Chapter 1272: Family Is Always Reliable

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Family Is Always Reliable

This is equivalent to an on-site lesson, and it’s a one-on-one session with a master-level makeup artist.

So, Li Xiaoyun seized the opportunity, asking questions whenever she had doubts.

"Now it’s cold, and B City is particularly dry. If we apply so little, won’t the foundation be less adhesive?" Li Xiaoyun asked.

"It won’t." Shi Xiaoya had grown familiar with Li Xiaoyun.

Zhao Dingli had introduced Li Xiaoyun to them before.

Ye Fei also pulled Li Xiaoyun into their little group chat.

They had a separate little group chat where they often talked about girl topics.

They found it inconvenient to discuss in the larger group.

As their conversations grew more frequent, they became more familiar with each other.

Shi Xiaoya explained with a smile, "If you apply too much skincare, the face becomes too moisturized, which ironically makes the makeup non-adherent. It’s like putting oil on your face and then applying foundation, the foundation would just sit on the skin without blending well."

"Therefore, to make your makeup adhere well, less is actually more," Shi Xiaoya said, "Just layer on the moisturizing mist several times, let the skin sufficiently absorb the moisture, ensuring facial humidity."

"Also, applying a moisturizing primer helps. Moreover, this season, you should switch to a more hydrating foundation which inherently has moisturizing effects."

Li Xiaoyun nodded like a diligent student, indicating she noted it down.

After doing basic skincare for Ye Fei, Shi Xiaoya sprayed some setting mist in a "mi" pattern on Ye Fei’s face.

Shi Xiaoya proactively explained without waiting for Li Xiaoyun to ask, "The weather is dry now, and Ye Fei’s skin isn’t oily, so I used the setting mist for pre-makeup hydration, and it also helps the makeup cling better to the skin."

Shi Xiaoya waited for a while, allowing the setting mist to absorb into Ye Fei’s skin.

She sprayed the setting mist on a damp beauty blender: "This also helps make the base makeup more adherent."

Li Xiaoyun nodded, readily taking out her phone to record the key points.

Shi Xiaoya applied foundation to Ye Fei using the beauty blender: "Like this, starting from the center of the face, blend outward with the residual foundation on the sponge. It creates a more natural shadow transition. Bright in the center, slightly darker on the sides, making the makeup look more natural."

"Now spray the setting mist once more to set the makeup firmly; this is what we call the sandwich setting method," Shi Xiaoya explained.

Seeing Li Xiaoyun’s eagerness to learn.

Shi Xiaoya didn’t hold back.

She explained each step to Li Xiaoyun.

But since the model was Ye Fei, she tailored the makeup to Ye Fei’s specific features for the lesson.

So, the teaching wasn’t all-inclusive.

As a makeup artist, one must tailor improvements to each person’s unique face shape and facial strengths and weaknesses.

Just the base makeup alone, Shi Xiaoya spent nearly an hour on Ye Fei.

Then proceeded to do the rest.

While Shi Xiaoya did Ye Fei’s makeup, an assistant worked on her hair.

By the time Shi Xiaoya finished the makeup, the assistant had nearly completed the hairdo.

Shi Xiaoya made the final adjustments to the hairstyle.

Then, with everyone’s assistance, they dressed Ye Fei in her traditional wedding attire.

This was what she’d wear when Zhao Gushen came to pick her up.

Once they arrived at Shengyue, she’d change into her wedding gown.

The makeup and hairstyle would also be adjusted according to the outfit changes.

Ye Fei sighed at how exhausting it was to organize a wedding.

Li Xiaoyun, just observing, was slightly regretful.

She even felt a bit reluctant to have a wedding.

When everything was ready, it was already daylight.

It was already 6:30 in the morning.

In half an hour, Zhao Gushen would arrive.

Ye Fei let out a breath.

Hua Ciyue and the others had also gathered here.

However, there was no action to block the door.

Except for Li Xiaoyun, who would dare to actually block Zhao Gushen’s door?

"They’re here!" Shang Heyue, who had been watching by the window, finally saw the car convoy pull up downstairs and quickly ran back, shouting.

Ye Fei calmly waited.

Li Xiaoyun stood at the door with Hua Ciyue and the others.

They didn’t block the door; the front door was wide open.

As soon as Zhao Gushen arrived, he saw Li Xiaoyun.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Seeing Li Xiaoyun’s cheerful smile, Zhao Gushen called out with difficulty, "Fourth Aunt."

"Good boy." Li Xiaoyun was daring today.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Zhao Dingli was right next to Zhao Gushen, making exaggerated eye movements towards Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun wasn’t shy, straightforwardly extending her hand: "We won’t trouble you with riddles. Just give us the red envelopes, and you can take Ye Fei."

Listening to Li Xiaoyun’s seemingly mercantile words from the bedroom, Ye Fei couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

Even Mrs. Li laughed to tears: "This child!"

Zhao Dingli, without hesitation, pulled out several red envelopes.

After all, it was Zhao Gushen’s money, so he felt no pressure handing them out.

Being able to let Li Xiaoyun earn some pocket money truly made him happy.

After each person received a red envelope, Li Xiaoyun kept her promise and called out, and everyone moved to the sides, allowing Zhao Gushen and his group to enter.

Zhao Gushen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt!" Zhao Gushen said, "It’s great to rely on family."

He had been worried about having to perform some difficult games.

Zhao Gushen had even secretly searched online for common challenges grooms faced when picking up brides.

For physical challenges, Zhao Gushen had practiced quite a bit.

Like doing 40 push-ups.

Or frog-leaping from the first floor to the doorstep.

Etc.

Unexpectedly, none of it was needed.

Although it felt a bit like his practice was wasted, Zhao Gushen was still very happy.

He went to Ye Fei’s room and saw her sitting gracefully by the bedside in her traditional wedding attire, her smile gentle and attractive.

There’s always a special ladylike and gentle aura to traditional wedding attire.

At this moment, only one phrase came to Zhao Gushen’s mind.

A fair lady is a gentleman’s true pursuit.

Zhao Gushen walked over, his mind blank, even buzzing.

He couldn’t think of anything, so he simply said, "I’m here to get you."

The blush on Ye Fei’s face was either natural or the color of her blush.

But it looked beautiful.

Ye Fei extended her arms toward Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Gushen then scooped Ye Fei up in his arms.

Since everything was going smoothly, Zhao Dingli and those who came along barely had time to eat.

They indeed came on an empty stomach.

Smelling the aroma of dumplings and noodle broth, their stomachs grumbled even more.

Right then, they had to quickly eat a few bites and stuff themselves with dumplings.

Their mouths were stuffed full.

Fortunately, though Mrs. Li didn’t have experience in marrying off a daughter, she was thoughtful enough.

As they were leaving, she quickly called them back.
