"You see, I told you your hairstyle wasn’t up to par. Now do you believe it?"
Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously at Wang Xiangxiang, "Yes, I believe it, I believe it. We really need to find a professional."
Mudan looked at them, both acting like children, both so spirited, and she envied them deeply. "Actually, if your hair was a bit longer at the back, it would be even better to style."
"Yeah, I’ll keep it growing," Xiaoxiao thought to herself, thankful that she had been too busy lately to impulsively cut it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to enjoy such a beautiful hairstyle.
"Next, you’ll learn how to style your hair. But first, let’s do your makeup."
"..." Xiaoxiao, seeing that it was time for makeup, was even more excited because her previous hairstyle had amazed her, so she assumed her makeup would be just as good.
But when she saw Mudan come over with a razor blade, she freaked out. What was this for? Surely they weren’t going to shave her face?
"We’ll shave your eyebrows first, then draw them on!"
"..." What? Her beautifully natural eyebrows needed to be shaved? That wouldn’t do at all; a simple shaping would suffice. She had just been too lazy to do it before, but she knew how to trim them.
She took the razor blade, "I’ll do it myself."
Xiaoxiao faced the bronze mirror, carefully trimming, and in no time, a pair of lovely eyebrows appeared on her face, making her look more spirited.
Both Wang Xiangxiang and Mudan were stunned. They were used to shaving and then drawing, but they hadn’t thought it could be done this way, both natural and attractive.
"Xiaoxiao, you’re really good at this," Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t help but praise. "When my eyebrows grow back, you can do mine."
"Sure, let your eyebrows grow out," Xiaoxiao chuckled, thrilled with her own transformation. "What’s next? What do we do?"
"First, wash your face, then we’ll apply some rouge and face powder."
"Oh, okay." Xiaoxiao immediately followed the instructions, curious about the rouge and face powder here; she knew how to apply makeup, just not according to these particular methods.
Upon seeing Mudan bring over a strange-looking box, apparently containing the rouge and face powder, and opening it to find various powders, Xiaoxiao had her doubts—apply it directly to the face?
My goodness, could that work? Xiaoxiao was skeptical.
But wanting to look good, she decided to give it a try. Please forgive her vanity—it’s only natural for a woman to want to look appealing.
Fortunately, the process was straightforward, similar to modern compact and blush. Once she knew which was which, she watched once and could use it on her own thereafter.
The last touch was the lipstick; the color was quite bright, and Xiaoxiao’s pout looked good with it on.
Facing the mirror, Xiaoxiao was lost in her reflection. She realized her features suited a classical style; this makeover made her many times more stunning than before.
While she hadn’t reached the level of a beauty, she was still presentable enough to go out—who could blame her with such a weak foundation?
"What? Surprised by your own beauty?" Wang Xiangxiang joked. She really hadn’t expected Xiaoxiao to look this good with a makeover.
Hearing Wang Xiangxiang’s comment brought Xiaoxiao back to reality, "Haha, it looks good."
"..." Not humble at all.
Xiaoxiao was never one to be demure, "Quick, I’m going to wash my face, and then I’ll do it myself."
Xiaoxiao quickly did her makeup, leaving Wang Xiangxiang and Mudan in continuous awe. After just watching once, she had learned to apply her own makeup—and it was just as good as theirs.
"Haha, how’s that? Not bad, right?"
"..." It was more than just good—it was fantastic. "You’re incredibly talented. Are you sure you’ve never used this before?"
"..." Of course, she had used makeup before, just not these exact products. "Okay, let’s move on to hairstyling."
