Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 177: Wei Bo Photo

What was the most surprising to Liu Man was that Miao Xiaomei knew how to braid Han dynasty styles.

Miao Xiaomei combed Liu Man in a very formal hairstyle. She splitted Liu Man’s hair into two from the top of her head, and then weaved them into bundles, pulling them up from the bottom, tying most of them behind her head. A lock of hair was separated and hung to one side, looking luxurious and elegant.

In Liu Man’s previous life, court ladies often used this simple hairstyle when attending imperial banquets, and imperial concubines also often used this hairstyle.

Liu Man could do it herself, she’s seen it a lot and finds it easy.

But for modern people, it’s not necessarily true.

Miao Xiaomei’s way of combing Liu Man’s hair made Tao Zhiyao and Li Xiaoru amazed.

“Where did you learn this hairstyle? I haven’t even seen it before! It looks super complicated,” Tao Zhiyao stared at the bun on the back of Liu Man’s head for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out how Miao Xiaomei did it.

Miao Xiaomei said, “I figured it out by comparing it with the restoration pictures of ancient hair buns on the Internet.”

Liu Man praised, “You learn very fast, and your fingers are dexterous.”

“I literally watched you live-braid Man Man’s hair, but I couldn’t understand your movements, let alone learn it. I don’t think I can learn it in my life,” Tao Zhiyao gave Miao Xiaomei a big thumbs up.

“Yep, we suck at this,” Li Xiaoru remembered that ponytails and french braids were her limits in terms of hair.

Miao Xiaomei was embarrassed by the praise, “It’s alright, practice makes perfect.”

Tao Zhiyao was curious, “Did you ever go to those professional make-up artist schools?

Miao Xiaomei shook her head and said honestly, “I didn’t really learn, I started to work even before I finished middle school. I used to be a waitress at a restaurant, then I worked in a factory, then a student in theater. Following my teacher day by day, I figured out how to do make-up.”

It was easy for her to describe, but Liu Man and the others could hear how hard her life must’ve been, and the hint of self-doubt in her tone.

Compared with the Music School and Jinghua University’s top students, her past was really nothing.

“Everyone’s good at different things, focusing and mastering one thing is amazing enough. Obviously everyone has limits on their amount of energy. You’re just not fit for going to school, but you have immense talent in the makeup field. You are even more exceptional than many other ordinary people in the world. Just keep on practicing and one day, I believe you will become a make-up master.” Liu Man encouraged her.

Miao Xiaomei saw the encouragement in Liu Man’s eyes and she was suddenly filled with confidence, “Thank you! I will work hard for the Hanfu goddess!

Seeing her full of energy, Li Xiaoru and Tao Zhiyao both laughed.

Tao Zhiyao took three photos of each pose Liu Man and Li Xiaoru made. They tried to hurry since Tao Zhiyao didn’t want to interfere with their study time.

That night, Tao Zhiyao finished processing the photos and sent them to the chat.

“Wow, so pretty! Sis Peach you are amazing, I never knew I was this pretty~ (Shy).” –Li Xiaoru

Liu Man thought the pictures were amazing as well.

There were in total nine pictures, except from the six they took today, the other three were photos from the live performance.

Liu Man and Li Xiaoru both posted the pictures on their Wei Bo, Liu Man captioned: “Sharing photos of me and my partner! Thank you @Xixihaha, thank you @Peach Is a Fairy.”

TL Note: I don’t know how to translate Li Xiaoru’s Wei Bo username, someone please tell me either in comments or discord server. Thanks!

Li Xiaoru captioned: “The first real photo shoot of my life, it’s SOOOO pretty!! Thank you Sis Peach! @Peach Is a Fairy.”

Nine pictures, the two coincidentally both put their concert photos last, it’s not that they thought Tao Zhiyao’s skills were bad, but instead it was because of the makeup. The two makeup had huge differences, Liu Man was alright but it was completely different on Li Xiaoru’s face.

TL Note: Not shaming Li Xiaoru but the author was referring to how Zhang Jiaojiao and Miao Xiaomei were two completely different levels. Since Liu Man’s face was ‘perfect’ (Since she is the MC lmao) the difference couldn’t quite show.

Zhang Jiaojiao turned Li Xiaoru into an internet celebrity face with the appearance of a Barbie doll. Watching the video, with the sound of her piano, it is indeed very amazing. But plain photos don’t have sound effects. Just looking at her makeup, it feels that it is the same without any personal characteristics. People who are familiar with Li Xiaoru would need a minute to even recognize her.

The makeup made by Miao Xiaomei is very fresh and natural, unlike Zhang Jiaojiao who gave Li Xiaoru heavy makeup, she puts her main work on retouching the shortcomings of Li Xiaoru’s facial features. At first glance, people would know that this must be Li Xiaoru, but she’s magically prettier than before. Yet people can’t find exactly what difference there was, Miao Xiaomei’s craftsmanship was truly amazing.

Li Xiaoru loved the style Miao Xiaomei gave her, she then sent another Wei Bo, thanking her: “I looked at my picture more, the make-up artist is too good! Thank you so much Sis!”

But alas, she didn’t have Miao Xiaomei’s Wei Bo, she doesn’t even know if the girl has Wei Bo or not. So she couldn’t @ her.

Because of the concert, Li Xiaoru received many followers. She has more than 40k followers. After her Wei Bo, many fans retweeted her messay and also @Princess Man in the process.

“The two sis went to an artistic photo shoot together, and it’s a clash between Eastern and Western, I love this style!”

“It’d be so much better with their own instruments!”

“The girlie on the piano looks so much better.”

“Last time it’s called stage makeup, this one is more natural.”

……

Netizens also thought that Miao Xiaomei’s makeup skills were amazing, and the public’s eyes are sharp.

Peach is a Fairy, who received an @ from both of them gave them a like on their posts.

Ever since the fact that Peach is a Fairy was rich was exposed, her Weibo has been followed by many Princess Man fans. Her number of fans was originally only a few hundred, but now there are tens of thousands.

Everyone pays attention to her because they want to see a Bai Fumei’s daily life, but in her Weibo, she either reposts some pictures of cats and dogs, or posts still life photos or small videos she’s taken. There were even no photos of her face in her Wei Bo.

Sun Weiwei followed Liu Man and Peache’s Weibo, she thought that these photos were great as well, so she used Happy Guo Guo’s official Weibo account to comment: “This make-up artist is truly talented, Sis Peach’s camera skills are amazing as well, I give you 100 likes.”

Sun Weiwei would never think that because of this one sentence, she angered both He Qisi and Zhang Jiaojiao at the same time.

He Qisi immediately called her and scolded her, “How could you use our team’s Weibo account to post private comments?”

Sun Weiwei was in a daze holding her phone. Her mind was empty for a while. He Qisi had never spoken to her in such a blunt tone before. Even though she usually had an outstanding eloquence, she wasn’t able to speak at the moment.
