Chapter 0006: The Beauty of Adornment
Who likes it? How shameless!
"Stop talking nonsense and don't move." Before Xu Wan could finish her sentence, Chen Ge had already applied the foundation for her and put on the eye shadow he had prepared.
As she looked at the youthful and lovely girl in the mirror, Chen Ge's mind gradually filled with many memories that did not belong to him, very chaotic, encompassing not only the use of colors and makeup techniques but also fundamental knowledge in fields such as oral science, human anatomy, human skeletal studies, and thanatology
The foundation color is monotonous, the blush is too bright and somewhat glaring, and why can't I find the lipstick?" Chen Ge muttered to himself, and finally began to mix colors on his own. His movements were skilled, his fingers nimble, and his ability to distinguish colors was exceptionally strong, completely unlike a homebody who had never dressed up before
Xiao Wan, today our theme is ghost marriage. I will go adjust the background music shortly, and remember to cover your ears when you are playing the ghost. Additionally, I will personally do your makeup today
Xu Wan's words made Chen Ge take a sharp breath, and he finally understood what was different.
The scene before Xu Wan was also unbelievable to her; she had done all the color matching and makeup herself, which was truly unheard of!
Welcome everyone to my haunted house
The two entered the makeup room, and Chen Ge pressed Xiao Wan in front of the mirror, gently stroking her face with his palm
I am here to seek matters, not to visit
... ...
Looking up, it seemed as if a thin veil had been lifted from the mirror, and the person in the mirror appeared as if they had stepped out of a poem or painting, exuding the charm of a classical Eastern woman, yet there was a subtle sense that something was not quite right.
A good makeup artist will design different styles based on various face shapes. Xiaowan, you have a great foundation. In Chen Ge's mind, there were no distractions; after using the makeup, Xu Wan had already become a "corpse" in his eyes.
Use the primary talent skill - Embalming.
But... she hesitantly reached out toward the mirror and said, "Why do I feel like I am looking at a dead person?"
Of course
On the night of the zombie resurrection, the black phone criticized it as utterly worthless. Chen Ge also reflected on this, acknowledging that the terrifying scene indeed had many issues. Furthermore, to fully enact that scene, at least three staff members would need to cooperate.
"Boss, do you even know how to apply makeup?" Thirty seconds passed, Xu Wan sat in front of the mirror, feeling the unfamiliar warmth on her face, watching herself being manipulated in the mirror, her heart racing, inexplicably feeling a bit ashamed
The solitary cherry red is monotonous and lacks depth, but once combined with hibiscus purple, it becomes different; the two colors transition perfectly and blend together as if they were meant for each other. Chen Ge explained casually as he applied blush to the back of his hand with a brush
"Boss, can you still do makeup?" Xiao Wan said with a mischievous smile, "Sure, but you better not turn me into an ugly monster."
You all are doing well, I had my pants off, accidentally clicked the wrong thing, and this thing popped up! It scared me so much that I jumped up like a carp leaping out of the water. My parents heard the noise and thought I was having a nightmare, so they rushed over to check. Damn it! At that moment, I was wearing nothing, just holding a roll of toilet paper, and my parents looked at me in complete bewilderment
The low-quality blush from our haunted house is overly bright and saturated to create a visual impact, so I first blend it on the back of my hand. Chen Ge's movements are gentle, and after a moment, the blush indeed becomes delicate, with a subtle sheen emerging from the powder.
Embalming is intended to restore the beauty of the deceased to the greatest extent possible, and the makeup used in the process is not originally meant for the living
Boss, what are you doing?
Chen Ge put away the toolbox and hurried downstairs. Before he even approached the entrance of the haunted house, he could hear the voices of tourists chatting outside
Boss, I think you don't need to be so hard on yourself. It's so dark in the haunted house that the visitors can't see clearly...
Seeing the long queue and the fully armed tourists, Chen Ge's lips curled into a smile
Let's leave it like this for now, and we can redo all the colors when we have more free time in the future
"Stop looking, the amusement park will open soon. Hurry and change your outfit, go to the second floor where the ghost marriage venue is, and remember to wear your Bluetooth headset to follow my commands." Chen Ge shifted the topic, sent Xu Wan away, and used the remaining time to process the paper figures and dolls in the ghost marriage scene. With the enhancement of the embalming skill, all the paper figures seemed to come to life, exuding a sense of vitality amidst the deathly stillness.
Xu Wan originally wanted to continue her rebuttal, but upon seeing herself in the mirror, her small mouth slowly opened. The desire to be beautiful is inherent in everyone, especially in a woman
Have you also been deceived by that unscrupulous, smoking fellow?
Staring at the mirror, Xu Wanqing could not help but stand up. She looked at herself in the reflection, her expression shifting from shock to enchantment, and then suddenly she shivered.
"I have many skills, and beauty and hairdressing are merely my hobbies." Chen Ge smiled faintly; when one is in good spirits, their mind is invigorated, and the memories that surfaced once again confirm that mobile games can indeed influence reality
"Xiao Chen, you have already formed a long queue this early in the morning, impressive." The staff member at the nearby carousel was somewhat surprised; he originally intended to greet Chen Ge, but upon approaching, he realized that the atmosphere among the visitors was not quite right.
At this moment, Xu Wan's mouth had formed an O shape: "What a deep concealment! Where did you learn all this?"
Boss, I have never looked this beautiful before. Is the person in the mirror really me
Rest assured, I will make you breathtakingly beautiful
Listening to the tourists' lamentations, Chen Ge barely suppressed a laugh, took a deep breath, maintained a serious expression, and pushed open the door to the haunted house
I found the right person! The one who posted the short video last night is you, right? Where is my knife? Where is my knife!
The enthusiasm of the visitors became overwhelming, and the situation was momentarily out of control. Chen Ge immediately spoke up: "Since everyone is here, why not go in and experience it? The best way to soothe fear is to stimulate the senses; fight fire with fire, and numb oneself. The short video from last night was indeed a lapse in my consideration. How about this: today, all tickets to the haunted house will be half price. If you pass by, make sure not to miss it."
"Tweezers, razors, medical forceps, sutures, alcohol, and preservative needles, I have nothing here, it seems I can only perform the most basic makeup." Chen Ge muttered to himself, startling Xu Wan, who was sitting in the chair. The girl was at a loss, unable to comprehend why such terrifying items were needed for the makeup of haunted house actors. She felt a bit scared but was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only tilt her head and secretly glance at her boss, silently praying.
In Chen Ge's haunted house, there are only two scenes: Zombie Resurrection Night and Ghost Marriage
In just ten minutes, Chen Ge had finished doing Xu Wan's makeup: "Take a look in the mirror, are you satisfied?"
"It's just average, mainly because the tourists like it," Chen Ge shrugged and opened the safety barrier
With just a few strokes, a simple eyeshadow transformed Xu Wan's demeanor, adding a touch of cold elegance and mystery
Oh no! My phone screen is completely shattered, what do you think?
