Chapter 0006 – Beauty Makeup
Chen Ge’s house of horrors only had two scenes, Zombie Resurrection Night and Underworld Wedding.
Zombie Resurrection Night was said to be useless by the black cell phone, Chen Ge also reflected, that horror scene did have a lot of problems, in addition that scene wanted to be interpreted completely, at least three employees were needed to cooperate to make it work.
”Xiaowan, today our theme is Underworld Marriage, later I’ll go debug the background music, remember to plug your ears when you’re pretending to be a ghost, in addition your makeup today, I’ll personally come and draw it for you.”
”Boss you still know how to do makeup?” Xiao Wan gave a bad smile, “OK, but you can’t make me ugly.”
”Don’t worry, I will make you breathtakingly beautiful.”
The two of them entered the dressing room, Chen Ge pressed Xiao Wan in front of the mirror and gently stroked her face with his palm.
”Use Elementary Talent Skill – Mortification.”
Looking at the youthful and cute girl in the mirror, Chen Ge’s mind slowly flooded with a lot of memories that did not belong to him, it was very cluttered, not only the use of colors and makeup application techniques, but also basic knowledge of oral science, human body deconstruction, human skeleton, and death science.
”Boss, do you know how to apply makeup or not?” Thirty seconds passed, Xu Wan sat in front of the mirror, feeling the unfamiliar temperature on her face, looking at herself in the mirror who was at her mercy, her heart thumping, feeling a little ashamed for no reason.
”A good makeup artist will design different styles according to different face shapes. Xiaowan, you have a good base.” Chen Ge did not have any distractions in his mind, after using the mortuary makeup, Xu Wan was already a “corpse” in his eyes.
”Tweezers, razor, medical pliers, sutures, alcohol, embalming needles, I don’t have anything here, so it seems that I can only do the most basic makeup.” Chen Ge was muttering to himself, but Xu Wan on the chair was scared, this girl couldn’t figure out even if she thought about it, why make-up for haunted house actors had to use such horrible things. She was a little scared in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only turn her head sideways, sneakily surveying her boss with her afterglow and silently praying.
”The foundation is a single color, the blush is too bright and a bit eye-catching, and why can’t I find the lipstick?” Chen Ge muttered, and finally began to match the colors himself, his movements were skillful, his fingers were flexible, and his color discrimination was extremely strong, not at all like an otaku who had never been able to dress up.
The scene in front of her eyes also made Xu Wan feel incredible, the whole process of matching her own colors and makeup, this is unheard of!
”Boss, I don’t think you need to be so strict with yourself. The haunted house is so dark, tourists can’t see clearly ……”
”Cut the crap and don’t move.” Without waiting for Xu Wan to finish her sentence, Chen Ge had already finished her foundation and put her own matched eye shadow on her.
A few strokes, just a simple eye shadow, but it made Xu Wan’s temperament change quite a bit, adding a hint of coldness and mystery.
Xu Wan originally wanted to continue to retort, but after seeing herself in the mirror, her small mouth slowly opened, the love of beauty is shared by all, especially a woman.
”Cherry red alone is monotonous in color and lacks a sense of hierarchy, but after adding hibiscus purple it’s a different story, the two colors are perfectly overdone and blended together as if they were made for each other.” Chen Ge casually explained as he used the brush again to apply the blush on the back of his hand.
”Boss, what are you doing?”
”The inferior blush in our haunted house is too bright and saturated with color in order to create a visual impact, so I’m going to smudge it on the back of my hand first.” Chen Ge moved gently, and a few moments later, the blush really became delicate, and the powder brought out a subtle sense of silkiness.
At this time, Xu Wan’s mouth had already opened into an O shape, “Deeply hidden! Where did you learn all this?”
”I can do a lot, beauty salon is just my hobby.” Chen Ge smiled slightly, people were happy and refreshed, those extra memories in his mind proved once again that mobile games could indeed affect reality.
It only took ten minutes for Chen Ge to put on Xu Wan’s makeup, “Look in the mirror, satisfied?”
Lift your eyes to look, the mirror seems to lift a layer of veil, the person in the mirror as if from the poetry and painting out of the same, with a classical oriental woman’s flavor, but vaguely feel where it is not the same.
Staring at the mirror, Xu Wan couldn’t help but stand up, she looked at herself in the mirror, the expression on her face went from shock to mesmerization, then suddenly shivered.
”Boss, I’ve never been this beautiful, is the person in the mirror really me?”
”Of course.”
”But ……” she reached towards the mirror with some hesitation, “Why do I feel like I’m looking at a dead person?”
Xu Wan’s words caused Chen Ge to suck in a breath of cool air, and he finally understood exactly what was different.
Mortuary makeup was meant to restore the beauty of the dead to the greatest extent possible, and the makeup that Chen Ge had put on was not meant for the living in the first place.
”Don’t look, the paradise will open soon, you hurry to change and go to the second floor to stay in the meditation venue, remember to wear a bluetooth headset and follow my orders.” Chen Ge changed the topic, supported Xu Wan, and used the only time left to process the paper people and dolls in the Underworld Wedding Scene, under the enchantment of the Mortuary Skill, all of the paper people were as if they had come to life, and there was vitality in their dead intentions.
”Let’s do this first, and then re-color all of them later when we are free.”
Chen Ge put away his toolbox and hurriedly went downstairs, and before he got close to the door of the haunted house, he heard the voices of the tourists talking outside.
”You were also pitched by that lackluster smoking guy, right?”
”Day! My cell phone screen is shattered, don’t you think?”
”You guys are okay, I fucking pants are off, hand slip point wrong, directly popped out a this thing! Frightened old me a carp hit up on the scurry up, my parents heard the noise thought I had a nightmare, rushed over to see. I had nothing to wear at the time! At that time I did not wear anything, just holding a roll of toilet paper, my parents looked at me all confused!”
……
Listening to the tourists’ cries, Chen Ge barely held back his laughter, took a deep breath, maintained his serious expression, and pushed open the door of the House of Horrors.
”Welcome everyone to my house of horrors.”
The corners of Chen Ge’s mouth rose at the sight of the long line and the heavily armed tourists.
”Little Chen, you have a long line here early in the morning, not bad.” The staff of the carousel next to him was a bit surprised, he originally wanted to say hello to Chen Ge, only to realize that the atmosphere of the tourists was not quite right when he got closer.
”It’s average, mainly because the tourists like it.” Chen Ge shrugged his shoulders and pulled back the guardrail.
”Who likes it? Stinking shameless!”
”I’m here to look for trouble, not to visit!”
”Found the rightful owner! You’re the one who sent the short video last night, right? Where’s my knife? Where’s my knife?”
The tourists were too enthusiastic and the scene got out of control for a while, Chen Ge immediately spoke up, “Since everyone is here, why don’t you go in and experience it, the best way to appease fear is to stimulate the senses and fight poison with poison to numb yourself. That short video last night was really my poor consideration, let’s do it this way, all tickets for the haunted house are 50% off today, walk by, don’t miss it.”
