Chapter 38 Makeup and Love

Originally wanted to sit on the sofa over there, but there was a couple hugging and inconvenient to disturb, so I sat on the bar counter.

In the afternoon, I listened to a few gentle and slightly sad songs on the table and fell asleep. At around four or five o'clock, I was refreshed and got up to prepare.

"Confucianism Beyond Ideas" has a very elegant appearance. Recently, I have opened two books on life aesthetics in the Song Dynasty. I want to bring a little bit of simple and elegant makeup.

The hills overlapped and the golden lights faded, and the clouds on the temples wanted to save the fragrant and snowy cheeks. The Bodhisattva Man, who was looking at Mei Daikao and thinking of Wen Gunshou, decided to draw a small mountain eyebrow, but he had no idea.I asked Xiaomo how to do Xiaoshanmei, and the netizen said he didn’t know, and recommended me to read Xiaohongshu. I said, I didn’t have enough memory to download it, and I even uninstalled Zhihu recently, so I stopped.

I had my eyebrows trimmed a few weeks ago, and the guy said my eyebrows are well shaped, and I only need to draw on the ends of my eyebrows.I didn't wear much makeup before, and I usually just put on a layer of lipstick. Today, I am interested and start to try it.

The makeup steps are still complicated, but I am lazy, I only do a few simple steps, the skin tone is uneven, and after applying a thin layer of foundation, this time I did not use powdered powder, but ordinary loose powder, which is purple in tone, makeup powder In the examination, Jin Cuibao's "Gu Jin Zhu" was quoted: "The people in Emperor Wei Wen's palace absolutely love, there are four people, Mo Qiongshu, Xue Yelai, Tian Shangyi, and Duan Qiaoxiao, who are by his side day and night. ...Qiao Xiao began to brush his face with brocade clothes and silk shoes as purple powder.How did Qiaoxiao think of purple powder? It turns out that yellow-faced people use purple powder as a primer to cover up their yellowness. I know why my roommate's concealer palette is purple. I just learned this common sense of makeup today. It turns out to be the wisdom of the ancients.

According to the steps of ordinary delicate urban girls, there are about a dozen steps from skin care to powder application, but because it is too heavy, I can’t figure it out. I only have three steps: lotion, foundation, and loose powder.

Baoyu once edited "There is a stone named Dai in the West, which can replace the ink of thrush." ​​My eyebrow pencil is gray and black, and the previous one is the machete Luodai.In ancient times, "green" was a primary color, which was divided into black, blue, green, emerald, green, etc., from deep to light.My gray tone is probably the "green" color of midwinter pines and cypresses and late spring forests, rather than the heavier "pale" color.Although modern technology makes it cheap, it should be much better than ancient precious things such as snails. Time has passed, and the excellent things at that time are now available to us ordinary women.It's been a few weeks since my last brow trim, and it's okay to have a little hair growing out.

Today, only the end of the eyebrow is thrush. I stretched it lightly, and the peaks and turns when writing with a brush are actually very good!Turning around, Xiao Mo said: Look at the eyebrows I just painted!Friends sigh: great.

Then there is eye makeup. French makeup has the habit of light eye makeup and heavy red lips. Without concealer (ancient Chinese women light eye makeup and heavy eyebrow makeup), it can bring out a simple and elegant French elegance.I saw it mentioned in the book, Han Lingxuan's "Zhao Feiyan Biography" contains: Hede Xinmu, anointing nine tunes and aloe fragrance.For curly hair, it is named Xinji; for thin eyebrows, it is named Yuanshandai; Shi Xiaozhu, it is named Lanaizhuang.The gentle and casual classical beauty coincides with French laziness.

The eye sockets are painted with a light pink base, which is smudged back and forth.Then use a smaller brush to dip a darker powder, and then swipe a narrow and shallow one. In the last step, I use the maple color from the eyeshadow palette I bought last year to swipe on the folds of the double eyelids.This plate is not very ordinary, but I like its name, "Romanticism", romanticism.

Poetic dwelling, poetic life.

I don't use mascara, sometimes the eye area will be darkened in a blink of an eye with it, and more importantly, I focus on "simplification".During the picnic, it was said that my hair was thick and stiff, even if she brushed my eyelashes, they couldn't hang down, and my hair couldn't be curled up.

The eyelash curler was lightly curled. It felt too urban and not old-fashioned enough, so I rubbed it down with my hands.

I read a few articles last night, which were written by Lu Zailiang from the Department of Philosophy. I haven’t heard from him for a long time. It turned out that he was not traveling in the clouds, but went to graduate school. He must be chasing me intentionally. meaning.

He told me that undergraduates often take walks on the campus in the early morning, because the world is open and there is only one person.

