Chapter 294 The Great Reconciliation Operation Between the Heavily Makeup Grandma and Her "Rebe
Liu Yixin and Fu Yu, a husband-and-wife makeup artist team, have been working in the film and television industry for many years. However, a wealthy grandmother with a unique style recently came to the film crew, which really opened their eyes.
That day, Liu Yixin hummed a little tune as she tidied up the bottles and jars on her vanity, while Fu Yu adjusted the lights, preparing for the new day's "makeup challenge."
"Honey, what kind of actors do you think we'll run into today?" Liu Yixin asked with a grin, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Fu Yu didn't even look up, busy fiddling with the lamp stand. "Who cares? With these 'magical hands,' what makeup can't I handle?"
Just then, a flurry of footsteps approached, followed by a loud voice: "Hey, you've finally arrived! Hurry up and get me all ready!"
The two looked up and saw an elderly woman standing at the door, dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam with several strings of pearl necklaces around her neck. Her makeup was so heavy that it looked like she had just come off the stage, with bright red lips and exaggerated eyeshadow. She was a veritable "queen of heavy makeup".
Liu Yixin and Fu Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes, but their professionalism quickly brought them back to their senses.
"Grandma, please have a seat. We'll do your makeup right away," Liu Yixin greeted warmly, but inwardly she wondered: Grandma's aesthetic sense is really unique.
While she was getting her makeup done, Grandma kept saying, "Let me tell you, I was absolutely stunning when I was young. Even though I'm old now, my love for beauty hasn't changed at all. I love wearing heavy makeup; it makes me stand out wherever I go!"
Liu Yixin smiled and agreed, "Grandma, that's called individuality, and it looks really good!" But in her heart, she silently thought: This is a bit too individualistic.
Later, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu learned from other members of the crew that the grandmother's grandson had a lot of complaints about her heavy makeup. He got a headache every time he saw it and was even reluctant to spend time with his grandmother, thinking that her makeup was too "eye-catching".
Days passed by, and Grandma continued to come to the film set every day with heavy makeup, while the "makeup conflict" between her and her grandson deepened.
One day, a commotion suddenly broke out on set. Liu Yixin and Fu Yu curiously peeked out and saw the grandmother's grandson stride into the set with a dark expression, heading straight for his grandmother.
"Grandma, could you please stop wearing such heavy makeup? Look at yourself now, what do you look like!" The grandson's voice was full of helplessness and frustration.
Grandma was displeased when she heard this. She glared at me and said, "What's it to you if I wear makeup? I like it this way, and I'm happy with it!"
The two women argued back and forth, neither willing to give in, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Liu Yixin and Fu Yu watched from the sidelines, feeling uneasy as well.
"Honey, do you think we can help them? It's such a shame that this grandmother and granddaughter are fighting like this over makeup," Liu Yixin nudged Fu Yu and whispered.
Fu Yu frowned and thought for a moment, "Hmm, I think it's okay, but we need to plan this carefully and not be too rash."
Just then, Grandma stormed into Liu Yixin and Fu Yu's workspace, plopped down in a chair, and grumbled, "Hmph, this child is getting more and more out of line, even interfering with my makeup!"
Liu Yixin quickly stepped forward, handing her grandmother a glass of water as she said, "Grandma, please calm down. I think your grandson is probably just worried about you; he doesn't understand your pursuit of beauty."
Grandma took a sip of water, and her emotions calmed down a bit. "He just doesn't understand me. I've loved being beautiful all my life, and I don't want to change it now that I'm old."
Liu Yixin had a sudden inspiration. "Grandma, how about this? We'll give you a different kind of makeup that retains your love of beauty without being too exaggerated. What do you think?"
Grandma looked at her with a skeptical expression. "Really? It can really have that kind of effect?"
Fu Yu chimed in, "Grandma, don't worry, we guarantee you'll be satisfied. Maybe your grandson will like it too."
Grandma hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Alright then, I'll trust you this once."
Without further ado, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu immediately got to work. While putting on makeup, Liu Yixin chatted with her grandmother: "Grandma, do you know? Makeup doesn't necessarily have to be heavy to look good. Sometimes, a lighter touch can better highlight your elegance."
Grandma listened with a hint of skepticism, "Really? I've always thought heavy makeup is the most attractive."
Liu Yixin explained with a smile, "That was in the past. Now, natural beauty is in fashion. Look, we've used this light foundation on you. It can cover up minor imperfections while letting your skin's natural glow shine through. Isn't that beautiful?"
Under Liu Yixin's skillful hands, Grandma's originally exaggerated bright red lips were transformed into a gentle mauve color, and her heavy eyeshadow was replaced with a light pink. With the addition of carefully drawn eyebrows, her whole temperament changed instantly, transforming her from a "heavily made-up" woman into an elegant and intellectual old lady.
"Grandma, look in the mirror," Liu Yixin said with a smile.
Grandma opened her eyes, stared at herself in the mirror, and froze. After a long while, she murmured, "Is this...is this me? I feel like I've suddenly become several years younger, and so beautiful."
Fu Yu smiled and said, "Grandma, this is you, just in a different way."
Grandma excitedly grabbed Liu Yixin and Fu Yu's hands, "Thank you so much! I'll go find my grandson right now and let him see you."
After saying that, Grandma went out. Liu Yixin and Fu Yu followed her out curiously, wanting to see how the grandmother and grandson would react.
The grandmother found her grandson on the film set, and the grandson was stunned when he saw his grandmother.
"Grandma, what...what's wrong with you?" the grandson stammered.
Grandma said a little shyly, "I changed my makeup, does it look good?"
The grandson stepped forward, looked closely at his grandmother, and his eyes suddenly reddened. "Grandma, you look beautiful, so beautiful. I didn't think your makeup was bad before, I just thought it was too heavy and bad for your skin, and... and I was afraid people would laugh at you."
Grandma's eyes welled up with tears as she listened. "Silly child, Grandma misunderstood you. From now on, Grandma will wear this light makeup, okay?"
The grandson nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, Grandma, you look beautiful no matter what."
Seeing this, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu exchanged a smile, their hearts filled with relief.
From then on, Grandma came to the film set happily every day, her makeup elegant and refined, and her relationship with her grandson became incredibly close. Liu Yixin and Fu Yu also became famous on set because of this incident; everyone praised them not only for their excellent makeup skills but also for their ability to resolve family conflicts.
That day, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu were busy in the workshop when Grandma walked in, humming a little tune.
"Xin'er, Xiao Fu, what new tricks do you have up your sleeve today?" Grandma asked with a smile.
Liu Yixin said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm going to give you a new eyebrow shape today, I guarantee it will make you look younger!"
Grandma beamed with joy, "Alright, I believe you!"
Amidst laughter and joy, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu continued their makeup careers, and the story of the reconciliation between the grandmother and grandson that they witnessed became a popular topic of conversation among everyone on set.
