Chapter 23 How to Cope with the Dark Light

When we arrived at the exhibition hall where the big show was located, the time was six o'clock in the evening.There were only two hours left before the show, but the atmosphere inside was quite strange.

Sister Tu was running around in a hurry, when she saw Yan Weiran appearing, she rushed up and grabbed her hand, and said, "Weiman, come with me quickly, find a way!"

"What's the matter, Sister Tu? Take your time." Yan Weiran asked while quickly following her inside.

Sister Tu took a look at Wei Zexi, but she didn't recognize her. She guessed that the person who accompanied her should be her boyfriend, so she nodded her head and said to Yan Weiran: "A few days ago, there was a thunderstorm, and the nearby power substation There was a fault, so the power supply facilities in this area are not stable recently. In order to ensure safety, the exhibition hall re-examined and dismissed the light lines we set up before. We are now facing a situation where only more than half of the lights can be turned on, especially the most important thing is, The upper sets of bright light stands were removed. Now we are trying to make sure the clothes look good, but the faces of the models will definitely be less lit than before!"

Yan Weiran pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said, "Then, the original makeup needs to be adjusted?"

"Yes, if the lighting cannot be guaranteed, the original makeup will definitely not be able to show the original effect."

"I'll try my best to find a simple way to modify it on the original makeup. Are the makeup artists here?" Yan Weiran said, walking quickly to the backstage, looking at several makeup artists who were standing or sitting anxiously gossiping. They swept over and clapped their hands twice, motioning for everyone to come over.

Pandora was also in the crowd, she saw Wei Zexi behind Yan Weiran at a glance, moved to his side in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Wei, why are you here?"

"I was invited to watch this big show." Wei Zexi said confidently.

Pandora gave him a "Then you came too early" expression.

Of course Wei Zexi pretended not to see it.

"Find someone to go on stage and try it first." Sister Tu looked around, and Pandora quickly raised her hand and said, "Let me come, I'm about the same height, and the lamp above is still being dismantled, what if something happens to the models?" manage?"

As Pandora said, Dayi climbed onto the runway in awe-inspiring manner, and asked everyone to actually check it out in the auditorium.

There is indeed a problem with the lighting, and it is quite serious. After the main lighting on the top was removed due to hidden dangers, the lights gathered in the middle and lower parts illuminated the clothes, and at the same time, the makeup was dull and blurred due to the light from the bottom to the top. , The shadows distort the proportions of the facial features. This kind of lighting method used in ghost movies makes the model's face look quite weird.

Yan Weiran pursed her lips and thought for a moment. The most important thing right now is to overcome the problem of weak light at the top and strong light at the bottom, and reverse this disadvantage.But what kind of makeup can resist such lighting?
In less than two hours, Feuillage's big show this season is about to begin.

The make-up stylist who was far away in Paris naturally did not expect such a situation to emerge on the scene, and the makeup he designed could not resist such a situation at all.And Yan Weiran, who is on the scene now, as the chief makeup artist of this big show, must take all the responsibilities related to makeup.

"Well, all of you come with me and watch carefully. I will demonstrate once, and if it succeeds, you will immediately do imitation makeup." If not, the end of this show will be the moment when I, as the chief, will become a laughing stock in the industry—but Yan Weiran suppressed this sentence in his throat and did not say it.

During the last makeup test, Yan Weiran had already seen the main design of this season's Feuillage in detail.The clothing is in a simple and capable style, so accordingly, Yan Weiran abandoned the more colorful colors.Originally, the makeup on the runway should be brighter, because the lighting will be particularly strong, and the makeup will be light, but now there is no overpowering lighting to help her.

"Pandora, come here." Yan Weiran waved to Pandora in order to avoid unsuitable makeup and had to remove it again, beckoning her to come to his side, "Be a model for me."

Pandora was elated, and immediately sat in front of her: "Zhong, come on!"

Yan Weiran put her hands in the makeup prepared by Feuillage, looked up at the brilliant mercury lamp on the high ceiling, and took a long, deep breath.

That tone filled her chest in silence for five or six seconds. When she exhaled slowly, she had already prepared the appropriate makeup in her mind. She reached out and grabbed the primer next to her, and began to apply makeup to Pandora in front of her. .

