A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 135 Liu Yixin's First Exploration of Makeup

On a Saturday morning, as sunlight peeked through the curtains like a mischievous child, a loud roar erupted from Liu Yixin's bedroom. "Liu Yixin! If you don't get up now, you'll be late for your makeup training school registration!" The high-decibel voice was unmistakably Liu Yixin's mother, Li Yuan.

Liu Yixin rolled over in bed and mumbled, "Mom, let me sleep a little longer. Last night I dreamed that I became a top makeup artist and did makeup for a bunch of celebrities."

Just then, her father, Liu Xuan, strolled in leisurely, smiling as he said, "My dear daughter, you need to get up and make your dream come true. What if you're late and the school thinks we're not sincere and doesn't accept you, the future beauty star?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yixin immediately opened her eyes and jumped out of bed: "No, I must learn makeup!" With that, she rushed to the bathroom to start washing up.

Throughout the journey, Liu Yixin sat in the back seat, chattering excitedly like a little bird. "Dad, Mom, do you think I'll be able to do makeup for big stars after I learn it? Maybe one day I'll work with these stars."

As Liu Xuan drove, he joked, "Of course! My daughter is so talented, she'll definitely be a superstar in the makeup industry someday. When that happens, I'll have to tell everyone I'm Liu Yixin's dad, and maybe I can even get some celebrity autographs."

Li Yuan rolled her eyes at Liu Xuan with a smile: "You just blindly follow the crowd. Yi Xin, learning makeup isn't as easy as you think. It involves a lot of hard work. Can you stick with it?"

Liu Yixin patted her chest and assured her, "Mom, don't worry, I can definitely do it! I fell in love with makeup at first sight. Ever since I saw those beauty bloggers' videos, I've decided to go down this path."

The three arrived at the makeup training school. Upon entering the school gate, Liu Yixin was like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, her eyes wide with amazement. The lobby was filled with various exquisite makeup display photos, ranging from fresh and natural nude makeup to glamorous and dazzling stage makeup, and even creative special effects makeup.

The receptionist greeted us warmly: "Hello, are you here to register? I'm Ms. Zhang, your course consultant."

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter really loves makeup, so she came to see the course today."

Teacher Zhang led them to a classroom where a basic makeup class was being held.

The teacher stood on the platform with a makeup brush, demonstrating and explaining at the same time: "Class, makeup is like magic, allowing everyone to discover their unique beauty. For example, base makeup is like laying down the base color of a painting; it should be even and natural..."

Liu Yixin was so engrossed in watching that she couldn't help but whisper to her mother next to her, "Mom, look how well the teacher draws! I wish I could be that good."

Li Yuan gently patted her hand: "Don't worry, as long as you study hard, you'll definitely be fine."

After Teacher Zhang finished introducing the course, Liu Yixin couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher Zhang, I see there are many different types of makeup here. What are the differences between them?"

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "There are so many! Simply put, everyday makeup mainly emphasizes a natural and fresh look, making people look energetic and comfortable, suitable for everyday work or school. Evening makeup, on the other hand, is more glamorous, with brighter colors and the use of glitter and sparkle to add a touch of shimmer, making it especially suitable for parties and banquets. Then there's stage makeup, which is super dramatic because the stage lights are so strong that light makeup is practically invisible..."

Liu Yixin's eyes lit up as she listened, and suddenly her mind was filled with a brilliant idea: "Teacher Zhang, is there any kind of makeup that can make people instantly invisible? If I learn it, I can secretly do a lot of fun things without my parents finding out."

These words immediately made everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Xuan chuckled and flicked Liu Yixin's forehead: "You little rascal, always thinking about slacking off. There's no such thing as invisibility makeup, but if there really were, it would probably turn people into 'ghosts'."

Teacher Zhang suppressed a laugh and said, "Although there is no invisibility makeup, there are some special effects makeup that can make people look like a completely different person, such as simulating wounds, scars, and turning people into animals. These all require special materials and techniques."

Liu Yixin excitedly pulled Teacher Zhang aside: "Teacher Zhang, tell me about special effects makeup, it's so interesting!"

