Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Started Streaming Without Makeup.

“Wow, is the streamer not wearing makeup today? Her skin looks so good!”

“Psh, it’s obviously fake no-makeup makeup. If you look closely, she has eyebrows, eyeliner, and false eyelashes.”

“I think she’s really not wearing makeup. Unless the streamer’s hands are so skillful that she can leave no trace of makeup.”

Looking at the debate in the comments, Yue Lei’s heart was calm.

She started streaming without makeup today, so she had already anticipated this kind of trolling.

After the makeup products were ready, Yue Lei said her first words of the day: “Good afternoon, babies. Today we’re doing a makeup stream. So the first step is to start with a clean face.”

Then she moved closer to the phone that was live streaming, took it off, and walked all the way to the bathroom.

Yue Lei put the phone on the bathroom counter and adjusted the angle slightly.

Then she started to show the cleanser, wetting her face with water, and then rubbing it into a rich lather to wash her face.

“Where are the people who said it was fake no-makeup makeup? Can you wash your face like this without removing your makeup? Lol.”

“No way, she’s actually washing her face! I’d say washing her face isn’t enough. She should use makeup remover to wipe it again. Cleanser isn’t strong enough.”

“What are you talking about? Using makeup remover when you’re not wearing makeup? Do you think the streamer’s skin is made of iron?”

“Where are you from, streamer? Do you naturally have thick hair, curled eyelashes without falsies, and black eyebrows without drawing them?”

After washing her face, Yue Lei used a face towel to absorb the water. While applying skincare products, she took a quick look at the comments.

She ignored the arguments and gestured on her face with her fingers: “These features are natural. Not many locals are like this. Are you jealous?”

After washing her face, Yue Lei went back to the bay window and sat down. She started to fix her hair, gathering the excess strands behind her head, ready to do her makeup.

The viewers, being sharp-eyed, took the opportunity to compare the screenshots from when the stream started.

They were surprised to find that there was no difference in the streamer’s face before and after washing it. She really was streaming without makeup!

The people who were trolling were now embarrassed, but some of them still didn’t want to leave the live stream. The thin-skinned ones sent some small gifts to apologize, while the thick-skinned ones were still looking for an opportunity to argue.

Yue Lei started to get to the point. She first showed them a few spin-the-wheel programs she had made on her computer, categorized by type and her existing makeup colors.

“Today, we’re doing a random makeup challenge. We’ll spin for the color! The sunscreen and primer colors don’t vary much, so I’ve already applied them.”

She opened the foundation wheel, which was evenly divided into ten colors, and explained the rules: “Now for the first choice, foundation! The viewers will decide what color we land on. We’ll start a poll and adjust the wheel’s proportions based on that.”

Yue Lei started a one-minute quick poll with the wheel’s proportions written on it.

Participating in the poll would enter them into a live stream coin giveaway.

She lined up the ten bottles of foundation she had bought, from the whitest, which could painlessly cosplay a vampire, to the darkest, which could cosplay a coal miner, and tapped her fingers on the table.

Z: “What gift can I send to choose? (Paid comment)”

Yue Lei raised her eyebrows, noticing that this was the first time Miss Z had spoken today.

She immediately started her enthusiastic performance: “Welcome, Wifey ZZ. Good afternoon, Wifey ZZ. Since you weren’t talking, I thought you weren’t here.”

After greeting her, she didn’t neglect the other viewers and continued: “The rules are that everyone can play. For the first makeup look, you don’t have to send a gift. Just vote, and I’ll give you live stream coins.

Today’s stream will be a bit longer. We can do at least three makeup looks. We’ll save the last one for you to choose.”

The main reason for doing a makeup stream today was to have fun with everyone.

During the preparation, Yue Lei spent half an hour covering the brand names of all the products she was going to use with stickers.

Live streaming was still a high-cost business. She really wanted to make some money today.

As expected, the trolls found their keywords and immediately got excited.

“This is forcing people to spend money. Do you have to send gifts to watch your stream?”

“Exactly. It’s just a makeup stream. Who hasn’t seen one before? She’s actually asking for gifts. It’s so tacky!”

But Yue Lei didn’t have to respond to this level of maliciousness.

Lin Zhixi and the others would naturally fire back and bring the comments back to a normal state.

A minute passed, and the poll was over.

Since the stream had just started ten minutes ago, there weren’t many people in the live stream, only a little over fifty people had voted.

Yue Lei: “Now I’m going to add everyone’s votes to the foundation wheel. This one has eight votes, this one has two… Haha, are you trying to make me look ridiculous?”

The fan-shaped sections had now changed from being evenly divided to being wide and narrow.

The lightest and darkest foundation shades took up half of the wheel, while the other eight relatively normal shades were crammed into the remaining half, with only two or three votes each.

The comments were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

“Hahaha, I thought others would vote for normal shades. I really want to see a dark-skinned hot girl.”

“I’m sorry, CEO Yue. Since I’m here, I want to see something I’ve never seen before.”

