"Girl you should have heard how worried Ameerah sounds over the phone. She literally screamed when I told her we're not through yet. Infact your makeup is not done yet." Basma laughed hysterical.

"Stop troubling my dear cousin please." Najma spoke with so much gentility because the makeup artist was still working on her face.

"She said we have to go back to the house within half an hour." Basma added.

"We will make it before then insha Allah." Najma declared. "The lips should look nude please, I don't really like lipsticks except for maroon." Najma explained to the makeup artist.

She strictly told her to do just a touch up. A powder, Mascara and a lipstick were the only products she allowed the makeup artist to apply on her face.

"I think Maroon will look great on you ma'am" The makeup artist suggested.

"Basma what do you think? Or should I also go for a pink lipstick like yours?" Najma asked .

"Our skin color is not the same Baby, I think you should go for maroon . It will suit your fair skin. Just allow the makeup artist to complete her job. You've been having issues with almost everything." Basma shook her head .

"Well I want to look like you." Najma whined.

" Just shut up, As it is right now you look much beautiful than I do . I can't wait to see your complete looks! You're really going to steal the show today. If only you agreed to get a full makeup done." Basma squealed with delight.

"Your phone is ringing Najma." Basma declared as she brought out Najma's phone from the clutch bag. "It's your Abbakar."

"Give it here , together with the airpods please." Najma smiled as she collected the phone & put on her airpods.

They exchanged pleasantries with Abbakar and as usual, she proceeded into telling him details about her day.

"So are you done with the makeup now?" He asked.

"Yes, Remaining the last part only" She smiled .

"What part is that?" He asked curiously.

"The headgear part." She replied .

"I can't wait to see the final looks, I know you're going to look so gorgeous." He declared.

This was the first time Abbakar has made such a comment about her looks with so much interest. He has always shy away from expressing himself. Najma understood that a long time ago.

"It's done. I'll call you back later insha Allah I've to go now." She declared looking at herself in the mirror,Okay Najma, enjoy your dinner." He replied hanging up.

"Shinelx makeupover really finished work on you, Queen of all the beautiful ladies! Miss Nigeria, Beauty Goddess, look at you ! Tabarakallah Masha Allah. Indeed Allah is the best of creators. Are you sure Ameerah will allow you to attend her dinner looking like Ten over Ten minus Nothing!" Basma kept on hyping Najma .

Najma looked so gorgeous that she had to praise her looks too. Despite she didn't get a heavy makeup done, Her face looked natural and gorgeous. The maroon lipstick highlighted her face.

She was dressed in a black straight gown and a silver colored headgear. Together with a silver colored clutch bag & silver colored heels. Black looked so perfect on her skin color.

"Ma'am let me snap you please. " The makeup artist declared. "Sure" She smiled as she posed.

After she was done, she got up and went to stand In front of the mirror to have a clearer view of herself.
