The Queen of Energy (Finale)

chapter 15: Electra makeup tutorial on Andros Beauty, part 2

Electra landed gracefully in front of Andros Beauty headquarters. She took a deep breath, transforming back into her casual attire before knocking on the elegant, pearl-inlaid door. The door opened to reveal Lima, the show host and Fairy of Seashells, her warm smile radiating a welcoming energy.

"Electra! Welcome to our headquarters!" Lima exclaimed, stepping aside to let her in.

Electra entered, her gaze sweeping across the sleek, turquoise-accented studio. She set her bag down carefully, soaking in the place where she would soon film her segment.

"Is the lighting okay?" Melanie, one of the production crew members, called out, adjusting a few controls.

Electra squinted slightly at the bright overhead lights. "Could you dim it a little? It's a bit harsh."

Melanie made a quick adjustment. "How about now?"

"Perfect, thanks!" Electra replied with a nod.

Lima approached her, curious. "So, what products will you be using for your makeup routine?"

Electra began unpacking her bag, arranging her items methodically.

Lima tilted her head in surprise. "No foundation or concealer? Not even a little?"

Electra shook her head with a confident smile. "Nope. I'm proud of my dark skin. It tells my story and reflects my heritage. I don't feel the need to cover it up."

Lima's eyes lit up. "I love that! Natural beauty is the best beauty."

Just then, Melanie signaled from behind the camera. "Alright, Electra, we're going live in 5...4...3..."

Electra straightened up, took a calming breath, and beamed into the camera. "Hello, Andros! I'm Electra, and welcome to Andros Beauty TV! Today, I'm excited to share my signature makeup routine with you."

She picked up her contour foundation, holding it to the camera. "Now, I'm not big on heavy coverage like foundation or concealer. I believe every Androsian has natural beauty worth celebrating. But I do use contour foundation sparingly to enhance my features. I apply it to my cheekbones and jawline for subtle definition." She demonstrated the process with precision, blending it smoothly with an angled brush.

"For the eyes," Electra continued, lifting her eyeshadow palette, "I love using a shimmery light turquoise shade. It reminds me of home—Energy City, a place where vibrant energy thrives in harmony." She gently applied the turquoise shadow across her eyelids, then reached for a darker blue. "Next, I use this deeper shade to add dimension in the crease, creating a soft V shape. It's subtle but adds just the right amount of flair."

She giggled as she worked, giving the audience tips along the way. "Don't be afraid to experiment. Makeup is about expressing yourself!"

Electra then grabbed her eyelash curler and mascara. "I prefer to keep it simple—no false lashes for me! Just a quick curl and a coat of mascara. The trick is to start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand as you move upward. It makes a world of difference."

To finish her look, she held up a pink lip liner and magenta lip gloss. "For the lips, I start by lining them slightly outside my natural lip line to add a bit of fullness. Then, I lightly fill in the edges before applying this vibrant gloss. It's the perfect pop of color!"

As Electra completed her routine, she turned to the camera with a dazzling smile. "And that's my makeup routine! Remember, beauty shines brightest when it comes from the heart. Embrace your individuality and let your inner light glow!" She ended her segment by blowing a kiss to the audience, turquoise glitter cascading softly as the scene faded.

"And... cut!" Melanie called out, clapping her hands. "Electra, that was amazing!"

Electra let out a sigh of relief, grinning. "Thanks! That was so much fun."

Lima approached her with a hug. "You're a natural. Thanks for sharing your energy with us!"

Electra grabbed her bag and waved. "Thanks for having me! This was such a great experience. See you all soon!"

With that, she teleported back to Energy City, eager to jot down every detail of her exciting day in her journal.
