A girl with heavy makeup, as if she had stepped out of an old painting. Her eyes, with thick black eyeliner and deep smoky shadow, were like two windows into the night. Her long false eyelashes cast a small shadow on her cheeks every time she blinked. Her deep, matte red lips became the focal point of her entire face; a color that seemed to scream “I am here” even when she was silent. Her face was like a bold work of art: full of determination, full of “I chose myself as I am.”
