These needed to be accomplished by Shi Xiaoya.

Shi Xiaoya went backstage and met with Lu Man.

Director Deng Xu came over himself as well.

Shi Xiaoya saw him and greeted quickly, “Director Deng.”

“Oh, it’s Xiaoya.” Deng Xu was no stranger to Shi Xiaoya. “Who knew you’d be here? Who are you doing makeup for?”

“Lu Man,” Shi Xiaoya explained.

Deng Xu wasn’t surprised. Among all the competitors from the four schools, only Lu Man could be the one to successfully invite Shi Xiaoya.

“Haha, I’m assured with you doing the makeup for Lu Man.” With that, Deng Xu busied himself with other matters.

Shi Xiaoya chose a yellowish foundation with a darker undertone for Lu Man to bring out the unhealthy yellow tinge of the lead’s face.

“I’ve seen ‘After Sunset’ before to saw how other makeup artists created the cosmetics for the movie,” Shi Xiaoya said as she worked. “But there’s lighting and filters used for the movie, so makeup in the movie cannot be replicated exactly for makeup for a stage production.”

Lu Man could only feel Shi Xiaoya working away on her face with a brush.

She watched herself transform in the mirror—from having healthy glowing skin to having a dull yellow one.

Moreover, she looked natural, as if she was under-nourished and abused recently.

Her cheeks even appeared sunk in under her eyes.

She then saw Shi Xiaoya touch things up here, sweep a bit there, and dark spots appeared around her eyes and hairline.

“You’re incredible!” Lu Man gasped.

Just then, the NYU exchange students entered.

The school did not offer any special treatment for anyone like providing an individual dressing room for this competition.
