Chapter 1130 Teacher Richard
Lin Nian took a sip of water, gulping down the sour taste of bean juice in his mouth. He sat in the passenger seat of the Aston Martin. He was wearing a seat belt very properly. Because the car was not open, the right window was mostly open. His right elbow was leaning on the curved corner of the car glass. The wind from the spoiler blew his hair from time to time, exposing his eyes that were unconsciously looking at the rearview mirror inside the car.
The time was 13:00 in the afternoon. They were on their way to "Longfeng Garden" to meet with the Sima clan leader to discuss some major events that would affect the future world pattern of the mixed-bloods.
On this road full of mission, the scenery of the street would not change dramatically because of their mission and responsibility. The locust trees were still the same locust trees, the red walls were still the same red walls, people were coming and going on the street, and the moat of the Forbidden City was still sparkling.
The atmosphere in the car was silent. If Lin Nian did not take the initiative to bring up a topic, Li Huoyue would not speak. What they could talk about and what they should talk about were not suitable for the moment. This also led to the atmosphere between the two being always so stiff. The main tone of indifference and silence was the argument between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen - not talking at the wrong time.
In this awkward but acceptable silence, they always had to find something to kill time. Li Huoyue might be a little more relaxed because she was sitting in the driver's seat and driving was her job, which allowed her to throw away all other thoughts.
But Lin Nian was a little more troublesome. He had to find a way to divert his attention. He either boredly thought about the details of the meeting later and the counterattack words when he encountered difficulties, or like most people, he would stare when he had nothing to do - stare at everything in front of him, and then diverge his thoughts to spend those difficult but common blank moments in life.
The vehicle was driving in the city full of locust trees around the city. Lin Nian stared at the rearview mirror in the car while drinking water.
Aston Martin's rearview mirror is not special, just like the rearview mirror of an ordinary car. The car is also moving at the moment. Nothing else can be seen in the rearview mirror. All that can be seen is the eyebrows of Li Huoyue in the driver's seat.
This may be the first time that Lin Nian has paid so close attention to the eyebrows of this girl. Generally, the eyebrows of girls are not attractive, but the situation today is different. The difference is that the owner of the eyebrows is Li Huoyue, and the difference is that Li Huoyue is still wearing light makeup.
Girls who wear makeup are not rare, but Li Huoyue who wears makeup must be rare, especially. The other party's makeup technique is not very good.
Lin Nian remembered that Lin Xian taught him some techniques for drawing eyebrows when he was bored at home. Later, when he helped Su Xiaoqiang draw eyebrows, he also verified the correctness of those techniques.
Let's just talk about the most important part of women's makeup, eyebrows.
The most important point of drawing eyebrows is naturalness. Don't let eyebrows cover emotions. In addition to dust prevention, the biggest use of eyebrows is actually to enhance the emotional expression of the face. Looking around and dancing with joy both talk about the role of eyebrows in emotional expression.
Li Huoyue's eyebrows were obviously painted, as can be seen from the color. In Lin Nian's memory, the color of her eyebrows was black, close to the heroic eyebrows of sword eyebrows. Unlike sword eyebrows, the heroic eyebrows are smoother, retaining a certain arc, adding femininity to the heroic spirit.
But now the eyebrows seen in the rearview mirror have been deliberately trimmed into willow-leaf eyebrows, and the overall color is gray-green, and even the eyeliner is the same tone. If Lin Nian remembers correctly, this gray-green eyebrow painting habit is close to the trend of the parents' generation, and has gradually been eliminated by the times in modern times. The main reason is that the skin color of Asians is warmer, and gray-green as a cold color will appear a bit dirty on the skin.
But even so, in Lin Nian's memory, whether it is Lin Xian or Su Xiaoqiang, their eyebrow line color is this cold tone, the latter is because the girl's eyebrow painting technique is inherited from her mother.
Su's mother is of Portuguese descent, with a cold white complexion. Cold skin is suitable for gray-green eyebrow lines, so Su Xiaoqiang's makeup style used to be cold-colored. It's just that when she was with Lin Nian, she always wore soft and light makeup for commuting because of Lin Nian's personal preference.
As for Lin Xian, Lin Nian didn't know who taught her makeup skills. Maybe girls will awaken their makeup memory when they reach a certain age. In short, her makeup style is also cold-colored. Maybe it has something to do with her fair skin?
Lin Nian asked this question when Lin Xian was drawing eyebrows before. Lin Xian perfunctorily said that it was taught by an elder. After all, gray-green eyebrow lines are also common in the generation of mothers and grandmothers. If you look carefully, you will find that women of that era usually have cold-green eyeliners and eyebrow lines, because the trend of that era has continued until it was eliminated by young people.
