Lin Nian took a sip of water and rinsed away the sour taste of the soy juice in his mouth. He sat in the passenger seat of the Aston Martin. He wore his seat belt in a very disciplined manner and did not open the convertible of the car on the right. The window was mostly open, and his right elbow was leaning on the curved corner of the car glass. His hair was blown up by the turbulent wind from time to time, revealing that his eyes below were unconsciously looking at the rearview mirror inside the car.
The time now is 13:00 in the afternoon, and they are on their way to "Dragon and Phoenix Garden". The purpose is to meet the clan leader of the Sima family and discuss some major events that will affect the future structure of the mixed-race world.
On this road full of mission, the scenery of the street will not change dramatically because of their mission and responsibility. The locust trees are still the same locust trees, the red walls are still the red walls, people are coming and going on the streets, and the Forbidden City The moat is still sparkling.
The atmosphere in the car was silent. If Lin Nian didn't take the initiative to pick up the topic, Li Huanyue would not make a sound. They could and should talk about things that were not suitable to talk about at the moment. This also led to the general atmosphere between the two. It is so rigid, with indifference and silence as the main tone, which is the argument between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen - inappropriate silence.
In this embarrassing but acceptable silence, they had to find something to kill time. Li Huanyue might be more relaxed, because she was sitting in the driver's seat, and driving was her job, which allowed her to put aside other things. All ideas.
But Lin Nian was a little more troublesome. He had to find a way to divert his attention, either by boringly thinking about the details of the subsequent meeting and what to say when he encountered difficulties, or like most people, when he had nothing to do, Just stare - stare at everything in front of you, and then use your thoughts to get through those difficult but common times in most of life's blank moments.
The vehicle was driving in an urban area surrounded by locust trees. Lin Nian drank water and stared at the rearview mirror inside the vehicle.
Aston Martin's rearview mirror is not special, just like the rearview mirror of an ordinary car. The vehicle is also driving at the moment, and nothing else can be seen in the rearview mirror. All that can be seen is Li Huo in the driver's seat. Yue’s eyebrows.
This may be the first time that Lin Nian pays attention to this girl's eyebrows so closely. Generally, there is nothing attractive about girls' eyebrows, but today's situation is different. The difference is that the owner of the eyebrows is Li Huanyue. The difference is also that It's still Li Hueyue who has put on light makeup.
Girls wearing makeup are not unusual, but Li Hueyue wearing makeup must be strange, especially since the other party's makeup techniques are not very good.
Lin Nian remembered that Lin Xian taught him some eyebrow-threading techniques when he was bored at home. Later, when he helped Su Xiaoqiang to draw eyebrows, he also verified the correctness of those techniques.
Let’s just talk about the most important part of makeup for women, eyebrows.
The most important thing about eyebrow painting is to be natural and not to let the eyebrows cover the emotions. In addition to preventing dust, the biggest function of eyebrows is actually to enhance the emotional expression of the human face. Both Gu Pan Shen Fei and Mei Fei Se Wu talk about the role of eyebrows in The role of emotional expression.
Li Hueyue's eyebrows have obviously been painted. It can be seen from the color. In Lin Nian's memory, the color of her eyebrows itself is black, which is a heroic eyebrow that is close to the sword eyebrow. What is different from the sword eyebrow is the heroic eyebrow. The eyebrows should be smoother and retain a certain degree of curvature, adding femininity to the look.
But the eyebrows I see now in the rearview mirror have been deliberately shaped into willow eyebrows, and the overall color is grayish blue, and even the eyeliner is the same color. If Lin Nian remembers correctly, this gray-blue eyebrow drawing habit is close to the trend of his parents' generation, and has been gradually eliminated by the times in modern times. The main reason is that the skin color of Asians is warmer, and gray-blue is placed as a cool color. The skin will look a little dirty.
But even so, in Lin Nian's memory, both Lin Xian and Su Xiaoqiang's eyebrow lines were of this cold color. The latter was because the girl learned her eyebrow-threading skills from her mother.
Su's mother is a Portuguese with relatively orthodox blood. Her skin color is cool and fair, and her cool-toned skin matches the gray-blue eyebrow line just right. Therefore, Su Xiaoqiang's usual makeup style in the past was more cool-toned and forest-colored, but it was different from Lin Nian's. When we were together, because of Lin Nian's personal preference, we always wore soft and light makeup for commuting.
As for Lin Xian, Lin Nian didn't know who taught Lin Xian her makeup skills. Maybe girls awaken their makeup memories when they get older. In short, her own makeup style is also cold-toned. Maybe this has something to do with her fair skin tone?
Lin Nian had asked Lin Xian this question before when she was raising her eyebrows. Lin Xian told her perfunctorily that it was taught by an elder. After all, gray-green eyebrow lines were more common in the generation of mothers and grandmothers. If you look carefully, you will find that Women of that era usually wore cool cyan eyeliner and eyebrow lines, because the trend of that era continued until it was eliminated by young people.
