Chapter 115: The Hot Rouge
"Master, this smells good! It has the scent of osmanthus, and it's sweet, not overpowering."
Chunxiang particularly loves the scent of osmanthus because she likes to use osmanthus as a seasoning when she makes cakes.
Gu Feixue took the light yellow eyeshadow and nodded.
"Okay, then this one is decided, what about you guys?"
"I like this one, it has a rose scent, it smells elegant, and the eyes are very red, it's very suitable for those brides who are getting married."
Chunyue's words caused Chunxiang and others beside her to make faces and say that she didn't want to get married anymore. Chunyue blushed with embarrassment and started playing with them.
Finally, I decided on rose red and light pink rouge and osmanthus yellow eyeshadow.
As for things like eye shadow, highlighter, and eyeliner, no one knew how to use them in this era, so she could only teach Chunxiang and the others the general uses of these things.
However, she herself is not good at makeup techniques and skills. On the contrary, Chunyue is very talented and seems to have a better perception of colors than ordinary people.
"Chun Yue, I didn't expect you always burn the bread when you bake it, but you are so talented at this!"
Chunxiang and the others were amazed at how focused Chunyue was when she was putting on makeup, and her aesthetic sense was pretty good. Her hands didn't even shake when she was applying eyeliner, which was in stark contrast to her helpless look in front of the oven.
"That's what we call specialization. Everyone has their own strengths."
Then Chunxiang and the others bowed to Gu Feixue with an expression of being taught a lesson: "Master, we are grateful for your instruction."
"Xue'er, what time is it now? If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."
When Gu Feixue brought a few people to the main hall of the Gu family for dinner, the matter of Yanzhi was brought up at the table.
Gu Lang and Gu Tingchuan, two grown men, naturally didn't understand this aspect, but Wang gave an idea:
"Why not let Chunyue and the others teach people how to paint in the shop first? Once the customers have learned, they can naturally buy it and use it themselves."
Gu Feixue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay, let's do this. Chunyue, what do you think?"
Chunyue was a little shy, but after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.
After all, she also felt that her talent in rouge was higher than her cooking skills.
On the second day, Jinxiu Yuyi officially launched the rouge product and named it cosmetics.
There are many colors and scents, and its uses are much more than other rouge shops.
There were also little girls in the store who introduced the uses of these novel toys to the guests, which attracted many ladies and young ladies in the city to come to the store to watch the fun.
"Ouch! Is this the same person as before?"
"What a miracle! Are you guys pulling some magic trick? This girl's eyes weren't this big just now!"
"Yes! This girl looked so pale just now, but now she looks as festive and beautiful as a newlywed, especially her big eyes, which are so big and bright!"
"Wearing this embroidered feathered robe, you will look more beautiful than any fairy in the sky!"
…
The Jinxiu shop was already surrounded by people in three layers, and even the elderly women wanted to squeeze in to watch the fun.
Gu Feixue was on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, and couldn't help but be amazed when she saw this.
Sure enough, no matter what era, love of beauty is a term exclusive to women.
Of course, this grand occasion also attracted many scholars and young men, who held fans in their hands, shook their heads and pretended to pass by, but in fact they were trying to attract the attention of the beauties.
Gu Feixue thought about it, changed into men's clothes, and went for a walk around the shop.
It’s no wonder that after Gu Feixue dressed up as a man and held a folding fan in her hand, she looked like a typical romantic and handsome scholar.
When a group of women saw the man coming, they didn't push with her, so Gu Feixue was able to successfully squeeze into the encirclement.
Chunyue inside is helping someone put on makeup.
I just heard her painting and explaining to everyone at the same time.
"...This white powder is called highlighter. You can apply it on the bridge of your nose, the corners of your eyes, your forehead, and your chin. It's made with mother-of-pearl and pearls, and it will brighten your face."
Then another guest was transformed under Chunyue's magical hands.
"My God, this guy has changed too!"
"That highlight makes her face look so bright! Like a fairy descending to earth."
Gu Feixue thought to herself that the words these people used to describe beautiful women seemed to be fairies and goblins, and there were no other words.
So Gu Feixue waved her folding fan, trying to make her presence felt:
"Good! What a beautiful girl! This is the first time I have ever seen such a beautiful girl in my life."
As soon as these words were spoken, the girl immediately covered her cheeks with her clothes shyly. Then, amid everyone's envy, she said something to Chunyue and ran away with her face covered.
Gu Feixue touched her nose and wondered if she was wrong. Why did the girl leave?
Then she saw the ladies beside her looking at her with a trace of contempt, and she suddenly realized that in ancient times this kind of behavior could be called a lecher.
Gu Feixue's face flashed with embarrassment, and then her eyes lit up. She cupped her hands and said:
"Haha, Fei has never seen such a beautiful woman before. I really can't help myself. I hope everyone will forgive me, forgive me."
"What this young man said is true. The girl just now was really pretty. She wasn't that pretty at first, but after being in the hands of this girl, she became as beautiful as Xi Shi."
Seeing that the contempt in the women's eyes disappeared and they then looked at Chunyue with fiery gazes, Gu Feixue couldn't help but wipe the sweat off her face.
Looking at these people who were only staring at Chunyue, this girl Chunyue couldn't speak, Gu Feixue felt anxious and started to lead the rhythm again:
"My lady, how did you make that girl look so beautiful?"
As expected, this time everyone had no time to pay attention to Gu Feixue, and they all echoed and asked:
"Yeah, is there any trick?"
After Gu Feixue's reminder, Chunyue came back to her senses and said:
"This is because we use our Jinxiu rouge. Not only does our Jinxiu rouge contain no impurities, but each one also has a unique fragrance that perfectly blends with the skin without smudging. If you become a member and spend five taels of silver in our shop, you can have a custom-made makeup set made for you."
These remarks were naturally made in agreement with Gu Feixue from the beginning. Although helping people with makeup for free could promote business, a "profiteer" like Gu Feixue would not do such a loss-making business.
Duck down jackets are still okay, but those who come out to buy rouge and want to become beautiful have plenty of money in their hands. She would feel guilty if she didn't make more money.
As soon as Chunyue finished speaking, a group of girls and ladies immediately ran towards the shelf where rouge was displayed as if they were crazy.
He was afraid that he would not be able to grab it, and Gu Feixue was dumbfounded when she saw it.
After all, Chunyue hasn't said the most classic "limited quantity, first come, first served" gg word yet.
Gu Feixue was bumped by the crowd several times and turned around several times before she could steady herself. Then she looked at the shop assistants who were hurriedly greeting the customers, and was speechless.
Oh my god, she is no longer useful?
Then Gu Feixue put away her inexperienced expression and sat in the reception room beside her, fanning herself with a folding fan.
Chunyue didn't rest much for two hours.
It was already dark, and there was still a long line of people in the embroidery shop, waiting for her to do their makeup.