Speaking of studying literature, history and philosophy, it is best to have a conversation together. I think the tea parties held by Tang Ji in the old days were probably the fun of this, and they enjoyed chatting.But there are very few friends, so I read a few more articles. I was a little strenuous in the first reading, but it gradually became clearer.

Then contouring, very lightly sweeping the shadow of the nose, my contouring palette is called "Luohua Nongying", a three-color palette, I only use the last shadow.Zhang Xian is really interesting. He has been a petty official all his life, but he has heard the saying "the clouds break through the moon, and the flowers make shadows". The wind is uncertain, and the people are quiet at the beginning. I have seen the leaves of begonias grow these days, and I should thank me in a while The light is sprinkled all over the path.Most East Asian women have low nose bridges, and I am no exception. It is useless to do more repairs. It is better to keep the original shape, and then randomly skip a little light-colored bronzer-colored butter repair powder on the cheeks. The color is so light that it seems to draw a lonely .

Blush, named "Luohua Feixia Rouge" in the palm, at first I thought it was an elegant term for falling flowers, or it was a marketing gimmick to "Luoyang" with a bit of ancient meaning. Said, it turned out to be a peony.Before I bought it, I always thought that the blush was powdery, but the two on the table were not.

According to the book, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, beef marrow and pig pancreas were mixed into the rouge powder to make it a thick and lubricating ointment. The advantage is that the makeup is not easy to fade with tears.However, Tangtang showed a video a while ago, the content was that a woman used Chanel's jelly air cushion, and after crying, there were two pale tears on her face, she really died of laughter.Of course, we can't watch it all as fragmented and funny clips. It tells us that beautiful women should not cry, and they must be cruel, otherwise they will be smudged and laugh out loud.

This color is relatively plain, pinkish, and slightly dignified. I lightly tapped a few strokes on the left and right cheekbones, and followed the method taught by Zhongzhong before, and lightly tapped a little on the nose and chin. Saying this looks more gentle.

That boy, but I didn't think about it, I didn't think about him, and the time of acquaintance was very short, maybe because there were other thoughts buried in my heart.Yeah, he's good enough, and somewhat like my ghost.Facing the mirror blankly, after putting on make-up, my eyes seemed to be brighter and more airy, how were people in ancient times.The prosperous scene in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" emerges. This is a good TV series. Although the original work is not good, the screenwriter has spent a lot of painstaking efforts to change it, and the director has also worked hard. The play is a wonderful work. Since 12 years, I I've seen it no less than ten times.When one of the concubines and even the palace people are dressing in the mirror, they often have something on their minds, and there is some expectation or loneliness in their eyes.Fendai of the Six Palaces lost her color when she looked back and smiled, recalling the sentence shared yesterday, "If I lose Qilian Mountain, my cattle and sheep will not live; if I lose Yanzhi Mountain, my women will have no color." "September" is my My favorite poem, and the song "September" changed by the blind singer Zhou Yunpeng is my favorite song.I used to think that "making my women colorless" was just related to the intention of "plundering" and "robbing women and children". It turned out that there was another layer of red and blue flowers on the economic crops, so I talked to him, and this person said, "Xiao Mei, this knowledge is very important, thank you for providing me with a new way of thinking."

I like to take a walk at school in the early morning and explore various buildings, because some places can only be visited at night.Yes, the empty campus is owned by one person, how quiet and refreshing it is, thinking of Tang Ji who stayed on the campus many years ago during the summer vacation, with so few people, I am so happy, but I can't see him for the whole summer vacation.According to Liang, walking in the dormitory building at night, passing through different floors, there will be a sense of absurdity, like the sense of flight when thinking.I am afraid of the dark, and the dark night is not very friendly to women, so he said that he likes the dark the most, and then talked about movies, and actually mentioned a few niche horror movies that I hadn’t seen (because I said it must be myself watch a lot of horror movies).A very shit and fascinating movie, "Confused Romance", I really haven't seen it, it's a failure, it's probably the death worship in German culture and a little romantic feeling, and many more.

It seems that the steps are almost the same. It is quite simple. What is it called? ".Then, which lipstick do you use?

The philosopher said that next week he would go to a distant place to play and see a classmate and roommate who was a teaching assistant. I was amazed at how he was so leisurely, so he didn’t answer his lectures and just read idle books every day (it turns out that the life of a graduate student is like this), and suddenly came a sentence " But one day someone will control me." I didn't know what to say. After a long time, he added "For example, my mentor" and asked me if I usually travel far. I said that I only walked or drove around Sioux City. He When it comes to undergraduates, a person often travels far away, to Qufu, to Haining to see the sea, but it is a round trip on the same day.