So based on the color of her eyebrows, Lin Nian can probably guess that the other party's eyebrow drawing skills were taught to her by someone like an elder? As for why someone didn't draw it for her in the courtyard, first of all, Lin Nian couldn't imagine that this girl would behave well and let people touch her face. Secondly, and the most obvious point that Lin Nian deduced from the above conclusion is that everyone who helps people draw eyebrows should have a little self-awareness - if you have poor skills and apply color to a girl's skin, you will be punished by a thousand cuts.
It was obvious that Li Hueyue's makeup today was limited to her eyebrows. Lin Nian didn't approve of it because her painting was really bad.
Let’s just talk about the color transition of this pair of willow eyebrows. From dark to light, the eyebrows should be the middle part of the eyebrows, the lower edge, the end of the eyebrows, and finally the upper edge. He clearly remembered that Lin Xian told him that this order of depth was special. The most important thing to pay attention to is lighting. This does not mean special lighting when taking photos or taking photos. When it comes to natural light, the basic light source is from top to bottom. The first point is the upper edge of the eyebrows. The color will be lighter due to the brightness, and the lower edge will be affected by the curvature of the eyebrows. The occlusion will be deeper.
It is obvious that Li Hueyue's eyebrows are drawn against the principle of lighting. The eyebrows on the upper edge are too heavy and too dark. Natural light penetrates the Aston Martin car window and falls on her face, which makes the color of the upper edge appear obvious. If it is too heavy, the entire eyebrow will look too unnatural when compared with the lower edge of the middle section, which violates the point of "covering facial emotions" mentioned at the beginning.
Then there is the problem of the technique of drawing the eyebrows. Not only is the color of the strokes too heavy, but the technique of drawing the strokes may also be problematic. On Su Xiaoqiang's face, Lin Nian was asked to draw the girl's eyebrows. After repeated attempts, he found that the correct eyebrow drawing technique should be to wipe it repeatedly, so that the color would be more uniform. If someone like Li Hueyue is obviously The eyebrows that are drawn out one stroke at a time will appear uneven in color.
There are more details, let’s just talk about eyebrow peaks. Lin Nian observed Li Hueyue’s face shape and found that he had a cool and heroic style. He should have followed a cold and severe line. He originally preferred the eyebrows between sword eyebrows and heroic eyebrows. It would have been nice if the shape was slightly tilted to either side, but the other party wanted to take the intellectual and gentle route (you can see the purpose of her makeup from Li Hueyue's clothes today) and went to draw a pair of willow eyebrows.
Li Huanyue's painting of Liu Mei today was not very good. As for the painting method of Liu Mei itself, Teacher Richard felt that he still had something to say, because Lin Xian is Liu Mei, and he himself may have a genetic problem and prefer Liu Mei instead of Liu Mei. It's Chu Zihang's straight, dark eyebrows. Lin Nian used his own eyebrows to compare the shape of Li Hueyue's eyebrows and felt that she probably didn't understand the three-point method. The entire curvature and shape of Liu Yemei's eyebrows were problematic.
At first glance outside the car, I think this girl is particularly beautiful today because she has a good foundation, which makes people ignore these flaws. When inside the car, a closer look through the rearview mirror reveals these bits and pieces of problems.
That is to say, Li Huoyue seemed to be driving seriously without leaving the corner of her eyes for Lin Nian, so Lin Nian dared to just stare at Li Hueyue in the rearview mirror, frowning, taking a sip of water from time to time, unconsciously sipping. Then he shook his head and tilted his head to observe the details of the makeup on Li Hueyue's face from different angles.
There is a sense of horror that during the final exam, the class teacher is standing behind you, drinking tea and shaking his head.
"Is there something on my face?" Li Huanyue, who was in the driver's seat, finally stopped talking and asked in a cold tone.
According to common sense, Li Hueyue is the kind of person who, even if she is changing clothes, if you break in, she will simply chop you off after changing clothes, instead of suddenly screaming and throwing a bra in your face. Get out of that style.
So if you just stare at her, it stands to reason that it won't arouse any opinions from her. She will usually ignore you and think that there is something wrong with your head. But it is obvious that Li Huanyue today is completely different - this can be seen from her clothes and makeup, so it is natural for her to start to care about other people's eyes and take the initiative to She said something hoping to get comments or opinions - at least this is how Lin Nian understood her words "There is something on my face".
So naturally he finally had the opportunity to say all the things he had been thinking about but had no chance to say: "Your eyebrows are a little longer, your face shape uses the three-point rule, and your eyes and eyebrows are too stretched and weakened." The line of your mandible will be weakened, and the three-dimensional facial features of you will be weakened. The color of the eyebrow peak is also too heavy and too inward. You are a young person. Although the eyebrow peak will be inward, it will make you look younger, but it will not be the same as you. The styles I walked today are in conflict. If you want to show yourself to be gentle and generous, you should point the eyebrow peak slightly outward. Based on the willow leaf eyebrow, drawing the eyebrow peak outward will make you look more stretched and generous. The distance between the brow and the tail of the eyebrow is also a little Question. Have you used an eyebrow pencil to connect the eyebrows before drawing them?"
