Chapter 5 Learning to put on makeup

When I arrived in Chang'an, I did not get to the Bubugao factory as I wished, because I was a minor and had no guarantor. I didn't want to enter other factories because I always felt unfree.

I thought about learning a craft, so I just wanted to learn a craft. Well, girls should learn beauty and haircuts, etc. I found some stores and suddenly found that there was a store that specialized in recruiting makeup apprentices. It was on Kangle North Road. I mustered up the courage to enter the store. The proprietress looked up and down and asked me if I were here to put on makeup?

I saw you asking for an apprentice at your door, and I came here to be an apprentice.The boss lady stared at me again and asked: Did you have any basic Ah before?I shook my head.

It depends on how young you are?I told the boss's wife that I worked in the factory for more than half a year before I graduated from junior high school. Now I feel that it is too hard to run a factory, so I came out to find a job with craftsmanship, which would be better here.

The boss’s wife looked at me again, nodded with a smile, and then the boss’s wife said, “Okay, show me your ID card, let me see where you are from. Do your parents know that you are here to find a job?

I took out my ID card and sent it to the boss's wife. She looked at her ID card and put it on her body, and she had no intention of returning it to me.

When I asked me if I had a place to live now, I said no, and he said, then you can stay here at the store. There is a small bed on the second floor of the store, you can live there, and you can put the things in the storage room behind.

After wandering in Chang'an for several days, I finally had a place to stay and loved. I suddenly felt relieved. The small bed on the second floor was a massage bed, and there was a single sofa next to it. It was quite wide and looked quite comfortable. I put the things on the single sofa and went downstairs.

From now on, you can call me Sister Chen.This shop has been very busy since the afternoon. You should first watch and learn, and then start with foundation. You have to practice slowly... As Sister Chen spoke, she began to tell me a lot about makeup. Maybe I am young, or maybe I really need a helper. That afternoon, I started to do a lot of work, cleaning, tidying up the dressing table, tidying my wigs, and until dinner at night, I was not idle.

Lingling, you can go out for some food by yourself. We don’t have to buy a house here. There is a snack street outside. You can eat whatever you want and come back soon. In the evening, there are many girls who come to work and have to put on makeup. You have to study hard.

I didn't go out, but asked the boss how to work. Are they all working night shifts?

The boss lady smiled and shook her head and said: It’s not night shifts. They do nightclubs. Haven’t you seen so many hotel saunas and foot baths next to her?

Dongguan is called Xingdu, and it is very close to Hong Kong and Shenzhen, so many people from Shenzhen and Hong Kong will come here to play. There are tens of thousands of girls working in this industry here alone. We are also dependent on them. When they put on makeup, we will make a fortune.

It seems that what I was thinking is right. Sure enough, this industry can make money. I went out to buy a fried noodles and finished it in a few bites. When I got back to the store, I had already queued up and sat there.

The proprietress has a very skillful craftsmanship. She drew a face in about 10 minutes. She was obviously a girl with an ordinary appearance just now. After drawing, her eyes seemed to double magnify, and her lips and teeth were white. She would pay attention to it. Looking at her a few more eyes is simply amazing.

And I was like a dumb goose and could only hand over the boss’s stuff. When several girls came, they all started asking about my situation. The boss’s wife said that I was my distant niece and came here to learn makeup...

It was almost 12 o'clock in the evening after the first day of study. The boss's wife stood there to put on makeup and braided hair. Some of them came to repair them. She quickly repaired them. The boss's wife costs 40 yuan to draw a face, which is 10 to 20 yuan more expensive than many other stores. The reason is that the cosmetics used by the boss's wife are not inferior, and the quality is still good. Many of them are international cosmetics brands. If they bring their own cosmetics, the boss's wife will charge 10 yuan less.

I was shocked to show it to me this night. It turned out that people can change so much, which made me more and more aware of how good it is to wear good makeup.

When I was lying in bed at night, I was determined to learn makeup skills.

……………………

The boss’s shop starts open at one or two in the afternoon, because she usually sleeps until almost noon before getting up. Yesterday, the boss’s wife took my ID card and never gave it to me again.

But I thought he would help me collect it. I drew about forty people in one night last night and earned more than 1,500 yuan. I think if I had 30 cents every day, wouldn’t the boss’s wife have to earn 30,000 to 400,000 a month, and she would have to earn more than 400,000 a year.

Shocked the boss's wife for so much money and still works like this every day.

