Can You Handle the Heat?

Chapter 5

"Alright guys we are back home ready to have our makeup done by (Y/N)." Josh had set up the camera in front of a chair where all of the boys would sit as I did their makeup. A light was set up to the side so I could have good lighting. I pop my knuckles and twist my neck and do some light stretches.

"Who's first?" I look at all of them.

"Who do you think should go first?" Grant had spoken up to ask. I thought about it for a second before answering with,

"Who can go the longest without touching their face or eating something?" They all looked amongst each other. Eventually the order was settled. Josh would be first, then Narrator, Gaege, Eddie, and last would be Mully. I then pointed to Josh and then the chair.

"Alright, let's get started, first I need to wet this beauty blender then we shall proceed." I walk into the kitchen area and soak the beauty blender squeezing it multiple times until I was convinced it had expanded as much as it was going to. I walk back in and take the rubber band out of my hair that I had put in earlier. My hair fell out of the bun I had previously had it in. I walk over to Josh and scoop his hair into a high little ponytail to get it out of the way.

"It's time to beautify you." I took the foundation that matched him out and began applying it to his face. I continued with the process applying concealer, contour, blush. I finish out his skin by applying the translucent powder. I grab the eyeshadow palette and secretly apply color to his eyes. Making sure that the camera can't see.

"At the end of the video, the full face of makeup will be revealed, and you can vote on who the prettiest is." I turn my head to look at the camera while I say this. Josh's eyes were easy to work on with not only eyeshadow but also eyeliner. He somehow managed to have it applied without blinking too much. At the end of his time, I applied mascara and some pinkish lipstick. Josh left the chair and next to come was Grant.

"Are you ready Narrator?" I asked him.

"I'm always ready to look gorgeous." He said back with full confidence. I repeat the same process for him. As he got up to leave, I called out,

"JUICYYYYY! IT'S NOW YOUR TIME!" Gaege soon came in practically shuffling in. He sat in the chair and looked up at me.

"Your eyes are hooded, Juice, I'm going to have to put more effort into making your eyeshadow stand out, but have no fear, fair soon to be maiden." He giggles and makes his voice higher as he says,

"Why thank you kind, uh, also maiden." You grab his hair to put it up in a ponytail as well. This is going to be interesting.

"With your eye color I could really do any eyeshadow shade." I started mumbling to myself. I started applying the foundation. I hadn't really noticed it, but I was rougher with the rest of their faces, however with Gaege, I could feel how gently I was blending out the foundation and other layers of his base of makeup. I lift his face up so that I can look at his eyes easier.

"I think that I'll use this color for you." I show him the color and then ask, "Is that okay?" Why was I asking if it was okay. That makes no sense. Gaege's eyes looked down at the color. He shows a devious little smile and says no. To which I snap out of the train of thought.

"Well, that's too bad Juicebox, it's what you're gonna get." I say rolling my eyes at his outburst. I started applying the color to his eyes. I took a little longer on his, making sure that it was just how it needed to be. Eventually I got it done. He rose from the chair and walked out, letting Eddie in next. As Eddie started berating me for taking so long. I apologized and started with his.

Eventually I finish all of their makeup. I heard snickering behind me and noticed a distinct lack of Juicy in front of me. It was then that I felt a wet wipe swipe across my face. I continued to rub. I turned around to him and looked up angry that my face of makeup was ruined. I take the wipe from him and wipe the rest off.

"Now what?" That's when I was led to the chair, all of them standing in front of me.

"It's your turn to be beautified." Narrator had shouted out. At first, I thought about protesting, but there was no point I saw Eddie grab the foundation that I had used on Gaege. I sat still and let them do their best on putting on my makeup. Near the end I felt a hand on my chin. I look up and see Gaege holding the eyeshadow.

"They all agreed that I, the only one who has at least recently put on eyeliner, should be the one doing anything near your eyes. Now, what color should we do for you. I think that we should match your eye color, what do you think?" Once again, the question flies between the two of you where it hadn't between anyone else. Feeling coy I reply with,

"Hmmm, I think not." Gaege smiles down at me and rolls his eyes.

"Well, that's just too bad, isn't it?" He smiled down at me as he gently applied the eyeshadow. He used the same gentleness that I had on him earlier. He finishes by applying eyeliner and mascara. I open my eyes and look up at him. Before awkward eye contact has ensued, I stand up and walk towards where the rest of the boys are standing.

"It's time to judge not only your work, but our work as well." Eddie says as they all line up. I walk to the end of the line and open my eyes. I look down the line at each of them. Josh had blue eyeshadow adorning his face. Grant had a blend from purple to pink. Gaege had black on the outer edges of his eyes that faded into green. Eddie had yellow on the inside of his eyes and orange on the outside. Finally, Mully had red that faded into a soft pink. I was quite proud of myself. They all looked pretty good. I smile at the camera. Not too long after the video ends, I walk to the bathroom. In all honesty, they hadn't done you too dirty. Sure, it could use a significant amount of blending. It isn't until I start blending out my foundation that I notice your eyeshadow.

Gaege had done so well on it. It was shocking to say the least. It went perfectly with my eyes, and he had made a nice ombre from light to dark. It looked great and is kind of how I already do my eyeshadow. I walked out of the bathroom to him and began asking where he learned to do eyeshadow that well.

"A magician never reveals their secret." He said as he speed walks away from me. I rolled my eyes and called out to him,

"Hey, Gaege, you did a good job." He stops for a second and turns around to look at me. He opens his mouth to say something but stops himself.

"Thanks, (Y/N)." He turns back around and continues walking back over to everyone else, joining in on the conversation.