".Connecting line? What is that?" Li Hueyue's expression was a bit horrifying - this was probably the first time Lin Nian saw such emotions on this guy's face. The Dragon Slayer King was burned to pieces by the opponent without even using a hand. So scared, she actually gave up when problems with her makeup were pointed out? There is some timidity in the eyes that I have never seen before?
"You?" Lin Nian glanced at the street outside. There wasn't much traffic. Maybe it was because it was outside the rush hour. He hesitated and asked, "Did you apply this makeup yourself? If I'm not mistaken."
Li Huanyue held the steering wheel with both hands and looked forward at the road. Although she wanted to appear calm and composed, after Lin Nian pointed out that it was just a problem with her eyebrows, she became a little unnatural and pretended to be calm. The ground nodded expressionlessly, "So what?"
So what, is this a couple quarreling?
"If you are going to meet someone important, so you put on makeup in advance to leave a special impression on the other person, I can help you." Lin Nian tried his best to put on his makeup in a very calm way that would not irritate the girl's self-esteem. goodwill expressed.
"Do you know how to put on makeup?" Li Huoyue was bored for a long time, and finally asked this question in a low voice. She was a little surprised, but she deliberately suppressed her weirdness.
"A little better than you." Lin Nian said truthfully.
He felt that he should be very polite. He was personally trained by Lin Xian and Su Xiaoqiang. In terms of makeup techniques, especially the techniques of applying makeup to people, although he couldn't compare with professional makeup artists, he could compare with the look on Li Hueyue's face. Compared with the painter of this makeup, it is 10 or even 9 points better.
Lin Nian didn't know where Li Hueyue's self-esteem was, but in his opinion, a girl like this who was strong and had a strong personality would suddenly dress up and put on make-up, but someone would point out the shortcomings of her careful preparation. , then she should be very frustrated or angry - this is his intuitive reaction to Li Hueyue's emotions.
"." Li Huanyue was silent for a long time in the driver's seat, so silent that Lin Nian felt that his proposal was a bit hasty, so he also fell silent, feeling that he had done something stupid and overstepped. It is indeed a taboo to have a casual relationship with Li Hueyue, and his relationship with Li Hueyue is not considered friendly to begin with.
The secret party's 'S' class put makeup on the orthodox 'Yue'. Just saying this kind of thing seems very black humor.
Lin Nian felt that he must have been chosen by the Eight Possessed God just now, but he had time to get out and immediately forgot about the matter.
The Aston Martin parked under the shade of the locust tree on the side of the road. Lin Nian, the co-pilot, said nothing and waited silently for the driver to take out a makeup box from a women's bag in the back seat.
He realized that he might know a little bit about makeup, but he really didn't know anything about women.
A woman should look good to those who please her.
Lin Nian didn't think that Li Huoyue was dressed like this today and dressed up carefully for himself. His self-awareness was not excessive to this extent. Of course, it was not ruled out that the orthodox wanted to play a beauty trap, but he really didn't think that Li Huoyue Yue is the material for this business. If an orthodox person has any brains, he will not do something as stupid as letting his own big killer go into the sea, which is not worth the gain.
Therefore, Lin Nian initially deduced that at the Longfeng Garden they went to this afternoon, in addition to Lin Nian himself chatting with the Sima family clan leader about some serious matters, there might also be people present who would make Li Huoyue, who was accompanying him, care from the bottom of his heart. The girl I saw now was carefully dressed and anxious.
The people Li Huoyue cares about are quite interesting.
Lin Nian couldn't imagine any succubus that would make Li Huoyue willing to smear his face with familiar paint, put on unsuitable regular clothes, and go to the meeting with full of trepidation. If such a man really existed, Lin Nian felt that he At least the last name is "Long". This also particularly aroused his curiosity, wanting to see who the person who made this female sword fairy care so much about was.
"Ready to meet someone?" Lin Nian took the makeup box that Li Huanyue handed over quietly. It had everything in it. Is the Himalaya Birkin in your car just used as a makeup bag? This is similar to using LV as a shopping bag.
Li Huanyue nodded and did not deny Lin Nian's speculation.
"Is that person important?"
Li Huoyue was quiet for a moment, then nodded.
"Male or female? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Li Huanyue didn't give an answer, but Lin Nian didn't mind. Anyway, he would always meet people when he got there.
He had suppressed his mother-in-law's feelings enough. While chatting with Li Hueyue calmly to relieve some of the awkward and weird atmosphere, he checked the contents of the makeup box. The good news is that you have everything you need. It shouldn’t be a big problem to just make up for it based on Li Hueyue’s makeup. The bad news is that if you want to do it all over again, you have to remove your makeup, but you have to have makeup remover to remove makeup, right? Have you ever seen a girl who puts on makeup and brings makeup remover with her when going out to meet people?
"Do I need to repaint it?" Li Huanyue grabbed a small bottle of makeup remover and looked at Lin Nian and asked calmly.
Lin Nian, the co-pilot, looked at her silently. Although he didn't know why the other party carried makeup remover at all times, he still nodded very nervously, "...that will be a big help."