I cleaned the store early, and even washed the floor at the door with water and cleaned it. After a while, the boss lady drove a BMW. I didn’t know what model it was, but I knew that the BMW must be very expensive. Seeing me cleaning in the store, the boss lady smiled and asked me if I had eaten. I said I had eaten it and had eaten Xiaolongbao.

Well, the boss smiled and then entered the store and saw that the store was cleaned spotlessly. She was also very happy.

After almost 1 o'clock, five or six girls came to him to put on makeup. He asked the girls to make foundation by themselves, and then he came over and drew blush, adjusted his seat, and drew the girls' eyes. After a while, a few beautiful girls appeared. Ah, every time I sighed at such a greatness.

Lingling, go to the convenience store to buy some ice cream and water and put it in the freezer. When they come, let them eat it.I thought the weather was still so cool now that I wouldn’t eat ice cream and popsicles. But after I got busy, I found that more and more people were sitting in this room. They really wanted to eat popsicles. Sometimes when chatting, they knew a lot of things, such as how many customers they picked up yesterday, and who robbed who was who was who, and who was who, I heard many names, but I don’t know about them, but I was also curious how much money they could earn as a lady?

……………………

After almost a month of work, the boss's wife gave me 1,200 yuan. I took this money and felt that it was much better than the factory because the work was not hard and I could learn a lot, which was the best money I saved for my daily meals.

This month, several mothers came to me to talk to the boss lady, but the boss lady refused directly. They asked me to talk to me just to ask me to go to the sauna. Because I am a virgin, in the eyes of those mothers, I am very valuable, and I am only 16 years old, which is the most beautiful and youthful time.

I learned a lot of makeup skills from the boss’s wife every day, and the boss’s wife showed me a lot of videos about eyeliner and eyebrow drawing. The boss’s wife is particularly good at painting Korean makeup. Many girls’ eyebrows are not good-looking, so she just made a flat eyebrows with a few simple strokes, which are simple and beautiful.

I'm also learning this technique seriously.

……………………

After working for the second month, I started to take over the face of them, just to isolate them, put foundation on them, and simply help them clean their eyebrows, draw eyeliner, and apply lipstick.

Because I am an apprentice, I only charge 15 yuan. For many of them, I have a good foundation and don’t need makeup techniques like plastic surgery, so I just do it directly.

The boss’s wife took away 12 yuan, and I kept three yuan. This is my commission. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the business becomes better and better. The boss’s wife will charge others 10 yuan more, and she will take out cosmetics for them to see every time.

Gradually, I also learned how the cost came about. Many cosmetics are really expensive.

A lip gloss costs 200 yuan to only draw 50 people, not counting other foundations, and later my mother calculated that it would cost more than 20 yuan to spend a person with good cosmetics, so the boss’s wife really didn’t charge much money, and she also had to deduct water, electricity and rent. In fact, it was very different from what I thought about a income of hundreds of thousands a year. In fact, the boss’s wife’s remaining money in her hand was only about 20,000 yuan a year, and she still had more than 200,000 yuan a year. However, the boss’s wife said that this kind of money was still hard-earned money, and the real money was still those who were ladies. The beautiful lady first sold wine and body to add up. Some could make tens of thousands of yuan a night, and then they could just play without working for several months.

In fact, the boss’s wife said these words without intention, but I listened to them.

Facing so many girls every day.

I envy them for wearing beautiful clothes, I envy them for spending money without calculating, and I envy them for traveling everywhere if they have the chance. I was thinking, if I had the chance, I would also make so much money.

In the fourth month of my makeup, a mother who was very familiar with the boss lady talked to me and could go to his side because he took high-end routes, and girls were all model-level, and they looked very good in length, and they were very expensive. They would not sleep with others like an ordinary sauna for two or three hundred yuan, and they started with thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.

If a virgin like me goes out for a night, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars.

The boss’s wife is not particularly willing to go. After all, I have made a lot of money for her over the past few months, and my techniques are getting better and better, and my hands are no longer shaking. I can copy a lot of beautiful makeup online after learning a lot of online makeup. I think that makeup is actually just like this, and I will learn it.

Later, the mother didn't know what she said to the boss's wife, so the boss's wife returned my ID card to me.

Your situation is almost done now. I can see that you are a little impetuous recently. You really want to make quick money. I have no reason to stop you, but this is a path of no return, you have to think about it yourself.I looked at the boss’s wife with my ID card and salary, not knowing what to say, but I really want to make so much money, I just want to make so much money for myself.

I went upstairs to pack my things and got on my mother's Mercedes-Benz. Along the way, my mother told me a lot that I would make a lot of money by doing this business. I listened to her and looked forward to it, and the car slowly submerged in the black night...