Teacher Zhang led them to the special effects makeup classroom, which was filled with all sorts of strange props and materials. "Students, this is liquid latex, which can be used to make fake skin and wounds; this is sculpting wax, which can create all sorts of three-dimensional effects..."

Liu Yixin curiously picked up a bottle filled with green liquid: "Teacher Zhang, what is this? It looks like venom."

Teacher Zhang said, "This is a special pigment used to color special effects makeup. Don't underestimate it; it can be mixed to create all sorts of amazing colors."

Liu Yixin then asked, "Are these special effects makeup looks difficult to apply?"

Teacher Zhang replied, "Special effects makeup is relatively more complex and requires more time and effort. But as long as you master the methods and practice more, you can also do it very well. For example, to make a realistic wound, you first need to use sculpting wax to create the shape of the wound, then apply paint, and finally use blood to increase the realism..."

Liu Yixin listened with great interest, occasionally asking questions that made people chuckle. "Teacher Zhang, what if I went out with makeup on that looked like I had a wound, and people thought I was injured and called an ambulance?"

Liu Xuan said helplessly from the side, "Girl, don't do something so silly. But if you really do, just tell the doctor, 'I'm sorry, this is special effects makeup, I'm sorry for the trouble.'"

After touring the classroom, Teacher Zhang began to introduce the course schedule. "Our courses are divided into basic, intermediate, and advanced classes. The basic class mainly teaches the use of makeup tools and the steps of basic makeup; the intermediate class covers various makeup styles and hairstyle design; the advanced class focuses on special effects makeup, creative makeup, and the latest trends in fashion makeup..."

After listening, Liu Yixin turned to her parents and asked, "Dad, Mom, which class do you think is suitable for me?"

Li Yuan said, "I think we should start with the basic course and build a solid foundation so that learning the later lessons will be easier. What do you think, Lao Liu?"

Liu Xuan nodded in agreement: "That's right, a tall building starts from the ground up. My dear daughter, just focus on your studies, and your parents will fully support you."

Liu Yixin happily hugged her parents: "Thank you, Mom and Dad! I will definitely study hard and strive to become a makeup master as soon as possible."

Next, Liu Yixin started worrying about the class schedule. "Teacher Zhang, when is class?"

Teacher Zhang patiently explained, "We have morning and afternoon classes from Monday to Friday, as well as other courses. You can choose according to your own time. Moreover, the courses are taught on a cyclical basis, so even if you miss a few classes due to something, you can make up for them in later classes."

Liu Yixin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. I don't want to miss any classes."

While paying for her registration, Liu Yixin suddenly thought of something: "Dad, Mom, if I become a makeup master, I'll definitely earn back many times the money I'm spending on makeup lessons. How about I write you an IOU and pay you back when I make money?"

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Silly girl, this money is money your parents are willingly spending for you, you don't need to pay it back. As long as you can realize your dream, we'll be happy."

Li Yuan also said, "Yes, as long as you study hard and don't let us down, that's fine."

Liu Yixin's eyes welled up with tears: "Mom and Dad, you're both so kind. I will definitely work hard!"

After completing all the formalities, Liu Yixin excitedly strolled around the school again, clutching her class schedule. Looking at her classmates diligently learning makeup in the classrooms, she felt as if she were seeing her future self reflected in them.

On the way home, Liu Yixin excitedly shared her day's experiences with her parents. "Dad, Mom, I saw so many makeup tools and materials that I'd never seen before! It was amazing! I also learned about the characteristics of different makeup looks, so now I can do my own and your makeup for different occasions!"

Liu Xuan laughed and said, "Then Dad will be looking forward to enjoying his daughter's makeup services. Maybe when I go out in the future, people will praise me for looking young and handsome and ask me if I have any beauty secrets. I will just say that it is all thanks to my daughter's makeup."

Li Yuan also said with a smile, "I'm also looking forward to Yi Xin giving me a beautiful makeup look so I can show off when I go out to meet my girlfriends."

Liu Yixin patted her chest and assured them, "No problem! Leave it to me. Once I learn it, I'll make you the coolest people in your circle of friends."

The setting sun cast its golden rays upon their car, and the laughter of the family of three echoed on their way home. Liu Yixin was filled with anticipation for her future career in the beauty industry; she knew it would be a challenging yet incredibly exciting journey.
