Annie and her Makeup Struggles

Annie is scared of makeup. She hates applying them herself and she doesn’t want anyone to apply makeup for her. Annie is pretty in her own way but a bit of makeup will surely lighten her face up.

Annie’s fright for makeup started when she was thirteen. She received a mini makeup kit from her Aunt residing in New York. The mini makeup kit had sparkly makeup ranging from very pink blush to bright red lipstick. That day Annie was so proud of herself that she was able to apply makeup all by herself. She didn’t even need to ask any help from her Mom. Annie felt more beautiful than ever. But as soon as she reached her school, all of the kids laughed at her and called her names. It turns out her makeup was so thick and unflattering on her that she looked liked a clown. After that, she never ever tried to learn how to apply makeup at all.

One day, Annie decided to face her fears. She bought inexpensive but subdued hues of makeup and experimented with various looks. She watched a lot of “how-to” makeup videos and read books on makeup application. With everyday practice, Annie finally transformed her face successfully with makeup. She now looked lovely compared to her dull look without makeup.
