Makeup

Your Bridesmaids all hug you. Some with tears in their eyes. You find yourself a bit moved by the show of emotion.

“First things first,” One of them says, “Makeup!”

A small group of women in black t-shirts and jeans come in. Each one carrying a bag. It takes you a second to realize that these women are professional makeup artists. You are moved to a chair in front of a mirror.

“Hi, I’ll be your make up artist today,” one of the women says to you. “Are you nervous?”

“A little-“ you admit.

“Well just follow my instructions and everything will be perfect. You can just relax and I’ll let you know what I need from you.”

You nod and the woman begins doing her work. The brushes tickle your skin as she begins applying the foundation. The pampering is much appreciated. You can feel layers of makeup being applied. Lipstick touches your lip in a satisfying kiss. She adds on eyelash extenders to make your eyelashes even moee luscious.

You look in the mirror and see staring back at you a beautiful face staring back.

“She’s gorgeous...” you say.

“No, you’re gorgeous,” the woman corrected.
