Chapter 38 Straight Men's Passion for Makeup
He brought about twenty boxes of blush to the long-awaited noble ladies.After selling the lipstick I made last time to them, after showing off and chatting about their experience, many people in the circle of high-class ladies are interested in Yusong's cosmetics, and the supply of these twenty boxes is in short supply.
However, due to the high price charged to them in emergencies before, and their high expectations, Song Yu did not sell them the blush in a wooden box with some defects or a plain outer box, not wanting to tarnish her reputation.
And he didn't waste these, but after bidding a low price, he gave them to Bi Yuan, and asked her to sell them to the servants and dependents in the palace.
Women in the palace pay more attention to appearance than ordinary girls, not only because of women's nature of beauty, but also to make their spirits better, so that their masters can look more pleasing to the eye and appear decent.
Maybe there are some others who have some delusion to make the emperor or some officials fall in love with Hao and fly on the branches to become phoenixes.
Therefore, there are quite a few female family members in the palace to buy, and even Bi Yuan is a little troubled. Several maidservants who have a good relationship with her will ask her to buy them later, but their manpower is limited, and they cannot sell them in stock like mature makeup shops or shops. they.
Because of the shortage of manpower and the limited output, Song Yu started the order system, accepting the order and collecting a small deposit in advance as the material fee, and arranged for them according to the time.
Although this blush was sold, it was very inconvenient to not have a matching makeup brush. Song Yu, a Virgo, was always feeling awkward and planned to make another makeup brush.
However, there are a lot of things to pay attention to when making a brush. The brush handle is second. You only need to consider the lightness and feel. You can be clear about the type, texture, length, and softness of the bristles.
When Song Yu woke up in the modern age, she first dug out several sets of makeup brushes of her sister Song Wanwan for research, measured various data, tried the feeling of use, and checked the information about the production process of these makeup brushes. Specifically, he went directly to the brush factory to visit.
Because the difficulty is not high, so after running for three days in modern times, Song Yu roughly completed the detailed steps and plans for making makeup brushes in ancient times.
The bristles of cosmetic brushes are generally divided into animal hair and synthetic hair. In ancient times, he could only choose animal hair.
Because natural animal hair has complete scales, the hair is soft, so it can make the powder more saturated, the color is even and docile, and it does not irritate the skin.So generally speaking, animal hair is also the best material.
To make an easy-to-use makeup brush, Song Yu chose yellow wolf tail hair and sable hair as the first choice for the best bristles, which are soft and moderate in texture.
But the price of these brushes is high, which will greatly increase the cost and take longer, so Song Yu still plans to make brushes into two grades: high-end and ordinary.
The ordinary grades are replaced by the more common goat hair and pony hair, which are also soft, durable and elastic.
Song Yu naturally didn't have the time and resources to contact Orion and other suppliers one by one, or to make brushes by hand.
So he directly contacted the owner of a handicraft workshop in Wangduli, and after explaining the design drawings and requirements to him in detail, he asked him to bring samples for himself to see after a while.Of course, this will also cost a lot of dispatch fees.
The brush I made for the first time looks good, but it looks much more primitive, and it is easy to think of writing tools such as writing brushes. After making a sample again for the second time, I finally reached the level of cosmetic brushes that Song Yu wanted. Appearance, entrust them to start mass production.
Because there are not many types of makeup, he did not make a set of more than a dozen brushes with complete functions like the modern ones, but first summed up the general functions and made four kinds.
One is a large blush powder brush with fluffy hair, which is especially comfortable when brushing on the face.
There are also medium-sized and small-sized brushes, one is a flat brush, and the other is an angled brush, which can be used for more detailed processing, and is also for the preparation of the contour powder and eye shadow he will launch later.
The last one is the lip brush, which is made of the softest short bristles, and can be used to apply the previous lipstick to draw more detailed lip makeup.
With a brush to choose from, the previous lipstick and blush are undoubtedly more convenient to use.However, these simple cosmetics can only increase the complexion of the skin, and he needs to continue to use ancient methods to develop other cosmetics.
Although it was just for making money at first, after gradually finding this way, Song Yu became interested in making such cosmetics.
Even though he had studied medical skills for detoxification before, after all, he could not treat patients freely like a walking knight traveling in medicine, so he expanded the production of cosmetics and raised his own funds through it. Another thing I want and have to do.
In modern times, he has also seen many men engaged in the beauty industry, and he will not be prejudiced, nor will he feel ashamed that as a man, he touches these things that women love to use every day.
On the contrary, his special physique or ability is actually a rare golden finger, which allows him to use modern resources to solve puzzles and learn even though he is in ancient times.
After a period of time, Song Yu, who was originally "weird in personality", became even weirder in the eyes of his family. He stayed at home on a break from school, and if he didn't go out, he would go out to buy cosmetics or visit the factory. The room was full of cosmetic samples .
Sister Song Wanwan felt guilty at first, thinking that she always used her younger brother as her makeup model, so she led her younger brother astray.
But after observing for a while, she found that Song Yu was also very normal, just studying cosmetics, and didn't madly love herself to smear them messily, so she felt relieved and gave him a lot of help, patiently telling him how to match a girl's makeup , and how to apply makeup.
Seeing Song Yu holding the notes as if she was listening to a class, Song Wanwan couldn't help laughing: "You don't want to give up medicine to become a makeup artist in the future, do you?"
Song Yu paused, then shook his head, "No, don't worry." For Song Wanwan, the modern Song Yu he was talking to at this time really thought so.
At the beginning, when he traveled between the two eras, he still felt a sudden sense of detachment, making him at a loss no matter which world he was in, as if everything was just a dream.That dazed state and confused state of mind made him aware of the crisis and made a choice.
His current focus of life has shifted to ancient times.He knew that only when the ancient affairs were resolved, could he concentrate on solving his abnormal body and return to the ordinary modern life.
In ancient times, Song Yu practiced martial arts in Yaoyuexuan every day, tested new products, read books, and did not go out to run around anymore. Not only did he listen to Liu Hanshan's words, he didn't want to cause trouble, but he also didn't want to be followed by Yin Huaiyu's guards all day.
When Yin Huaiyu came to invite Yuexuan to look for him, he finally met Song Yu who was obediently waiting for him. He didn't rush into nothing like the previous two times. He breathed a sigh of satisfaction and planned to put on a good face for him later .
At that time, Song Yu was drying flowers in the sun in the courtyard. Hearing that Yin Huaiyu was looking for him, he didn't want to and didn't dare to let him wait too long, so he immediately washed his hands and ran to him.
"Are you here? Sit down." Li Xiang immediately served pastries and warm tea sensibly.
"Are you... busy?" Keenly noticed a faint blush on his cheeks, fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, like a girl after a naughty play, Yin Huaiyu subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
The man stretched his hand into the air, only to realize that his behavior was uncomfortable, he paused a little stiffly, and threw it into his arms again.
"Wipe yourself."
Song Yu took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead, and answered his question: "Well, I'm looking at rouge." There was a faint sandalwood scent on the handkerchief, and Song Yu couldn't help but put it under his nose and took a breath, touching the silk as he spoke. slippery material.
"Prince, do you know that there are so many colors of lipstick and blush for women. I used to think that there were only red and pink, and at most one purple, but after I carefully studied it recently, I found that there are at least dozens of them, and Also consider the temperament, skin color, and makeup of each woman—”
Song Yu talked endlessly, and put the handkerchief on the table. Yin Huaiyu glanced at it, hooked it quietly, put it in his arms, and raised one corner of his mouth.
The author has something to say: Although I feel that no one is watching it, I still update 8 and write everything.