Pandora sat obediently in front of Yan Weiran, not daring to move, for fear of affecting her movements.

The staff and models arrived one after another, and the background began to be noisy.The sound of pulling the gantry frame, the sound of running fast, the sound of urging and calling, all in disorder.However, around Yan Weiran, there was silence.

Everyone was looking at her nervously and expectantly, even Wei Zexi, who lost his foolish look, stared straight at Yan Weiran, like a child attracted by a luminous body, without blinking.It wasn't until the person moving things bumped into him that he suddenly came back to his senses, thinking that he was not a makeup artist, let alone someone from Feuillage, why did he stare at her so closely?

Wei Zexi stood up straight and pretended to lightly cough twice, but within a few seconds, his eyes couldn't help but glanced at Yan Weiran again.Wei Shao, who claims to have seen many beautiful girls, seems to have discovered for the first time that people who work hard can exude attractive charm.

At this time, after Yan Weiran determined the makeup she wanted, she was confident, and she seemed to be the most relaxed person in the audience.She pinched Pandora's chin, chatting with her in a low voice while putting on makeup: "Why did you come here today?"

She was asking questions, but her hands kept adjusting the color on the dressing table, and her eyes were fixed on Pandora's cheeks without moving.She strictly follows the packaging method, as long as it is creamy cosmetics, all of them are taken into the palette with a flat stick, and then blended with a brush, and used on Pandora's face.But even though there was an extra process in the middle, her speed did not slow down at all, and was even faster than others. The make-up artists watching her all held their breath, for fear of missing every move of hers.

Pandora stretched the muscles the least, and said: "Sister, the Yunnan Baiyao you bought for me earlier, the effect is really unambiguous, you can see that I am crunchy now, it's all good! So I put Bring the medicine back to you, and let's take a look at your heroic appearance today!"

Yan Weiran motioned her to close her eyes, and quickly patted glitter powder on her face: "You can save the medicine, I bought it for you."

She closed her eyes and said, "Thank you, sister, but I still want to..."

"shut up."

Pandora's northeast accent finally stopped popping out.

And Yan Weiran also stopped, took half a step back to look at her makeup, motioned her to open her eyes, and let everyone see her appearance.

She did not use bright makeup to fight against the dim light. On the contrary, in order to match the style of clothes and the darker light, she completely abandoned the previous bright makeup and strengthened the eye makeup, using gold, brown and black to create a strong metallic luster .

What appeared on Pandora's face was an eye-focused look.Use a lot of glitter powder on the eye sockets and cheeks, the eyes and face will look colder and more shining.The lip makeup can be processed with concealer to make the lip color light and invisible.

Under everyone's puzzled and hesitant eyes, Pandora stood up, ran to the runway, and walked around.

The light is still weak at the top and strong at the bottom, but this makeup is dark and shiny, completely unaffected by the source of light, and even the light from below does not deform the facial features, but makes the eye sockets glitter on the skin Flickering, making the eyes more and more deep and blurred.

Pandora walked quickly from the back of the runway to the front. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her makeup, and no one made a sound for a while.

In the silence, a clear and powerful voice came from behind, saying, "Very good, this is the makeup."

Sister Tu hurriedly turned her head and made way sideways: "Mr. Ye, you are here!"

Ye Shenshen, the president of Feuillage, walked quickly to the front of the stage, handed the big show brochure he was looking through to the assistant, reached out to Yan Weiran, and asked, "Are you Yan Weiran, the chief makeup artist this time?"

"Yes." Yan Weiran looked at the legendary woman who had risen rapidly in the fashion circle as a queen in front of her, and shook hands with her in reverence and surprise.

"Your makeup is very high-end and full of personality. Even if it is a make-up designed in a hurry, it will never lose to the work of any makeup master." Ye Shen looked at Pandora deeply, thought for a moment, and then his eyes fell on With her lips covered by primer, she asked, "Don't you do lip makeup?"

"The makeup in other places is already in place. If you emphasize the lip makeup, the makeup will become dirty."

After all, Ye Shenshen is a designer. Looking at Pandora's clear and cold makeup, she immediately thought that if she was impacted by bright colors, this clean face might immediately become tacky and awkward.

"You are a professional, trust your vision." Ye smiled deeply and nodded towards Yan Weiran, "The models are all ready, please."
