BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76
“Just a glance, and I fell in love with these things,” she expressed.
“I feel like I can’t live without them,” she added.
Noble Consort Wei and others were astonished by what Li Lizhi brought, including her craftsmanship. Even though Noble Consort Wei didn’t inquire, it was evidently Li Lizhi’s secret.
Noble Consort Wei isn’t concerned about these things. She focuses on cosmetics and makeup techniques.
Putting down her hands, Nobel Consort Wei said, “Lizhi, paint the other side too! Otherwise, I won’t have the face to go out and meet people!”
Empress Zhangsun smiled and commented, “Indeed, this girl sometimes lacks thoughtfulness in her considerations.”
“No need to rush, Your Majesty. I’ll paint the other side,” Li Lizhi stated, achieving her intended purpose.
Even if Nobel Consort Wei hadn’t mentioned it, Li Lizhi would have finished the other side. With Noble Consort Wei showcasing these techniques, it was the best promotion, allowing future price increases without concern about selling.
After all, the results were evident. Empress Zhangsun approached, eager to learn.
Noble Consort Wei turned to Wei Yao, saying, “Pay attention and learn well!”
Wei Yao nodded, understanding the implied message. Yushu also watched intently.
Empress Zhangsun advised, “Lizhi, take your time, explain carefully, and clarify these things. Otherwise, the Empress Mother won’t know.”
Empress Zhangsun pointed to the makeup box.
“Alright!” Li Lizhi prepared to begin again.
Li Lizhi picked up one and explained, “This is a makeup primer with oil control or moisturizing effects. It needs to be used with the foundation for the best results.”
Empress Zhangsun and others didn’t fully grasp it but tried remembering the order and Li Lizhi’s techniques.
“This is a liquid foundation. You can choose it based on your needs. Oil-control types suit oily skin, while people with dry skin can opt for moisturizing ones. For acne-prone skin, go for foundations with good coverage.”
Li Lizhi pointed to different products, saying, “These are various liquid foundations.”
“When choosing a shade, applying the foundation on the junction of the face and chin is best. Only when this area’s color harmonizes is the right shade selected.”
Li Lizhi addressed Empress Zhangsun and others, “Do you understand?”
They nodded in agreement.
Li Lizhi continued, “Next is concealer, covering facial imperfections and dark circles. Use a concealer brush to apply an appropriate amount, adjusting on the back of your hand, then cover dark circles, blood vessels under the nose, and acne marks….”
…
Li Lizhi explained meticulously, and several people paid close attention. Previously, lipstick hadn’t been applied, but this time, applying it last completed the look.
“There are many colors and models of lipsticks. Choose a color that suits you and coordinate it with your outfit for the day,” Li Lizhi advised.
“A good makeup look usually highlights eye and lip makeup,” she added.
“If the eye makeup is very prominent, the lip makeup needs to be relatively low-key.”
Empress Zhangsun couldn’t believe how much Li Lizhi knew. Several palace maids were so shocked by Nobel Consort Wei’s transformation that they couldn’t find words.
Nobel Consort Wei now seemed like a completely different person.
So beautiful!
What shocked them even more was Li Lizhi’s skills!
Li Lizhi handed a small mirror to Nobel Consort Wei and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, see if you are satisfied now!”
Nobel Consort Wei took the mirror, looked at herself, and couldn’t find words in her excitement. She touched her face, feeling that the improvement wasn’t real.
“Is this still me?” Nobel Consort Wei joked, “I might be reversing aging!”
“Sister, you’re already very young!” Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.
“Sister, don’t tease me.” Nobel Consort Wei looked at Li Lizhi and exclaimed, “Lizhi, how much for these? Can they be bought?”
Seeing Nobel Consort Wei’s excitement, Li Lizhi was also happy. Her skills were indeed impressive. She also admired Xiao Ran for choosing the right things; presenting these in the harem would cause a sensation.
