-Shay's pov-

"Hey Denice can you help me?" I asked as I pulled out the small amount of makeup and brushes from my night table drawer. I placed them on my bed and glanced over at her since she was sprawled out across her bed writing in her journal a big smile on her face when she looked over. I couldn't help but smile it was nice to see her happy it's been a long time since I have seen her this happy. I looked down at my pathetic excuse of make up I was not one to wear make up, I barely could tell highlight from bronzer or foundation and eye shadow colours I have no idea which colour matches me. And don't get me started on brushes to me they all look the same to Denice they are all completely different and are used for specific things. It's not like I don't like make up I just never really took the time to learn all that stuff not like Denice she was the best at it and quick too unless she really wants to impress then she can take forever. My thoughts got interrupted by Denice closing her night table drawer. "What do you need help with sis?" She had asked me. "Tobi is setting up a nice little dinner in the secret library for me and him because it's for our anniversary of when we started dating and I wanna look nice for him for once," I explained. She smiled at me and gave me a big hug brushing the hair away from my face. "Shaylyn, your one of the most beautiful girls I know I mean we are twins after all," she cheekily said. "Besides your getting so much better with your make up then when you first started. Come here come sit on my bed, oh and bring your foundation and that's it we will use my make up this time and later on sometime we can practice using yours once we buy you good make up and brushes because come on I don't even think I can call that make up," she added. Denice giggled as she glanced over at the single tube of mascara, the one pallet of eyeshadow, the single brush and one cheap brand of lipstick that was on my bed. "Hey I am sorry for my lack of make up and skills," I replied. She started applying products to my face while we spoke here and there, I was thinking Ray was with Jake and I did ask Denice about her opinion on they're relationship but she didn't want to say anything other than she's happy for them. "Sorry sis but you were busy when I got back from my hunt earlier you looked so happy writing in your journal I didn't want to bug you but come on, tonight is special for me. I wanted to look more than decent," I explained to her. "Okay now, lets do something about these caterpillars above your eyes first?" She teased making me laugh. Denice motioned for me to lay down with my head in her lap as she reached to reach for her tweezers. " Im only going to clean them up, but no offence sis but you suck at taking care of your eyebrows." She told me when she started tweezing away. Denice laughed and got to work cleaning up my thick eyebrows, the room mostly quiet with only my voice once and a while complaining how badly they hurt. She would playfully smack me each time and tell me not to move once she finished that she grabbed my foundation and started to apply some in dots all over my face before grabbing the beauty blender and blending the foundation on my face. Once that was finished she grabbed a brush that was wider as she put a little highlight on tapping on the brush to knock off extra powder and then she placed that brush down and picked up a smaller one. She got me to close my eyes I could here her hum before asking me to show her what outfit I was wearing I opened my eyes and walked over to my closet and grabbed a black sleeveless halter top dress with a belt in the middle of it, it also had an opening above the belly button to expose some skin. It was tight against my body to show off my small curves. I walked over to Denice and she smiled. "Oh! That's sexy," she compliments me. I laughed and placed it on my bed Denice looking at her eye shadow pallet as I sat down across from her. "I think a nude eyeshadow will do." Than she started to apply my eyeshadow then grabbed a bottle labeled setting spray and sprayed a couple spritz on my face.

"Alright I think we are done well except lipstick here you can use this one," She passed me a lipstick and I opened it to revel a bright red colour I scrunched my nose and looked at her. "Red? Really Denice?"
