Makeup can be said to be the brain of a star, and its importance is self-evident. Sometimes good makeup can fully express the star's thinking and overall personality.

But when Li Zhien saw himself in the mirror at this moment, he felt a little... strange... At least if he wore this makeup, he would be considered brain dead no matter what he did.

She felt like she was dreaming back to the appearance of that ugly black girl when she first debuted. The makeup in front of her was really...

In the past two years, Korean aesthetics have begun to favor white as beauty, which is completely different from the "black" feeling led by Lee Hyori a few years ago. In the past two years, Lee Ji-eun looked like a little black firewood girl. These two

After years of unremitting efforts, her skin has gradually begun to become fairer. But it is not enough after all. She usually needs a lot of foundation. After all, the lighting on the stage will make people look very dark in the camera.

However, Japanese makeup does not advocate powdering. It seems that... the skin color is still not as fair as before, and her facial features are a bit unable to show two things. For example, there are no lethal eyes, and her logo

She has a sexy little strawberry nose. Even the bridge of her nose feels a bit sunken instead of flat.

The most important thing is the nose shadow. She is completely different if she does not wear nose shadow and if she wears nose shadow. However, Japanese makeup does not put so much emphasis on nose shadow.

"I always look weird like this..." Li Zhien said softly, she was a little worried about damaging the makeup artist's self-confidence.

Unexpectedly, the makeup artist on the side also said: "I think so too."

"Director nim, what do you think?" Generally speaking, it is easier for men to see a girl's makeup to get an objective evaluation. What's more, the manager of the agency is also theoretically responsible for Li Zhien's makeup, and he has the right to make suggestions.

.

The manager of the agency looked at the makeup that the chaebol ignored and couldn't bear to hit the dressing room. He had to say: "The company debuted in Neon, not in Korea. Just do as the Romans do, Neon people may like this kind of makeup.

.”

Li Zhien continued to look at the mirror helplessly. Is the Neon Man blind or is he blinded by lard?

The beauty of Japanese makeup is more natural and casual. The choice of eyebrow pencil should be close to your own hair color, and there is little need for retouching. However, her personality is that of the little girl next door, and her eyebrows are relatively flat, so she usually needs a little eyebrow pencil.

Modify.

Another thing is eye makeup. The second thing that attracts Li Zhien's fans is her eyes. Her eyes are round and squinting, a little cute but still charming.

But after all, she was given a pair of Japanese-style eye makeup and she likes to use eyeshadow instead. She doesn’t use eyeliner very much, but she uses eyeshadow very much, almost catching up with all-inclusive eyeliner. But this year, her makeup began to upgrade and she changed to Japanese makeup, and she felt completely different.

It's like going back to the time when I watched "Heroes" every year.

Good guy, her appearance has completely deteriorated all of a sudden. She finally upgraded her makeup and became much prettier...

"You...you need to spend a little more time on your recent research on Japanese makeup." The room director's face became a little serious and serious, but his words were still euphemistic.

However, it seems that he is not very satisfied either.

When the makeup artist saw that she was being criticized, she felt quite aggrieved. This was because she completely followed the standardization of Japanese makeup: "Director Nim, maybe Zhien is not necessarily suitable for Japanese makeup."

Hearing the makeup artist's words, the room director was stunned with a hint of disbelief in his eyes. He never thought that the makeup artist's reasons would be so funny.

"you sure?"

"Yes, her eye makeup doesn't suit..."

"etc"

The room director interrupted the other party's explanation. He never expected that the makeup artist who had just saved her face by saying that she needed to work hard on her homework would refute him like this.

"Unintentionally" he glanced at Li Zhien, who looked innocent next to him. The director's tone became tough: "Do you understand the neon market? Do you have the data there? Do you know what types of idols neon people like?

Do you know the benefits that neon cosmetics will bring if you use neon makeup and get rave reviews?"

"Ah?" The makeup artist blinked blankly and shook his head slightly: "How could I possibly know this..."

"Then do you know how big a challenge it will be for her to go to Neon? There are many girls in Neon who have similar attributes to her as the girl next door. Especially the local popularity of AKB48 in the past two years, how terrifying. How many are there?

Do you know a girl who has a lot of overlap with Zhien’s style? If her debut makeup doesn’t fit the neon market, then what follows..."

There is no need to be more direct at this point.

"But Zhien is really not suitable for Japanese makeup style."

"How long have you been researching?"

"Just a week..."

"Then you came to a conclusion?" The director looked at the aggrieved makeup artist and took a long breath. In the end, he was still unwilling to make a harsh statement: "We still have time, let's study it for a while."

"But Japanese makeup style is really like this."

"Yes, you are more professional than me in makeup." Seeing that the makeup artist was still trying to evade, he felt a little impatient in his heart: "But my market research on neon is also more professional than yours, isn't it?"

"but......"

Li Zhien saw through the mirror that the face of the room director was getting more and more ugly, and he quickly stopped him and said: "Ani, Unnie, it's okay, I'll try it on with you for a while, maybe it's because the eyeshadow is too much, so it looks weird. Room manager nim

You are right, we really want to try to fit the neon market."

Director Zhang glanced at his artist, but he was not surprised by Li Zhien's attitude. There was nothing wrong with her words, which were intended to ease the relationship between the two.

Maybe both sides were wrong, but for the sake of his authority in the team, he wouldn't admit the makeup artist's remarks so easily, so he casually found a reason and left.