Although Yue Lei put her hand on her forehead and made a pained smile, she was happy in her heart.

She was good-looking, so she could pull off any makeup look. She was only afraid that it would be too bland, wouldn’t attract passersby’s attention, and wouldn’t leave a lasting impression on people.

Z: “You should’ve let me choose in the first place. (Paid comment)”

Z: “Sent 999 flowers X1”

After being spoiled by Miss Z again, Yue Lei stopped her wailing at the right time: “I have to accept the outcome. Thank you, Wifey ZZ, for the flowers. Now, let’s start spinning. What if I’m lucky?”

Yue Lei aimed the foundation wheel at the camera and then put her hands together as if in prayer.

She closed her eyes and muttered: “Normal shade, normal shade…”

She had just opened her eyes when she was blinded by an even more magnificent gift.

Yue Lei: “Ah, ah, ah, thank you, Wifey ZZ, for the Royal Estate. This gift effect is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s so gorgeous and beautiful.”

Then she calmed down: “Wait, wait. Why are you suddenly sending me gifts now? I need to see what foundation shade I got first.”

After seeing the result on the wheel, the smile on Yue Lei’s face completely froze.

How unlucky. She had landed on the second-to-last darkest shade.

So Miss Z’s gift was to comfort her…

“I wanted to do a beauty stream to get some fans who appreciate looks, but now I think I was overthinking it.” Yue Lei squeezed a pump of foundation onto the back of her hand and spread it out.

The rich, dark chocolate color couldn’t be blended on her fair hand and looked dirty no matter how she looked at it.

Yue Lei smiled wryly: “Should I say that you all care about me? At least it’s not the pitch-black color. Thank you, my people, for leaving me a chance to show off my facial features.”

But what was done was done. It was too late to go back on her word now.

Especially since Miss Z was lurking in the live stream, ready to hit her with gifts and tempt her to change her principles with money.

If she complained, and Miss Z sent a gift, her complaint would seem like she was just acting cute…

“Next, let’s choose the eyebrow color, but I feel like it’s pointless to choose.” Yue Lei held up the back of her hand to show everyone. “With this color as a base, the eyebrow powder and pencil I have might not show up much. Only the tinted brow gel might work.”

This time, she didn’t have to ask. The viewers started voting on their own, and the comments came in fast and furious.

One minute later, Yue Lei filled the wheel with everyone’s votes.

She looked at the camera suspiciously, as if she wanted to see what her viewers were up to.

She didn’t know what to say about the results. “Again, the darkest and lightest shades are the most popular. Are we going to be stuck with black and white today? Or are our babies usually this wild with their makeup?”

Z: “The doctor said I have pica, so I need something wild to eat. (Paid comment)”

The comments joined in on the fun.

“Aren’t we all just afraid it won’t show up? White eyebrows on dark skin are divine!”

“Exactly, exactly. Like owner, like fan. I also go out with a white face one day and a black face the next, just as wild as our CEO Yue.”

“How did you know I’m a master of face-changing? Not just black and white faces, but red, blue, and yellow faces. I have all the colors you like!”

With the dark brown foundation as a start, the other makeup products seemed like an afterthought.

Yue Lei wasn’t in the mood to pray anymore. Her eyes were fixed on the wheel.

“Ah! I really got white! White is fine. I was really afraid of getting a color that wouldn’t show up and making me look like a warrior with no eyebrows.”

The answer this time was also strange, but Yue Lei laughed instead.

“Next is the eye makeup. I bought a lot of eyeshadow palettes, with hundreds of colors. We’ll divide them by color scheme.” Yue Lei sent out the pre-set poll.

“Oh my gosh, blue! Well, blue it is!”

“What’s next? Oh, contouring.”

“White contour on dark skin. I wonder if it’s still necessary to vote for blush.”

“And finally, lipstick… After all the torture from before, I think I can accept any color now…”

It must be said that there were a lot of people who liked to watch a good show.

And the more people there were, the stranger the voting results became.

As the first round of voting ended and the answers were revealed one by one, the number of viewers in the live stream grew.

It seemed that everyone wanted to see what she would turn herself into with these colors.

Yue Lei selected the makeup products she was going to use, feeling like a general who was about to go into a fierce battle!

She took out the powder puff with high spirits. “Sister is going to start doing her makeup! Even though the colors I got today are not ideal, I’m going to show you what it means to have a face that holds its own!”

Z: “I know. (Paid comment)”

Z: “Sent ‘Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains’ X1”

Why did it feel like Miss Z was sending even more outrageous gifts after not seeing her for a few days?

She was just shamelessly sending gifts!

Yue Lei shrieked: “NO!!! Wifey ZZ, that’s not what I meant!”

“Hahahaha, she triggered the Miss Z gift keyword again!”

“Come and get the gift red packets! When can I be this rich too! My favorite streamer says her face holds its own, and I just go bam, giving her a ‘Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains’ gift! It feels so good, so good!”
