Angelo could indeed be considered a quite handsome young man, although at first, others might not agree with his self-assessment. But when he shaved off his full beard, revealing his small and somewhat sunny face, everyone knew his boast wasn't without reason.
When the beard was shaved off, it really shocked Leonardo and the others. Who could imagine that under that big beard was such a doll-like face that made people burst into laughter? He always claimed to be 25 years old, but if you only looked at his face, guessing he was 18 wouldn't be surprising. No wonder he kept such a long beard. How many men would want to be mistaken for children?
Roy had worked with Xiao Ye many times and knew that his makeup skills were superb, but what was most impressive was his ability to achieve results in a very short time that other makeup artists might take several hours to achieve.
Some TV and film productions often reported that certain actors had to spend four or five hours in makeup every day, and that was true because makeup was not something that could be done by simply putting on a headpiece.
Take monster makeup, for example. Prosthetics were needed, and wouldn't it take time to apply them to the face? The prosthetics themselves had no color and needed to be colored to match the surrounding skin, which also took time, right? In addition, wigs, hands, and feet, as well as exposed skin outside the clothes, also needed makeup, which also took time, right?
If faced with more complicated makeup, it really couldn't be done in just a few hours.
What made Xiao Ye so amazing was that his hand speed was particularly fast. Roy had seen him only take half an hour to complete a makeup that other makeup artists would take hours to complete!
At that time, he just felt that his hands were very skilled, and his makeup skills were also very good. But if he thought about what happened today, Xiao Ye's ability to do makeup so quickly had a reason.
It had to be said that Roy was enlightened.
The work Xiao Ye used to do was very dangerous, and his makeup or disguise skills were very helpful in his work. Many times, he needed to change his appearance in a very short time to escape from certain people's pursuits.
As a result, he had to train his hand speed, and it was impossible for him to carefully depict the makeup like a real makeup artist to achieve the best effect.
Today's time was very ample, and Xiao Ye used forty minutes to "transform" Angelo.
"What kind of hands do you have?" Seeing his results, Leonardo, after his initial shock, grabbed his hand and examined it carefully. One hand, five fingers, everything that others had, he had too. How could he be so amazing?
And there were no calluses as he had expected. Instead, his fingers were like those of a pianist, long and fair. He could qualify as a hand model for advertisements.
But being handsome and having such skills were completely unrelated. No one had ever said that having beautiful hands meant having skillful hands.
His surprise was not without reason. At this moment, Angelo was exactly as he had requested earlier, transformed into another type of handsome guy. If his previous handsome appearance was more like a youthful delicacy, a bit like a sunny youth, then his current handsomeness was more masculine, exuding a mature man's hormones.
Leonardo didn't know how to express his inner shock. He only knew that the man in front of him, with his magical hands, had transformed a doll-like face into a cool and muscular man. And this transformation took only forty minutes!
If everyone had his skill, why would they need plastic surgery? Everyone could make themselves look like whatever they wanted!
Roy was not the first time he had seen him work, and every time he was shocked by his abilities. Take Angelo, for example. He saw Xiao Ye use some prosthetic-like things, but they felt more fitting to the skin and had more texture, not like regular special effects makeup that would make the face stiff and look very unrealistic after applying prosthetics.
"Alright, stop marveling. Leonardo, it's your turn next. We need to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being found by those people." Despite the admiration, Roy still had to think about the safety of himself and the others. Xiao Ye's arrival seemed to have saved them, but who knew if there would be any other accidents? He couldn't let his guard down until they were home!
"Me next! Me next!" Leonardo had been impatiently sitting in the seat where Angelo had just been sitting, and he eagerly proposed, "How about transforming me into a woman's appearance?" He had played young and old, and he wanted to try something new and see if this magical makeup artist could work his magic again.
After he said this, Xiao Ye didn't object, but Roy's face darkened first. "How tall are you? Do you want to stand out and attract more attention by dressing up as a woman?"
His words made sense. Being so tall and dressing up as a woman would indeed make him stand out. Leonardo regretted a bit, "Alright, then just make me a look that no one can recognize."
Xiao Ye chuckled, "Leave it to me."
He took out a handful of tools from the makeup box, kneaded them for a while, and then applied them to Leonardo's face again.
Because he just needed to be unrecognizable, his actions this time were faster, and it took less than twenty minutes to finish.
Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, Leonardo couldn't help but sigh, "If one day I woke up from a dream and saw myself like this, I would definitely think I had become someone else."
If Laila were here, she would have a more appropriate explanation—transmigration and rebirth.
In essence, he was himself, but his appearance had changed into someone else's. What else could this be if not the drama of transmigration and rebirth?
After another half an hour, Roy's makeup was also done.
With Xiao Ye's help, the three of them changed into a set of traveler's clothes, each carrying a large bag, looking dusty and worn out, as if they had been in the wilderness for a long time.
Such travelers were not uncommon, and with the exception of Angelo becoming a macho handsome guy, Roy and Leonardo both had ordinary faces that would be hard to find in a crowd.
"The plane takes off at 7:40 in the evening. Before that, you should stay here and not go out casually." After everything was ready, Xiao Ye reminded them.
At this time, the friend who had helped Roy and the others before appeared again, holding three passports, with photos of the three of them as they looked now.
Roy took the passport, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Why did this passport look the same as the previous one? Is it okay to get a fake passport so quickly?
