the tools to maximize their effectiveness.
Indeed, when they were applying makeup with their fingers just now, they gained some new insights into these familiar cosmetics.
For example, some concealer palettes adhere better when rubbed with your fingers, while others become patchy when the warmth of your fingers is applied, something I hadn't noticed before.
For a moment, everyone looked at Luo Ming with admiration.
"That's all for today's class. get out of class dismissed."
-
The students left in groups of three or four, while Su Man stayed to clean the classroom.
When everything was almost packed, Su Man turned off the power and prepared to leave.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Mark who was holding a bunch of things. When he saw Su Man, he seemed to have seen a savior, "Quick, kind person, help me."
Su Man took a few things in her hand, and Mark was able to take a breath. "Since you are here, please help me take it to the third floor."
The third floor is the school's office area.
As soon as she went upstairs, Su Man saw a woman smoking by the window.
She had a flamboyant red hair, mist coming out of her mouth, a pair of cat-like eyes narrowed, and surrounded by the mist, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was extremely charming.
Seeing them coming up, the woman put out her cigarette in the flowerpot on the balcony, turned her head and smiled at Mark, "Little Mark, where are you going with all these things?"
Strangely enough, the usually grumpy Mark actually acted like a spoiled child with a woman. "Isn't it all about working hard for your school?"
Su Man raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this person was the principal of this makeup school.
The principal has always been mysterious. Su Man has been in the school for almost a month and has never seen him. She didn't expect to meet him here.
After they put their things away, Su Man nodded to the woman as a greeting and prepared to leave.
But the woman stopped her and said, "Your name is Zhao Man, right?"
Su Man was a little surprised. She stopped and said, "Yes, hello, Principal."
The woman laughed. "Why call me Principal? Call me Deke."
"Sister Deke." Su Man readily agreed.
Dai Ke seemed to be very interested in Su Man. She circled around her and asked, "You were the one who helped Luo Ming testify that day, right?"
Su Man was a little surprised. She thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I'm very grateful to Teacher Luo Ming for speaking up for justice."
