Baguettes and Macarons

=========================

"But it's not the most suitable color for you." Yu Chen took out a row of liquid foundation from the drawer, picked two colors to paint on the palette, and blended them with a paint brush.

Chloe is on the verge of a formidable enemy: "Are you going to paint on my face?"

Yu Chen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just that it's more hygienic to use a special color palette. Since you like dark skin, I'll try my best to adjust a slightly darker color that suits you best."

Chloe's skin color is very fair, and the color Yu Chen adjusted is only one shade pinker than her own skin color, and there is no difference.Chloe pouted: "Why can't I use my original color number?"

"Your hair color is very light. If you insist on painting it black, you will look ashamed, and your whole person looks like a faded old photo." Yu Chen used a powder brush to sweep the adjusted foundation, "After the beauty treatment, the owner of the nail salon should give you some advice. Do you put on lotion and primer?"

Chloe picked at her temples: "Yes, but there is no color, does it make sense?"

Yu Chen sighed: "Of course it's meaningful. It's to make your makeup more docile and avoid fancy makeup. Makeup in real life is not like taking a photo shoot. You only need to be beautiful for a while in the camera. Makeup in real life is to maintain A beautiful day is all it takes.”

Chloe flicked her tongue, and Yu Chen patiently said: "After all, your colleagues and friends are not machines, they may look at your face at any time and find changes in your makeup, aren't they?"

"Okay, well, if you can be radiant all day long, it's a good thing."

Yu Chen patiently applied the foundation to her entire face and neck with a foundation brush: "The liquid foundation I use now is matte. If you like other effects, we can buy other foundations later, but the texture of this brand It is my recommendation, suitable for your skin."

Chloe stuck out her tongue and said, "I know this brand, but I can't afford it. I can even buy a suit of clothes."

"Really? But it's okay, I know its cheap alternatives, and I'll try it later."

Louis interjected, "I thought you only knew about luxury goods."

Yu Chen said angrily: "Affordable cosmetics also have very useful products, and even have functions that cannot be replaced by luxury brands. Knowing these is a compulsory course!"

Louis raised his hands: "I was wrong, I shouldn't question your business level."

Yu Chen glanced at him, went to get cosmetics from the drawer, and said nothing.He took out a row of test tube racks from the drawer, on which there were dozens of thin tubes of foundation in different colors, arranged in shades.Louis couldn't help but said meanly again: "Are you doing an experiment? The foundation is still in the test tube?"

"It's not a foundation, it's a concealer."

"what?"

"Concealer..." Yu Chen repeated weakly, "Sit on the sofa and drink some water, anyway, you don't wear makeup, and it's useless to watch the makeup process."

What Louis looked at was not makeup skills, but people who knew this skill.But since he had already opened his mouth to drive people away, he had no choice but to sit on the sofa, pick up a bottle of mineral water and open it: "You actually drink Evian!"

Yu Chen completely ignored him, and he concentrated on painting on Chloe's face, using things that Louis couldn't tell the purpose of.The latter was slumped on the sofa, staring at the slightly tightened English-style suit of someone's natural waistline, and the Gorgon head on the belt buckle that was exposed when he occasionally raised his hand.

He seemed to have said such a sentence before?If the suit you wear on the outside is too serious, do you need some sexy accessories inside to make you look both serious and sexy?It seems that the original words are not so, but the meaning should be similar.

This belt is very sexy, and I really want to take it off when I look at it.

I don't know how long he was in a daze, Yu Chen finally picked up a plastic spray bottle, sprayed wildly at Chloe, then picked up a fan and fanned it vigorously, as if possessed by a psychotic ghost.After doing this series of actions, it took another minute before he put the fan back on the table panting, took a step back, and opened a side cabinet: "Here is the lipstick, you can choose a color number you like, of course , I recommend this row, it matches the color of the manicure you just made, and also suits your appearance."

It was a whole wall of lipsticks, all kinds and colorful, dazzling people.

Chloe exclaimed with a "wow": "How much does this cost?"

Yu Chen smiled and said, "Although the price is not cheap, for wealthy customers, the money for cosmetics will be charged separately. You have to keep it a secret for me."

Chloe said slyly: "That is to say, I don't have to pay for cosmetics?"

"I'm joking. Generally, the overall image design includes the cost of make-up, and we will convert it into it, but compared with the main cost, no one cares about this small expenditure. That is to say, your commission fee is enough to pay for this time of make-up It’s just that I didn’t tell you about the tiny amount of cosmetics that were lost.”

Chloe stuck out her tongue: "A profiteer."

"This is not a profiteer." Yu Chen picked up a lipstick and handed it to her, "If you don't want to choose a lipstick, just use the one I recommend."

