181, modern makeup
In the time of a cup of tea, the rice paper that wrapped the two strands of Concubine Qin's hair on her forehead was opened, and the scarf was removed. Everyone found that the two strands of Concubine Qin's hair were... bent!
Two strands of hair hang gracefully on both sides of Concubine Qin's cheeks in a curly shape, and the dignified Concubine Qin suddenly becomes charming.
That's right, just two curly hairs can change a person's temperament.
This kind of charm is different from that of brothel women, it is a kind of charm that is not deliberate but spontaneous.
"Wan Qing, this hairstyle suits you so well!" Even the eldest princess couldn't help exclaiming.
Concubine Qin looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes widened in surprise. "Qianxue, you ghost girl, I really want to knock your head open to see what's inside. Why do you have so many fantastic ideas, what else do you have that I can't guess?"
Gu Qianxue blushed a little, how could she bear the praise? These things are all plagiarized by her, not her own invention.
"Since Concubine Qin agrees with this dress and hairstyle, shall we start putting on makeup?" Gu Qianxue said.
Concubine Qin looked at Gu Qianxue with a smile, "Could it be that you have an idea for this makeup?"
Gu Qianxue nodded, "A little bit."
"Okay," Concubine Qin said in a happy mood, "Today, I will reward you a lot."
Gu Qianxue was about to refuse at first, but then she thought about it, why didn't she offer it to her? Although there is no shortage of money, who still thinks they have too much money
So, answer sweetly. "Thank you, Empress, Qianxue."
The eldest princess no longer questioned this time, but ran to Concubine Qin's side, didn't even sit down, just stood, staring and waiting for the "miracle" to happen.
The servant girl cleansed Concubine Qin's face first, and then applied some moisturizing cream. Because Concubine Qin's skin was fair and flawless, Gu Qianxue saved the effort of "inventing" the concealer foundation and focused on Concubine Qin's eye makeup superior.
Eyes are the windows to the soul, and they are also the focus of a woman's makeup. Once the eye makeup is done, the whole makeup is more than half successful.
In Nanyue Country, although women shave off excess eyebrows with a makeup knife, their eyebrows are still dominated by natural eyebrows.
People's aesthetics are very strange, and they all like to keep "retro", that is, when the fashion trend reaches a certain level, things that were ten or even decades ago will become popular again.
The reason is very simple, rare things are more expensive, there are only a few styles, and everyone is tired of seeing one kind, and the other one suddenly becomes chic and cute.
Just like this eyebrow shape.
The natural unlined eyebrows and the delicate and meticulous arched eyebrows have been alternating repeatedly on the popular road. When everyone's eyebrows are thick and natural, arched eyebrows are loved by everyone for their exquisiteness and perfection. And when everyone's eyes are covered with arched eyebrows like knives and carvings, the Korean-style natural one-word eyebrows are back in fashion.
Therefore, Gu Qianxue made Concubine Qin a modern, old-fashioned raised eyebrow, the meticulous one.
"Wow, this eyebrow shape is really suitable for Wan Qing, and now it's called delicate eyebrows." The eldest princess was surprised.
Concubine Qin was not used to seeing her own eyebrows, but she knew that they were very beautiful.
The eldest princess was in a hurry, "Gu Qianxue, you have to repair one for me in a while."
What else could Gu Qianxue say, but she could only nod in resignation, "Got it."
Next, is the most important thing in eye makeup—eyeliner.
Women in Nanyue country use eyebrows to draw eyebrows. In order to use them, craftsmen always make the best eyebrows into the shape of pens, first wrap them in paper, and then wrap them in silk cloth. It seems that it has the same effect as the modern eyebrow pencil.
Gu Qianxue first thinned the tip of the eyebrow pencil with a knife, and then gently lifted Concubine Qin's chin with her left hand, "Madam, I will draw eyeliner for you next, don't be afraid, I won't hurt your eyes, I will let you Whatever you do, do whatever you want."
With Gu Qianxue's surprise performance before, she did something unprecedented, and no one refuted it.
Even the eldest princess stared at her without saying a word.
Gu Qianxue quickly drew the eyeliner for Concubine Qin, and redrawn the eyebrow shape that had been repaired before.
The eldest princess on the side exclaimed again, "Wan Qing, your eyebrows and eyes are as delicate as that of the person in the painting!"
Concubine Qin also looked at the bronze mirror in surprise, amazed at her makeup.
Nanyue people don't know how to draw eyeliner, and even the shape of eyebrows has never been so delicate.
"Don't be impatient, ma'am, I still need to put some powder on your eyelids, otherwise your skin will become oily after a long time, and this eyeliner will be worn out."
Nan Yueguo's eyebrow pencil is naturally not waterproof, let alone waterproof eyeliner. This eyeliner looks like it's done, but in fact, it's easy to smudge, and Gu Qianxue can only use the powder as a setting powder.
Fortunately, Concubine Qin has outer double eyelids, but if she had inner double eyelids, Gu Qianxue would be helpless.
After putting on powder and rouge, Gu Qianxue also drew a lip-biting makeup for Concubine Qin, and thus, a stunning beauty who seemed to have stepped out of a painting was born.
Women, three points of appearance and seven points of dress.
Concubine Qin was originally a stunning beauty, but now that she has modern makeup methods, she is even more glamorous.
Before Gu Qianxue could fully appreciate her "work", she was picked up by the Eldest Princess like a chicken, "Gu Qianxue, draw for me too."
Gu Qianxue didn't know how many times she sighed. She was bullied so badly by her aunt and nephew named Gong, but they were more powerful and powerful than her, so in the end she could only bear with it.
Gu Qianxue had to admit that every fat man was a potential stock, so was the Zhao family, and so was the eldest princess.
The eldest princess after eyebrow trimming and makeup, although she can't be said to be an all-powerful beauty, she is really much more attractive than before.
The princess was very happy, "Gu Qianxue, how do you think I should dress up to be beautiful?"
Gu Qianxue said silently in her heart—you can only be beautiful if you lose weight. Of course, she only dared to say this in her heart, "Cool colors, clothes with stronger color contrast."
"Okay, then you can find a suit for me." The eldest princess was in high spirits.
Gu Qianxue almost cried!
How can she design any clothes? No matter it is modern or ancient, she is just a doctor. She is neither good at makeup nor dressing. She really has no way to dress up a fat beauty like a duck.
Seeing that Gu Qianxue's complexion was very ugly, Concubine Qin finally couldn't help but persuade her, "I'm afraid that time is tight today, and when I have time some other day, I will let Qianxue choose clothes for you."
The eldest princess readily agreed, and reached out to pat Gu Qianxue on the shoulder, "Okay, let's forget about today, and the future will be long, anyway, Gu Qianxue is my daughter, isn't she?"
"..." Can I not be your adopted daughter? Gu Qianxue wailed in her heart, but obviously, the eldest princess would not let her go.
It was about to fall into the night, and the entire capital gradually quieted down, but the west gate of the imperial palace was bustling with traffic.
Just because the female relatives of civil and military officials came to the palace to have a banquet.
