Hitting Up The Big Leagues with a Tea Personality-Chapter 17

Sickly Makeup? Uglified?

“Change the lip color to bluish-purple and darken the shading on the cheeks to highlight the hollowness.”

“Add more black under the eyes!”

“Draw neck lines and hand veins. Extremely weak people won’t have such healthy skin. Whiten and shade all exposed parts!”

“As for the hair, we won’t cut it, but dye the ends to make them look withered.”

“Bring that green wool hat...for her to wear!”

When Xia Bohe heard all these, she cursed hard in her heart.

She had mingled with many crews in her past life.

There were many types of sickly makeup — the endearingly pitiful type, the weak and frail type... Generally speaking, female characters would not be uglified, and their pitifulness would be highlighted instead.

Right now, however, this makeup teacher who was obviously related to Mi Min was giving her a hard time on purpose?

This was a dying old-age makeup, not a youthful girl makeup!

The green hat, along with extreme pallor skin and withered yellow hair, all spelled out the word ‘ugly’!

“Get her done in ten minutes, I’ll check later!” 𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

The female makeup teacher hurled these words at them and left arrogantly.

Xia Bohe cursed secretly.

[Goddess Task Triggered!]

[No matter how bad the situation is, a goddess can maintain her unique elegance and beauty. Even if she is dying and has no time to take care of her appearance, she will still shine bright in the dark.]

[Task Requirement: Win the appreciation of 10 people while wearing the dying makeup.]

[Task Reward: 300 Goddess Experience; 1 Pain Experience Pill.]

The sudden system notification sound startled Xia Bohe.

She looked up at her pretty, flawless face in the mirror, then at the two meek makeup assistants. Her eyes brightened.

What was a Pain Experience Pill?

However, with 300 Experience, she could upgrade her Endearingly Pitiful skill again!

“Then I’ll leave it to you two, Big Sisters. Please use the lightest foundation for me…”

“The more sunken the face, the better!”

Ten minutes later, Mi Lan came to check. At the sight of Xia Bohe’s pale lifeless face, the ghost-like darkness under her eyes, along with her wearing a blue striped hospital gown and a ridiculously ugly green hat on her head, she burst out laughing.

“Very good.”

This look was so tragically ugly that it had stripped Xia Bohe of all her original beauty advantages.

“Thank you, teachers.”

Xia Bohe stood up and bowed slightly to them.

Her attitude was surprisingly polite.

However, a hint of mockery flashed in Mi Lan’s eyes.

Young actors who had yet to make a name for themselves had to suck up to the makeup artist, not to mention a female student like her who had yet to debut and without any illustrious background at all. Toying with her was a piece of cake!

“I hope you can play this role well.”

“After all, you took a lot of effort to snatch it from someone else!”

Since the makeup was done, Mi Lan took off her mask, revealing her overpowering aura.

Xia Bohe smiled slightly.

As expected, she was scheming against her because of Mi Min.

She did not look up but walked out of the makeup room with her back hunched.

It was as if she could not accept such an ugly appearance and ran away from the mirror with a guilty conscience.

Mi Lan snorted cheerfully.

However, she did not see the quirk at the corners of Xia Bohe’s mouth after she exited the makeup room quickly.

“All teams, get ready. Props, lighting, audio…”

“Counting down…”

The director bellowed on the stage as crew members of various jobs ran around in a hurry.

The actors gathered backstage, some holding their scripts for last-minute cramming, some using their cell phones to post selfies on social media, and some chatting together.

However, from time to time, they glanced at Xia Bohe who seemed to be taking a nap in the corner.

Ugly.

That was their conclusion no matter how many times they looked at her.

Compared with her previous beauty, the difference could fit in several of Mi Min’s faces.

You Xinji smiled.

Hearing the director’s calls, she puffed out her chest and raised her head. With confidence and superiority, she passed by Xia Bohe and walked from the waiting room to the stage.

She was the female lead, the first to appear and with the most lines.

She was destined to be the brightest and most enchanting star today.
