Ever since the sale of the "Yingxiao is a Meow" doll outfit, no new customers had reached out to the platform.
Shang Qing wasn't worried. She was quite open-minded about it; she believed that as long as the craftsmanship was genuine, there would always be collectors willing to buy. With the income from the first order and plenty of free time now that things were quiet, she decided to try her hand at becoming a professional face-up artist.
Following the warm, encouraging advice from the tutorials posted by established artists, she purchased a full set of tools. They were all entry-level, and the practice head she bought was the most common model available. She had never considered herself a genius; she felt it was safer to practice and see if she was truly suited for this path. If she discovered she had a genuine talent, she wouldn't dream of using low-quality materials for client work—she would buy the finest matte sprays, pastels, and paints then.
