I Am A Prodigy 299 Legendary Makeup Technique!

"We'll not collect even one cent from you." Ye Lingchen nodded. "I'll give you a free makeup session!"

"Sure! I'll give it a try." Aunt Zhao's face was glowing with joy, agreeing to it immediately. She placed her vegetables on the ground and found a seat for herself.

"Come on. Let's go over and see what skills this amazing boss has."

"What bullsh*t skills. I think he's only good at telling tall tales!"

"Is he planning to do the makeup here live? Interesting!"

Quite a number of people from the crowd stayed back to watch the drama, wanting to know how things would end up for Ye Lingchen.

Some of them even followed into the store and started taking pictures of everything within the store, especially prices displayed near the front door. They were given special closeups and shared onto TikTok!

[I went out today and found a weird store. Tch tch tch, just look at these prices!]

Some even recorded a video with a brief explanation of the situation, and then similarly uploaded to TikTok.

In a moment, many comments appeared one after another in the comments sections.

[F*ck! Where did the store find its courage to do this?]

[This world is filled with weird things. Is this some new way of seeking death?]

[Isn't this the shop that someone exposed for selling fake goods? Are they doing this out of desperation?]

[I'm following this user. Will the boss pull off a miracle? I'm looking forward to it!]

…

Meanwhile, a girl in the crowd was holding onto a selfie stick as she walked in with them.

On her phone screen, countless comments flew by. It turned out that she was doing a livestream.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to my stream. I'm your beauty stream host, Little Mei." Little Mei smiled at the camera and went into the cosmetic store.

"Those that want to learn about makeup, remember to click the button on the top right corner and follow me! Today, Little Mei will show you a mysterious cosmetic store!"

As she explained, she briefly explained the situation once again. At the same time, did a closeup of Ye Lingchen and Aunt Zhao,

[We've roughly learned about this incident on TikTok, but I didn't expect to find a livestream here!]

[Hahaha, I'm intentionally here to see how the bosses around here get slapped in the face!]

[To markup to such a high price, he must be overestimating his own worth!]

[Dear host, please record the entire process. I want to see how this boss embarrasses himself. I've even prepared the mockeries in advance!]

[That's right. Everyone, wait for my command and we'll criticize this shameless boss together!]

[He even had a mask on. What's with the mysteriousness? Is he afraid of getting lynched?]

Little Mei was shocked. She never thought her whimsical stream would attract that much attention. She immediately turned the camera and aimed it at Ye Lingchen, who was preparing for the makeup session. "I'm as curious as everyone. Well then, we'll just have to wait here together."

"Yunxi, you guys just assist me for this," said Ye Lingchen.

"Alright." Zhang Yunxi's face was filled with nervousness as she did not expect the issue to be escalated this much.

The other two girls were also worried as they stood beside him anxiously.

Under the eyes of those around him, Ye Lingchen started the makeup process.

Ye Lingchen started by carefully studying Aunt Zhao's facial structure and her brows. With that, he began to hatch a plan of action.

After that, he took out an eyebrow trimmer and removed the excess eyebrows along her brow line. That included the hair in between her brows, under the peaks, and those excessively thick spots of her brows. 

Aunt Zhao had a typical Asian girl's brow shape. Thick along the peaks, and thin towards the edge. Ye Lingchen thickened and darkened the edge while trimming down the peaks until it reached an equal thickness. The brows were extended from the point that was in-line with the nose alae in a straight line. The width was tapered gradually from the peak to the tail of the brows.

After setting her brow shape, Ye Lingchen went on to observe the hair along her upper lip. He then removed those that were too thick or too dark.

Due to Aunt Zhao's age, these parts were not as well kept as the young women, making it appear slightly messy. Ye Lingchen trimmed them with the utmost care.

His procedures were open for all to see. Those that were familiar with makeup could not help but nod along. Those procedures seemed expertly done!

Next, Ye Lingchen was in deep thoughts for a moment and began to choose a foundation.

Aunt Zhao's skin was of the oily type, hence it was better to use a matte foundation.

He first picked out a few foundations that were closer to her skin tone and tested them individually. Ye Lingchen chose the colors that were closest to her skin tone, and then picked another one whose color tone was slightly darker than Aunt Zhao's skin tone.

These two foundations, one bright and one dark could be used to bring out broad and narrow effects to patch up the skin tone. Both of them could be blended and evened out to achieve a great result.

Next was to apply the makeup. 

Ye Lingchen's application was very delicate. Furthermore, his movements were gentle and seemed very natural. It was quite a sight to behold.

At that moment, the noise quietened down. Everyone looked at it quietly, as though appreciating a scenic view, fearing that their voice would break the perfect yet delicate balance.

Even the comments in the livestream toned down as they paid close attention to the camera, immersed in the feed.

It was too professionally done, too elegant!

Whatever the job, once seriousness and expertise were involved, it would transform into something enrapturing.

Following the application of the makeup, everyone noticed that Aunt Zhao's aura had changed. She seemed more energetic, and when her perfect brows matched with her nicely toned skin, she seemed a long younger, looking nothing like an auntie.

[F*ck! How did a simple eyebrow trimming and makeup cause such a huge change?]

[Are my eyes playing tricks on me? He's just applying makeup. How can there be this much difference?]

[If everyone's makeup was this good, then wouldn't the street be filled with beauties?]

A few comments occasionally popped up in Little Mei's stream.

Following that was the rouge, drawing of the brows, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, and so on. Ye Lingchen moved on step by step.

His movements were not quick, but it flowed smoothly without any pauses. To the crowd, he seemed to be creating a work of art rather than applying makeup.

Although the procedures were complicated, it only took him one hour to finish them.

"Aunt Zhao, it's done." Ye Lingchen said calmly.

Aunt Zhao did not react. She was already dazed, looking dumbfounded at herself in the mirror. It took her a long time before she recovered from her daze.

She raised her hands and gently touched her cheeks, asking in disbelief, "Is this really me?"

Her eyes were filled with tears, moved and at a loss of how to react. It was as though she was dreaming.

At the same time, the people around them all gasped. Their eyes widened, unable to believe what they saw.

They kept rubbing their eyes, unable to respond to the shock they felt.

"How...how is that possible?! Did she change into another person?"

"How can makeup make such a big difference? It must be magic!"

"F*ck! F*CK! What's going on?!"
