Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 179 Makeup
The second floor of this Red Sleeve Square is full of private rooms, Liu Ya knows in her heart what this place is, so of course she won't wander around.

But at this time, most of the doors of the rooms had already been opened, and the young girls sitting or standing in the room all looked curiously at Liu Ya passing by the door.

Liu Ya passed by a door, and a girl just came out. Seeing Liu Ya, she smiled and asked, "Ah, where did you come from, little sister? This is not a fun place. If you have nothing to do, go home quickly."

Liu Ya also smiled back, and said, "I'm here to put makeup on my sisters. Go talk to Qiniang."

"Little girl, do you know how to put on makeup? Why didn't you see you wearing a makeup box?" The girl looked Liu Ya up and down, and at last she saw that she was carrying a small burden, with a questioning expression on her face.

Liu Ya knew that she was really not professional enough, and she didn't even have a dressing box, so it was a bit of a stretch to insist that she put on makeup for others.

But she would not say that she was unprepared, but she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister, think about it, the things I prepared are not as good as those in your house. What's more, the set of things I prepared, I use this and that. , Hundreds of people, hundreds of mouths, all of them use my rouge lipstick, it’s not clean, right? Use the rouge powder in your house to put on your makeup, it’s for you alone, or your favorite color, How nice."

After listening to Liu Ya, the girl laughed.Covering her mouth with a handkerchief and smiling, she said: "Hehe, what you little girl said is quite reasonable. The rouge and lip gloss in my room are all a tael of silver in a small box, and the color is the most correct, little girl." Even small households can’t afford it. Even if you prepare something, I might not like it.”

Liu Ya quickly nodded in agreement.The girl laughed again, flicked the handkerchief, and said, "Okay, you're pretty smart, so let me put on some makeup first. Qiniang will come out later, and she must come to my room to talk first, so you can just drop by." Just talk to her."

As soon as Liu Ya heard it, she knew that this girl should be a red card.Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big shelf and such a big pomp.A box of rouge for one tael of silver is indeed not affordable for ordinary people.

Since this girl asked her to put on makeup, Liu Ya really wished for it.Liu Ya hurriedly followed her into the room and came to her dressing table.

The girl's dressing table is very large, made of mahogany and carved, and there are three large dressing boxes on it.The bronze mirror standing on the dressing table is not small, almost two feet in diameter.Next to it stood a full-height bronze mirror.

The girl sat down in front of the dressing table, pointed to the three dressing boxes and said: "The rouge and gouache are in the box on the far right, don't move the other two boxes, there are some precious things inside."

Liu Ya knew that the red card was worth a lot, so the things she used were naturally good.It is estimated that the other two makeup boxes are jewelry and the like, and they must be expensive.Naturally, she wouldn't move, so she would save trouble.

Liu Ya only moved the makeup box on the right forward, and then opened it to have a look.In fact, this is the first time Liu Ya has come into contact with ancient cosmetics, but she is good at makeup.Not to mention a simple make-up, even if she is asked to disguise herself, she can draw another look of herself.

So after just looking at it for a while, Liu Ya roughly understood what the things in this makeup box were for.The small box, which looks like a paste, should be lip gloss; the slightly larger box contains powder lumps, and the light red one is rouge, that is, blush; there is also a silver round box, flat, When opened, it smells like milky white face powder, and there is a small velvet puff inside; there are also a few charcoal pencils, which are used to draw eyebrows.

Checked all these things, whether it was rouge or lip gloss, there were several colors, and Liu Ya also checked them all.Then he turned his head and took a closer look at the girl's appearance.

To be honest, this girl is only eighteen or nine years old. She looks really good, but her complexion is not very good, and her skin is slightly dull.It is probably related to her life in the brothel.

However, there is no primer or concealer in this makeup box, so Liu Ya can only apply makeup for her according to the simplest steps.

But she didn't just apply powder and rouge in a few simple steps, but deliberately picked a little bit of rouge with her nails, blended it in the powder, and then powdered this girl.

"Hey, what do you mean by mixing rouge into the powder?" The girl felt strange and couldn't help asking.

Liu Ya smiled and said: "This powder is too white, it looks like extra skin when painted on the face, and it's not good-looking. Add a little light pink, which is similar to your skin color, sister. This can only make the skin delicate and delicate when rubbed on. It's white and red, isn't it pretty?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya wiped her fingertips with a charcoal pencil again, and then painted the charcoal color kneaded from her fingertips on the sides of the nose and cheeks, creating the simplest shadow.

When Liu Ya wiped the charcoal color on the girl's face, she resisted slightly, and asked again: "What is this for? It's for thrush eyebrows, but I haven't seen anyone put it on the nose."

"You'll know it when you draw it, so that the shadows on both sides make the bridge of the nose look higher. The shadows on the cheeks can make the cheeks look smaller. And don't worry, I won't draw a big painted face for you." Liu Ya said After finishing, he asked again: "Sister, do you have honey?"

"What do you want honey for again?" The girl looked curious again, but looking at the two steps that Liu Ya had just drawn for her in the mirror, it seemed that her complexion was really good, and she said, "Okay, just trust you." Back. I'll ask someone to bring you honey."

After finishing speaking, the girl yelled towards the door, and then a little girl came over to answer.She ordered the little girl to fetch honey, then turned around and asked Liu Ya: "Little girl, which family do you belong to? Why haven't I seen you here before?"

Liu Ya took the opportunity to say: "To tell you the truth, I'm just passing by. Actually, I'm not only here to put on makeup for my sisters, I also want to sell something."

"Huh? What are you selling?" The girl pointed at the room and said, "My room is the best in Hongxiufang. Although I don't want everything, I only have leftovers for daily things, but I don't have any. It’s missing. But you tell me, what are you selling?”

Liu Ya smiled and said: "I can't say that right now. When I finish my sister's makeup, if you are satisfied, besides giving a reward, you can also see if my item is good, and if you want to buy it. If You think things are good, but don’t feel that the price is expensive.”

Hearing Liu Ya's trickery, the girl smiled and said: "Little girl is really good at bluffing people. I still want to see what good things you have. Don't worry, I am not short of money. As long as it is fancy, I will buy it for you." Affordable."
