Clara had convinced you to buy some new cosmetics from MAC, seeing as you guys had walked by the shop in the plaza. You didn't think you needed any, but you also were listening to everything she said, considering she had way more experience with the whole 'partying' and 'boys' type of stuff. 

You were sitting Indian-style on your rug as she leaned over, blending various black and grey colors on your eyelid. You were 100% sure there was no way this was looking good, until she said 'done', with a pop, coming out of her cherry-red lips as she smiled, looking at the 'work of art' she had created on your eyelid. 

You rolled over and looked in the mirror, surprised at how good it looked. Normally, you went for something simple... but like Clara had said, you were aiming to look sexy as fuck tonight. You began to stand up, but she playfully slapped your arm.

"I'm only done with your eye makeup, silly," she said, pulling you back down. For a second, Clara fumbled around in the black bag that prominently said "M.A.C" on it, before she pulled out a black box. Making quick work of it, she peeled the box away and pulled out a black tube that had 'Russian Red' written on the bottom, as well as a swatch of the vibrant lipstick

"That's.... so.... red," you said, a little unsure of your ability to pull off such a bold and vibrant color. 

"Yes, and?" Clara said, demonstrating the face she wanted you to make as she pulled something else out of her bag. 

"What's this?" I said, as she pulled out yet another tube.

"Too Faced lip injections," she said, winking. She didn't give me time anytime as she untwisted the applicator from the bottle and began putting it on my lips. It burned, badly, however when the whole process was done- red lipstick in place, contour all done up- she showed me the camera on her phone and it was the most gorgeous I've ever looked.

"How about the dress you picked, babes?" Clara said, getting up and walked to my bedroom within my flat. My dress was hanging on the door, to ensure it would be wrinkle-free and exactly the way I wanted it for tonight. If I was going to be seen with my friends, and there would likely be poparazzi, I wanted to look flawless.

My dress was from ASOS, and it was black, semi-strappy, and had a triangle cut out on my mid-abdomen. I was planning on pairing it with black Louboutins, creating a sleek, yet sassy look. 

"Bra? Panties?" she asked, with a smirk. She knew me and Calum had been getting rather close lately, and she knew I wasn't denying it. I walked over to my dresser, which flaunted a Victoria's Secret bag. I had a black lacy bra and matching panties.

"Scandalous," I said, laughing with a wink. 

Clara had to leave for an interview of some sort, exactly I'm not sure, but we hugged and she quickly ran out the door; already late. I was still wearing my Brandy Melville comfort clothes, but my hair was curled and my makeup was perfect so I didn't look like a complete mess. I peeled it off of me and threw on my new dress, checking myself out in the mirror.

Tonight was going to be okay.