The room manager completely disappeared into the dressing room. The stylist raised his mouth slightly and complained softly: "The room manager said it is easy. But how easy is it to change the makeup system to another one?"

Li Zhien silently listened to his makeup artist's complaints, and felt that what the makeup artist said was actually correct.

Her current makeup routine is relatively rigid. While focusing on nasal eyeshadow, she also needs to change to a new style. It is really difficult to try to use eyeshadow to highlight the proportions of the eyes and nose without using eyeliner.

This requires trying again and again to achieve a rich makeup effect, but the more attempts, the more damage will be done to Li Zhien's own skin. After all, makeup is similar to pencil writing. Although there is an eraser, the paper cannot be unlimited.

daubed with pencil.

What's more, the lighting level of each stage is different. For example, the lighting of the music stages of the three major Korean channels from Friday to Sunday is relatively better, but the lighting of the singing stages on other weekdays is not so good.

This means that a lot of makeup attempts are needed. And this time the trip to Neon has been moved forward, and the overall time is much tighter.

But it is impossible for me to oppose what the manager says. Now if I suddenly confront the manager, my advantage will be reduced a lot. Confronting the manager and manager will eventually lead to many unpleasant consequences between the artist and the company. In fact, there are many consequences.

This made Li Zhien have to be careful.

"Everything must follow him. You must pretend to be stupid in front of him, and then kill him with one blow."... These are the original words Lin Zhexun taught her, and they sound right. Although she still doesn't

You know what to do. Until then, at least it's better not to contradict the room manager now.

"Unnie, let's take a rest first." Li Zhien looked at the makeup artist who looked tired. The makeup artist was not a hard-working person. She did have some temporary requirements during this period, so she spent her free time exploring every day.

New makeup techniques and research on new cosmetics. Sometimes it is necessary to consider Li Zhien’s skin to prevent some cosmetics from causing allergies on her face.

Not everything can be solved by a simple macro narrative, it requires human deployment and efforts.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest." The makeup artist nodded, and walked aside a little tiredly: "If your skin is uncomfortable, remove makeup as soon as possible, and don't be allergic. Although I know your skin suitability, but if the makeup bottle

There’s a little bit of other elements in it.”

"Yeah, I understand."

The makeup artist nodded happily and walked aside to prepare for a good rest. She had been standing for several hours and was very tired.

Li Zhien looked around and found that the makeup artist was lying on the table at the moment, and there was no one else on either side. He simply opened the hem of his clothes and took out a mobile phone from the second layer of clothes pocket.

Her usual mobile phone is a white Samsung. But the one she has now is a black Apple. Of course, she is not the real owner of the mobile phone. She snatched it from his good brother Li Jongxun.

I finally snatched it from my good brother last night. The reason is that high school students should get involved, stop thinking about nonsense like falling in love, and study hard.

There was no way, as her second favorite man, Lee Jong-hoon had to accept her sister's sarcastic advice. High school students know how to love. She also fell in love in high school, but it was not because of their busy schedules that they finally became ordinary classmates.

Is it related? I didn’t even experience pouting before, so I felt so uncomfortable! The most disgusting thing is that Park Ji-yeon’s stupidity was exposed on the show.

And Li Zhongxun said kindly: She will definitely abide by her sister's "follow-up instructions", otherwise as her sister said, he will never be able to make a living in this life.

So the phone was snatched from his hand. Now it is hidden in the pocket of her second piece of clothing, and she is still using her own phone.

I don’t dare to use my mobile phone at all now.

Li Zhien sighed slightly, pressed the unlock button on the frame of the phone, turned on the phone, and wanted to tell Lin Zhexun that he had used this number to contact him recently and that he should never call the original number.

Through the corner of my eye, I noticed that Director Zhang was walking this way with his head lowered.

Fortunately, I lowered my head, otherwise I would have seen it at first sight.

She quickly put her cell phone into the long sleeve of her clothes, pretending that nothing happened. This was the best way to hide her cell phone when she was in high school, and it worked repeatedly. In an era when teachers and room principals didn’t have portable cell phones, it was impossible.

I understand that sleeves can be used so flexibly.

She waited for the director to pass by. But Director Zhang finally stopped beside her and did not say a word. Instead, he continued to fiddle with the notebook in his hand. Li Zhien's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, with a look on his face.

I don't know why it feels unnatural.

Do you want to talk to yourself? Or do you find out?

But Director Zhang was still looking at what he was writing in his notebook.

Li Zhien's little heart was beating loudly, and he tried to change the subject and asked: "Chief Nim, what are the arrangements for us to go to Neon?"

Hearing his artist's careful inquiry, the room manager raised his head and looked at the somewhat "ugly" face in front of him through the mirror, sighed and said, "Zhien, your schedule is a bit full."

Full? Li Zhien suddenly felt bad about her life in Neon. But she still tried to ask: "We won't be particularly busy..."

"It's a bit busy." Director Zhang nodded slightly and confirmed: "For example, on the second day of your debut, Fuji TV has a variety show, and you have to go to Kyoto overnight to participate in the night program of a large local TV station."

"On the third day, there will be a concert guest, and then there will be a program on TBS TV in Tokyo. On the fourth day, we need to go to a high school in Japan to perform. The fifth day is Faing..."

Li Zhien was stunned, a little unexpected. Is this really a large number of announcements? Compared to South Korea, which has three or four announcements and sometimes six announcements every day, this is a small problem!