I bought the lipstick I used in the picnic last time. The lip glaze is not as thick as the lipstick. This one has a weird, delicious flower milk cake taste.The first time I applied it, the color was very dark, and I didn't use lip liner, cotton swab or anything like that, so I just smacked my lips, and then wiped it away with my hands.It was a little crooked, and I changed the other hand to wipe it, but I forgot that this hand was already stained just now, so I accidentally blurred a touch of pear red on the skin at the corner of the mouth.I remember, there is a Jane in Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu". She puts on her lipstick in front of the mirror, and then there is a loud noise outside, she frightens her hand and shakes her red lips and slashes her cheeks. It is probably that scene, quite silly.

He talked about the style of inheritance in the field of Western philosophy research in China from Zhang Shiying. I have not dabbled too much, so I said that Hegel only read Wang Yuanhua's book, and there is another book in the back that has turned a few pages and rushed to the library before it expires. After returning it, I talked about Wang Yuanhua and his classical studies, and then mentioned another older scholar in Shanghai, Xiong Shili, whom I had never read.

Zai Liang said, "School girls can come and play with me." When it comes to ancient Chinese literature, I recommend several New Confucians, but Mou Zongsan, Tang Junyi, Zhang Junmai, Lao Siguang and others have not read it.I said I don't like going out.

Use a hair straightener to lightly bring down the collapsed bangs on both sides. Tangtang criticized that there is no hairstyle at all, just a simple ponytail. Don’t be afraid of being blown up by the wind when riding a bike. It was tied together to show that it was also a hairstyle.When I was in middle school, a few friends said that my side face sometimes looked like a maid in the Republic of China.

When I went out to ask my friend how her "Song-style Su Zuo's makeup look" was like today, she frowned: "My silly Meier, your fucking makeup is useless again today, ah Mi Lida, moo!"

He said, "I'd love to go for a walk with you," and asked if I could be called by my nickname.Maybe, one day I will board the high-speed rail to visit this senior, maybe he happened to pass by Sioux City, how will I know in the future, I don’t have any strong feelings or love at the moment.Just because he seems to be hinting at something, seems like a good choice, like the ones that Elena thinks about when she first meets Pietro in the Naples tetralogy, if I will.Not to mention the hypocritical people with a brilliant tongue, it is rare to be able to chat and understand certain corners.

In fact, it was just a few more conversations with him yesterday, but the recent sweet dreams have nothing to do with him.

The coffee I bought a few days ago arrived. ILLY’s medium-roasted coffee powder, 250g canned, I couldn’t wait to brew it when I got it in the dormitory. It smells so good!It is not as sour and bitter as instant mellow coffee. It has a charcoal roasting feeling that makes people feel aftertaste. Although several tablespoons of coffee powder are picked, the limit of its bitterness is only the layer of fragrance, which is very delicious.However, there was a lot of dross, so I knew it was going to be filtered, but I ate the dregs.After choking and coughing a few times, Xiao Mo said that he should not be so naive, and suggested that the coffee grounds can be collected and made into coffee sachets, which is very, very good.

Playing Ren Suxi's "I Want You", the single is cheerful, but sad on the screen.The heroine Zhang Yiman's despair is sour, alas, I can't remember clearly.The lyrics of the promotional song she cooperated with Lao Lang were slightly changed, "I want to watch you make up / the wind blows this night... / I look at the moon in a foreign land / send you beautiful clothes / look at you with yellow decals in front of the mirror", Liang Sicheng Waiting for Lin to get dressed outside the dormitory at the University of Pennsylvania, it took a long time, but who would be watching me get dressed?

It seems that sometimes I think too much in a daze, but it’s okay. In the words of the song, it may be the sultry night scenery, which produces many ripples, and soon they will be faintly dispersed. Patience and Calmness.

It's just a state of mind for a period of time. Since it has existed, there is no need to deny it or obsess over it. "It's just the state of mind at that time", this is the mantra, which I learned from my father ten years ago.The wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon have been the same since ancient times, and I only live in the present moment.

It was already 1:4, I walked out of the dormitory, and rushed to the second phase. Buildings 5-26 were closed because of the venue for the final exam, and Building 4 was probably the one behind them. At 11:6, the night had already fallen. The evening wind is cold.I forgot which classroom I went to look at the poster, April 30th/[-]:[-]... Hey, few buildings turned on the lights, what date is it today... Years go by, I don’t know the time, and I don’t care.May eternity be so peaceful and calm.

Holding my forehead with my hands, I watched the coffee grounds in the cup settle to the bottom like tea leaves. I will put them on the balcony to dry in the sun tomorrow, and they should be able to be made into sachets in a few days.

April 4, night
