While brushing her teeth in her monotone luxurious bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror. Her pail skin and dark circles are even worse today, making her big blue eyes pop like a zombie’s. Putting makeup on, she covers a good amount of her dark circles and evens the tone of her skin and neck, some mascara and a bit of lipstick to make her seem like she’s trying to look norma...
