┌── •✧• ──┐
The luxurious penthouse was alive with excitement as the sun began its descent, casting a golden hue across the city skyline.
Alara stood in the center of her expansive bedroom, an array of beauty products and designer outfits scattered around her.
Tonight was the grand opening of Luxe House, and she was determined to make a statement.
Her makeup artist, a talented artist named Sophie, arrived with a suitcase full of cosmetics. “Ready to get glam, Alara?” she asked, setting up her station.
“Absolutely! I want to turn heads tonight,” Alara replied, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.
As Sophie worked her magic, applying a flawless base that emphasized Alara's striking features, her hair designer, Marco, entered the room.
“What’s the plan for your hair, gorgeous?” he asked, looking at Alara's natural curls cascading around her shoulders.
“I want to keep it natural but with some extra volume and definition,” she said, smiling. “Let my curls shine!”
With a nod, Marco began to enhance Alara’s curls, using a curling iron to define each lock while adding a touch of shine to her hair.
“You’re going to look incredible,” he said, spinning her chair to reveal the glamorous transformation.
After an hour of meticulous work, Alara stood in front of the full-length mirror, her heart racing with anticipation.
Her makeup was bold yet sophisticated, accentuating her emerald eyes and perfectly sculpted cheekbones.
“I feel like a queen!” she exclaimed, admiring the overall effect.
Just then, Ava, her AI assistant, chimed in. “Alara, you have two hours until the event starts. Let’s finalize your outfit choice.”
With a quick glance at her closet, Alara reached for the stunning halter neck mini dress adorned with shimmering sequins that sparkled like stars.
The draped scarf sleeves added a touch of elegance, making the dress hug her curves perfectly.
“This one! It’s daring yet elegant,” she declared, slipping into the fabric that felt luxurious against her skin.
