### Chapter 138: Master-Level Makeup Skills
“Why do you need makeup?”
Gan Yan Yu’s voice was a bit slurred as if she had just woken up. But it was clear she was quite surprised.
“Recently, I’ve been teaching myself online, wanted to put it into practice,” Lin Tian said.
“Oh! You scared me.”
“So where were you thinking about?”
“I do have some, but not much. I don’t usually wear makeup,” Gan Yan Yu replied softly.
“Don’t worry, it’s enough for now.”
“Then come on over.”
After hanging up the call, Lin Tian packed his stuff and rushed to Gan Yan Yu’s house.
He opened the door.
Gan Yan Yu had slightly messy hair and was wearing pink pajamas. She looked groggy as if just waking up.
Rubbing her eyes, she yawned widely and said, “So early.”
“Gan Teacher,” Lin Tian couldn’t help but speak up.
“What?”
“Is that your new pajama set?”
“Yeah, why?”
“To my place, it’s just down the street. From now on, there’s no need to change clothes specially. Just come as you are,” Lin Tian declared with a serious face.
“Lin Tian, you sure like all sorts of styles.”
Gan Yan Yu narrowed her eyes. It was kind of a compliment and a tease at the same time.
She had long, beautiful legs indeed and dressed in sleeveless dresses or strapless ones, adding even more charm.
But here was Gan Yan Yu, looking all disheveled right after waking up, in her pajamas, looking so naturally cute and vulnerable—quite a rare sight. This was the most vulnerable stage for any girl.
If this was any ordinary college student, seeing this side would surely lead to disaster when spotted by a boy.
But, thankfully, Gan Yan Yu’s good looks were solid, defying all negative comments:
Even in this state, cuteness overflowed like crazy.
Who knew if it was because she didn’t treat Lin Tian as an outsider, or because of her confidence, that she could still be so relaxed.
It made Lin Tian imagine that even if one day Gan Yan Yu landed herself homeless, looking grimy and ragged, she could still get by just by raising her little face and muttering, “Hungry, hungry,” to passersby.
Speaking of which,
Was it finally okay for Gan Teacher to start wearing pink?
But Lin Tian seemed very laid-back.
Whether he was anywhere, he almost always wore short sleeves with large shorts and big flip-flops.
True essence of the Guangdong Province.
Despite never having spoken up against him directly, Gan Teacher could not hide her dissatisfaction towards his fashion choices.
“You can wait in the living room,” Gan Yan Yu led him into the living room before heading into her room and closing the door behind her.
That’s so formal.
I already went inside earlier.
Lin Tian felt a bit annoyed as if he was being kept at arm’s length.
If only he had taken a few pictures back then. He could threaten Gan Yan Yu later, saying if she didn’t let him in, he’d release the photos!
“…”
“Coming.”
As Lin Tian was lost in reverie, Gan Yan Yu came out carrying a small bag. She dumped out its contents on the table—a few bottles, some brushes, a couple of sponges.
It turned out she wasn’t lying.
“There’s your primer and foundation cream.”
“Your contour palette.”
“Eyeshadow palette.”
“Pencil eyeliner and eyebrow pencil.”
“Blush and lipstick.”
“You’re done?”
Lin Tian couldn’t believe how few they were.
“Yup.”
“Not enough?”
He had heard of people having limited makeup kits, but this was quite sparse.
“Aren’t you going to moisturize? You’ll break out!”
“My skin doesn’t require it.”
Weakly, Gan Yan Yu responded.
“Right…”
Her almost nonexistent usage frequency and skin conditions did make acne prevention seem unnecessary.
“What about concealer?”
But then he saw her face. Flawless, smooth.
Concealer?
There was nothing to hide!
There wasn’t a blemish in sight.
At that moment,
The way Gan Yan Yu looked, confused yet innocent…
Became the ultimate “I’m too good for this” moment for all girls.
“Gan Teacher, sometimes, having fewer friends genuinely has its perks,” Lin Tian said emotionally.
If Gan Yan Yu were placed in middle or high school with lower educational standards, she would surely become the object of isolation for the whole class.
“Huh?”
Gan Yan Yu pursed her lips, clearly confused.
“But these cosmetics are plenty enough.”
Even with limited items, everything necessary for a full look were there.
Lin Tian picked up the foundation and noted the weight, feeling it was barely used, confirming Gan Yan Yu rarely used makeup.
Apart from performances, she clearly didn’t need it.
However, makeup isn’t just about making someone look better, but transforming their style.
Like how Gan Yan Yu looks—typical innocent face giving off moonlight vibes. For the stage, more mature makeup is necessary to convey a grounded yet sophisticated image as a musician.
Similarly, Lin Tian himself exuded a youthful vibe, looking like a typical high school student.
To emphasize other charms, makeup comes in handy!
Soon, Lin Tian started in.
He squeezed out primer cream and dabbed it on his face.
Gan Yan Yu watched curiously.
When told he’d try it, she didn’t believe it.
But seeing him work, she widened her eyes slightly.
Not bad, actually pretty standard.
More proficient than some girls.
Just from watching videos, learned it all on his own?
“…”
Boys’ makeup differs from girls’.
For boys, naturalness is key.
Best to look like no makeup was used at all, while still looking refined.
In no time, he was done.
Next, he adjusted his hairstyle in front of the mirror.
Deciding on his “M fringe,” he hesitated.
“Gan Teacher, take a look at my hair?”
He spoke.
But no answer from behind.
“Gan Teacher?”
Hearing no response, he turned around.
Next to him, Gan Yan Yu froze.
“What’s…”
“Wrong?” Lin Tian quickly asked, a bit nervous.
“Lin Tian,”
She trembled her lips and said,
“This is the first time I realized how great your taste in clothes is.”