So based on the color of the eyebrows, Lin Nian can probably guess that the other party's eyebrow drawing skills were taught to her by an elder? As for why no one helped her draw eyebrows in the courtyard, first of all, Lin Nian couldn't imagine that this girl would be so polite as to let someone touch her face. Secondly, and the most obvious point that Lin Nian deduced from the above conclusion is that everyone who draws eyebrows for others should have a little self-awareness - if you have poor skills and still want to change the color of a girl's skin, you deserve to be punished.
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 eyebrow, the lower edge, the end of the eyebrow, 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, the correct eyebrow drawing technique should be to wipe it repeatedly, so that the color will be more uniform. If someone like Li Hueyue is obviously The eyebrows that are drawn 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 it was a heroic and cold style. She should have taken a cold and severe line. She originally preferred the eyebrows between the sword eyebrows and the 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 advantages of your three-dimensional facial features will be weakened. The color of the brow peak will also be too heavy and too inward. You are a young person. Although the inward brow peak will make you look younger, 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 ever used an eyebrow pencil to draw a connecting line?”
".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.
"Can you put on makeup?" Li Huoyue was silent for a long time, and finally asked this question in a low voice. She was a little bit unbelievable, 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 trained by Lin Xian and Su Xiaoqiang. Although he could not compare with professional makeup artists in terms of makeup techniques, especially the techniques of putting on makeup for others, he was ten points or even nine points better than the painter of Li Huoyue's face.
Lin Nian didn't know where Li Huoyue's self-esteem bottom line was, but in his opinion, if such a strong girl with a strong personality suddenly dressed up and put on makeup one day, but someone pointed out the shortcomings of her careful preparation, she should be very frustrated or angry - this was his intuitive reaction to Li Huoyue's emotions.
"." Li Huoyue was silent for a long time in the driver's seat, so silent that Lin Nian felt that his proposal was a bit rash, so he also kept silent, thinking that he had done something stupid. It is indeed a taboo to talk about deep things with someone you have just met. The relationship between him and Li Huoyue was not friendly.
The secret party ‘S’ class made up the orthodox ‘Yue’, and this kind of thing is very black humor just by saying it.
Lin Nian felt that he must have been chosen by the god of gossip just now, but he still had time to get out of it and forget about it immediately.
The Aston Martin stopped under the shade of the locust tree on the side of the road. Lin Nian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nothing and waited silently for the driver to take out a makeup box from a woman’s bag in the back seat.
He found that he might know a little about makeup, but he really didn’t understand women at all.
Women dress up to please themselves.
Lin Nian didn’t think that Li Huoyue wore this outfit today and dressed up carefully for herself. 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 Li Huoyue was suitable for this job. If the orthodox people had brains, they would not do such a stupid thing as letting their own big killer go into the sea.
Therefore, Lin Nian initially inferred that, in addition to Lin Nian himself and the Sima family clan leader chatting about some serious matters, there might be someone present at the Dragon and Phoenix Garden where they went this afternoon that would make Li Huoyue, who was accompanying him, care about him from the bottom of her heart, which led to the girl he saw now dressing up carefully and feeling uneasy.
The person that Li Huoyue cares about is interesting.
Lin Nian couldn't imagine what kind of succubus could make Li Huoyue willing to smear the familiar paint on her face, wear the ordinary clothes that she was not used to, and go to meet with trepidation. If there really is such a man, Lin Nian thinks that his last name must be "Long". This also aroused his curiosity, and he wanted 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 Huoyue handed over quietly, and the things inside were all available. And you put a Himalaya Birkin in your car just to use it as a makeup bag? This is similar to using LV as a shopping bag.
Li Huoyue 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? If you don't want to, you don't have to say it."
Li Huoyue did not give an answer, but Lin Nian did not mind. Anyway, he would meet people when he got there.
He had suppressed his gossiping heart enough. While chatting with Li Huoyue peacefully to ease some of the awkward and weird atmosphere, he checked the contents of the makeup box. The good news is that everything is there. It should not be a problem to simply remedy it on the basis of Li Huoyue's makeup. The bad news is that if you want to start all over again, you have to remove your makeup, but you must have makeup remover to remove your makeup, right? Have you ever seen a girl who wears makeup and brings makeup remover when she goes out to meet people.
"Do you need to reapply?" Li Huoyue grabbed a small bottle of makeup remover and looked at Lin Nian and asked calmly.
Lin Nian looked at her silently in the co-pilot seat. Although he didn't know why the other party would carry makeup remover at all times, he still nodded very nervously, ". That would be a great help."
