Outside, the conversation gradually shifted to gossiping about Olivia Lewis and her mysterious financial backer.
In the makeup room, Jasmine Clark thought the talk outside was about people envying and discussing her, so she sat in front of the mirror, admiring her own face.
At that moment, the stylist came in. She politely said to her, âMs. Lina, youâre here. Iâve been waiting for you for a long time, letâs get started.â
âMhm.â
Under normal circumstances, female stars are usually courteous to makeup artists, especially newcomers who are new to the industry, who generally treat makeup artists very politely.@@novelbin@@
It was the first time the stylist had encountered such an arrogant and thoughtless newcomer. She was taken aback, but then thinking of Jasmineâs background as a big directorâs protegee, despite her initial poor impression of Jasmine, she still smiled and went forward to start doing her makeup.
The stylist had just taken out her own makeup, one by one opening it.
Getting ready to dip her brush into the foundation to apply the base.
Suddenly, Jasmine Clark dodged away from the brush with disgust and said, âWhat brand are you using? I have to tell you, I must use custom products from international top-tier brands; otherwise, my skin will have an allergic reaction.â
âThis⦠Iâm using Hldueuye, itâs also considered a top-tier international brand, just not a custom product, should be fine, right?â
Jasmine quickly moved far away, as if what the brush was coated with was not high-end makeup, but a virus, and rebuked furiously, âIâve already said that I must use custom makeup from top-tier brands, otherwise Iâll have an allergic reaction! Does Hldueuye count as a top-tier brand? Have you never seen a top-tier brand?â
The stylist, suppressing her frustration, asked her, âThen what does Ms. Lina consider a top-tier brand?â
âIt has to be something like Feverjioney at least,â Jasmine said haughtily.
The stylist looked at her as if she were insane. Of course, she knew the brand Feverjioney, a luxury label among top-tier brands, diamond-level in the makeup world, not only ridiculously expensive but also sold in limited quantities. Generally, only socialites and A-list superstars could afford it. She was just a newcomer; even with some connection to the director, where did she get the audacity to demand Feverjioney?
âWhatâs with that look?â Before the stylist could speak, Jasmine had already glared at her, impatiently urging, âI have to use something on the level of Feverjioney, go and swap it out for that, or else I wonât have my makeup done.â
âSorry, we donât have Feverjioney here, and I donât have the channels to procure it for you. If you donât want to be made up, then so be it. When Director Ford comes asking later, I can only tell the truth, that Ms. Lina is unwilling to cooperate with my work.â
The stylistâs words had barely finished.
Jasmine slapped her hard across the face, giving the stylist a violent slap and shouted, âWho do you think you are, talking to me like that! Iâm telling you, go ahead and tattle! I donât need you anymore! Get out!â
âYou⦠youâre the one who said it!â
âWhat of it if I did?â She couldnât believe she would take any flack from some insignificant makeup artist, not after the day she had endured. That slap she just delivered proved quite cathartic, finally venting some fury over seeing Cherysh Jordan clinging to her beloved Brother William.
ââ¦â The stylist, holding her face, gave Jasmine a furious look and turned to pick up her things and left.
Just as she reached the door, she ran into Connor Ford. Connor, seeing the stylist clutching her face, her eyes brimming with tears, was taken aback and was about to ask what happened.
Jasmine had already preempted with her accusation, âDirector Ford, I donât want her as my makeup artist anymore. She clearly doesnât want to do my makeup. I told her Iâm allergic to the brand of foundation she brought, and not only did she refuse to change it, she then said she wouldnât do my makeup and was going to complain to you, accusing me of not being willing to cooperate with her.â
