Louis shifts in his chair again to make it squeak against the floor, making Lottie cut off her intro for the third time to turn and glare at him. She's been trying to get him to film this video with her for months as it's her most requested challenge, but Louis has been stubbornly putting it off until now.
"Louis, honestly, sit still. This'll take ten minutes, tops, and you get to make me look as stupid as you want," she reasons. Louis finally groans and relaxes, putting on a smile and looking up at the camera that's resting on the tripod in front of them.
"Hey guys, Lottie here! Today I'm here with my brother Louis, you might know him as louist91 if you're into gaming, and we're gonna be doing the brother does my makeup challenge!" She says cheerfully. Louis grins menacingly at the camera, picking up one of Lottie's big fluffy makeup brushes and waving it around.
"Louis, how much experience do you have with makeup?" Lottie asks, voice nervous for the camera. Louis hums like he's pondering the question, tapping the brush against his chin.
"Uh, none," he decides, looking over his selection of Lottie's expensive products while she eyes the camera like she's just now realizing that this is going to be the biggest mistake of her life.
"Right, let's jump right in, then," Louis says, clapping his hands together and scooping up a bottle of concealer. "This must be the, uh, the skin stuff, right?" He holds the bottle up to Lottie's bare cheek, nodding his head once. "Yes, definitely the skin stuff. So I'll just take this cap off and, oh, how do I get it out?"
Lottie's not giving him any tips, keeping her mouth firmly shut, so Louis sighs and grabs her face. She squeaks when Louis tips her head backwards and dumps the concealer onto her forehead, nodding at his work.
"That seems about right. Now I'll just..." He dips his fingers in the puddle on Lottie's forehead and drags them down her cheeks, smoothing out the concealer until it's in one even coat over her entire face. She opens her eyes and rights herself, looking at the camera and shaking her head slowly.
"Was that wrong?" Louis questions, hands covered in makeup.
"Well, not wrong. Just... A different method," Lottie informs, shrugging her shoulders and nodding towards the table where all the makeup is spread out. "Go on."
Louis hums as he surveys his options, picking up a little circular container that pops open. One side of the circle is a pinkish color and the other side is more of a bronze, and Louis perks up.
"Oh! This is blusher and bronzer, yeah?" He says excitedly, gaining confidence when Lottie nods. "See, I'm not so bad," he hums, looking back down at the makeup. "Should I use my fingers again?" He questions, looking back up at Lottie.
"Use a brush," she says quickly, almost pleadingly. Louis makes a little 'o' with his mouth and looks for an appropriate brush, choosing the big one he was playing with earlier.
"I like this one," he decides, swirling it around the browner side of the circle first. He sweeps it over Lottie's cheek gently, gasping when a big smear of bronzer takes over her entire cheek. Lottie's eyes widen and Louis presses his lips together, shaking his head. "No, no, looks fine," he assures, repeating the action on the other side and getting the same result.
"Shit, okay, the blusher will make that better, I think," he says, mostly to himself, wiping the brush clean on Lottie's forearm and going for the blusher instead. Lottie squawks in protest but doesn't say anything, instead shaking her head at the camera and waiting for Louis to carry on.
Louis repeats the same action with the blusher that he did with the bronzer, sweeping it over Lottie's cheek as gently as possible. This time a pretty pink highlights her cheekbone and, it's obviously not professional, but Louis thinks that it doesn't look too bad.