Chloe jumped off the high stool: "There are so many lipsticks, of course I have to choose them myself, can I try them all?"

"I'm afraid you don't have room for so many lines of lipstick on your arm."

"I still have legs."

"Then would you please?"

She said she wanted to choose by herself, but Chloe unscrewed the one Yu Chen handed her first, and then hissed in doubt: "Speaking of handsome female stars in blockbuster movies, they shouldn't be painted in red." Lipstick, like... Marilyn Monroe?"

Yu Chen pursed his lips: "With all due respect, your bust and hips are a bit different from hers, so don't imitate that sexy style."

Chloe's eyebrows stood upside down: "My figure is also very sexy! Don't turn a blind eye to my breasts just because you are gay."

"Even if your figure is plumper than hers, you are not suitable for red lips." Yu Chen spread his hands, "Your temperament and complexion are not suitable for red lips, especially the one you want to take now!"

Chloe grabbed the lipstick and asked, "Why?"

Yu Chen explained: "This red is too bright, very conspicuous. You have blond hair and blue eyes, and you have used a darker foundation. There are already many colors on your face. Adding another bright color will make your face appear more beautiful." It’s like a palette, but it’s also jarring. You’re better off with a cool lipstick that goes with your eyeshadow, your eyes.”

Chloe held up the purplish pink lipstick he recommended and hesitated, "Really?"

Yu Chen asked without answering: "Do you think your makeup looks good now?"

After being tossed by him, Chloe's face was indeed subtly radiant. She looked left and right in the mirror and had to admit: "Although I don't have a cool dark skin, it does look good. I'm not so Looks good. It is obviously the same to use concealer and highlighter to highlight the muscles? Even the position is the same."

"Some seemingly useless but necessary processes will make the makeup look more beautiful. The choice of color is also very important. So are you going to listen to my opinion now?"

Chloe pouted: "Okay, but do you only recommend one lipstick?"

Yu Chen stretched out his hand and gestured four or five times: "These rows are all recommended by me. There are berry colors, deep wine reds and nude colors. You can rest assured that they are all aura and complexion. You choose yourself from the middle The one I like the most, I will write down the color number and go to buy it in a while. But you have to choose it quickly, because the department store is about to close."

Chloe said in shock: "After shopping all day, I didn't even eat any food! Are you not hungry?"

Yu Chen didn't say anything about Louis bringing him meals, and said with a smile: "Eight o'clock is not too late for a restaurant, can you find a nearby restaurant for dinner later?"

"It's a good thing Louis came with me, otherwise he would be so mad." Chloe murmured softly.

Louis agreed with her point of view for the first time: "I said, I haven't eaten dinner today, can you hurry up? Really, if I didn't come, no one urged you, you must slowly put on makeup, slowly We had dinner together, and then slowly went to the hotel to flirt."

"Please don't make such jokes, I have no thoughts about Miss Brown other than work." Yu Chen said seriously.

The other person in the time didn't care much. During the period when the two were staring at each other, she had quickly put on lipstick for selfies and then removed it several times. The one recommended by Yu Chen was slapped on the table together: "Here, that's all. Anyway, I can't afford the expensive ones, and it's useless to try. By the way, the one you recommended shouldn't be expensive, right?"

Yu Chen pushed the ones she didn't like back to the cabinet, and took out a pen and paper to note the color numbers.Chloe looked at him sideways, and suddenly asked, "Hey, who can paint the bright red that I can't paint?"

Yu Chen replied without raising his head: "There is no problem with dark hair and eye color. In addition, it is better to have a fair complexion, and the eye color is consistent with the hair color. Because French people have a relatively high proportion of dark brown hair and eyes." , so there are quite a lot of suitable people. But you happen to be a relatively rare blonde."

Chloe said jealously: "Isn't it true that you are more suitable for painting than me? It's really enviable, obviously he is a man."

Yu Chen memorized the color numbers, and put them back in place one by one: "I'm just kidding, I usually put on skin care products, so what kind of makeup should I wear? Even if I take a photo, I can't wear red lipstick. We should go Time is running out for shopping."

Because they were worried that the department store would be closed, they hurriedly locked the door and rushed into the department store.Fortunately, it is still business hours, and there is an endless stream of customers. The department store is bustling with people, and there is no intention of closing.

Chloe was very disturbed from the moment she entered the door: "Why do people always look at me, is it because the makeup is too light, it looks weird?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sentence came from the crowd: "Is that a female star? She is dressed so special."

Louis clapped his hands: "That's right, although it's hard to tell whether it's a compliment or a derogation, but at least it's like an actress."
