Okay, we'll stop here for today.
Next time we'll be starting by going over your homework assignment, so please make sure to have it complete by then.

(So you're supposed to thoroughly clean your skin first before applying your base makeup...)
Kohane
(Wait...
Primer, foundation, concealer...
There's a lot more involved than I thought.)

Haruka
Sorry for coming so suddenly, but I came to return that notebook you lent me earlier.
Haruka
No, I'm sorry too.
I was a little surprised is all since you don't usually wear any makeup.

Kohane
It's just... One thing led to another and I'm having to do some research on the subject.

Kohane
But on top of everything that I need to get, I have to figure out how to apply it. Which is why I'm starting to get a little worried...
Kohane
But for An and Shinonome's sake...
And for Aoyagi's sake since he agreed to help me... I need to cram as much as I can...!

Haruka
I learned how to do makeup from a stylist a little while back, so I can try teaching you what I know.
Haruka
I should also be able to give you some advice when it comes to posing and stuff for your shoot.
Haruka
I just happen to have that day off, so I should be able to join you. We have a little more free time now after hiring a manager.
Haruka
I'd love to. This is the least I can do since you've been nice enough to share your notes and stuff with me.

Yes, it's been a while.
I'm a complete novice when it comes to modelling, so I can't thank you enough for being here.

Haruka
Then, can we begin by going over the rules and guidelines for this contest again...?
Kohane
Let's see...
“Entrants are required to use cosmetic products by Colore Mi and send in their photos through the entry website listed here.”
“Entrants are required to use cosmetic products by Colore Mi and send in their photos through the entry website listed here.”
Kohane
Oh, we're actually allowed to use other brands, but we at the very least have to use Colore Mi for eye shadow and lips...
Haruka
I'm guessing they want us to capture certain aspects of Valentine's Day through makeup.
Haruka
For example, using dark chocolate browns for a more mature look or a combination of pinks to appear more sweet is pretty standard.
Kohane
Oh, uhh...
“Each entrant may submit up to three photos. Entries will be ranked based on the total number of likes they receive.”

Kohane
“Voters may like up to five photos. If one finds a photo they like more, they will be able to reconsider their previous choices.”
Toya
If people are able to change their votes, then it seems prudent to take the highest quality photos we can.
Kohane
Umm... All photos must be submitted by five this afternoon, and voting will end at nine this evening.
Haruka
Alright, time is of the essence, so let's get started. First, we need to grab some makeup.
Haruka
The cosmetics department on this floor has a unisex powder room, so we can apply everything there.

Toya
No, nothing's wrong... I couldn't help but feel somewhat stunned since I'd only ever seen this area from afar.
Toya
I didn't realize cosmetics came in so many different shapes and sizes. There appears to be a countless number of these makeup pens alone.
Haruka
The thing is, a lot of these look the same, but they all have their uses. Like coloring in your brows or lining your eyes.
Haruka
These liquids and gels go on differently depending on what was used to make them. We'll discuss those in more detail when we decide which to buy...
Kohane
Oh, Haruka...
This eye shadow palette apparently includes some limited edition Valentine's Day colors.

Haruka
Yeah, this chocolate-colored one's really cute. It goes perfectly with our theme, so why don't we get it?
Haruka
Well, you seem like the cool and collected type, so the brown one might help us achieve that dark chocolate look I mentioned earlier.
Toya
My skin tone...?
I didn't realize we had to take that into consideration. You really do know quite a lot about this subject.

Haruka
It's designed to make your eyes look more three-dimensional, and a bit of eyeliner should help reinforce that illusion.
Toya
That involves literally drawing right around your eyes and eyelashes, right? I'm really not sure how I'm going to do with that...
Haruka
Gel liners like these are pretty easy to use, so you don't have to worry. There's also a simple trick to getting the lines you want.

Thank you...
I didn't realize just how much concentration putting on makeup requires.

It does involve quite a lot of intricate work.
But you did an amazing job considering it was your first time.

(Not only did she find makeup that goes with Valentine's Day, she made sure they'd look good on Aoyagi...)
