The Superfriends AU (part 9)

The flashes were blinding and the large lights heated the room like a sauna. His palms were moist with sweat as he reached up and pulled at his collar. Colin had not been this nervous this morning. And Damian of course, said he had nothing to be nervous about when he had started to feel anxious. But he did. He’d obviously been too tired to properly panic when Violet dropped off the outfit he was currently wearing, this morning.

It had started when he unzipped the black garment bag. The intricate details embroidered on the expensive fabric immediately caught his eye and sent up the most alarming red flags. He’d never worn anything so expensive. Not even the suits Mr. Wayne had gotten tailored to his form for the handful of galas Damian had taken him to, cost as much as his current outfit.

The next anxiety laced arrow to hit him was when Damian had pointed out that Colin and Edna had yet to hold a real conversation. Their interactions with one another had completely ceased after his boyfriend’s introductions were finished.

And then there was Edna’s ability to influence Damian. She was one of the few members of his family he let himself be pushed around by. He willingly did her bidding as well as valued her opinion. And Colin had thought making sure Marinette had a good opinion of him was important, only to find out that Edna’s had more weight.

Now he stood sandwiched between the small woman who essentially invented fashion and one of the richest men in the world. Bruce had pated Colin on the shoulder when he first walked up to the two, a silent reassurance to the obviously panicked boy. The intimidating man now stood straight, shoulders squared with his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes were not on his son, who was currently up on a platform surrounded by fake trees, instead his dark eyes had a strange shadow cast over them, reminding Colin of the man’s alter ego. He was carefully surveying the room, analyzing everyone who fell under his intense gaze.

On Colin’s right stood his boyfriend’s great aunt, her stance near identical to her nephew's. Her eyes were trained on Damian, unlike the boy’s father whose gaze was roaming the room. However, her glare was no less intimidating or fear inducing. Though, Colin couldn’t exactly blame the woman for her current enraged expression.

His eyes went back to his boyfriend, Damian was dressed in a top that resembled a toga, the one strap tank consisting of billowy semi-sheer fabric, tucked into slim dark grey pants, that Edna had whispered to him were a cigarette style. He also wore a well fitted silver blazer, the material of which was lighter than the pants. His face covered in metallic silver and soft brown makeup, he was too far to really see the details the makeup artist had done, but he could see an intricately drawn crescent moon done in silver eyeliner on Damian’s right cheek, as well as the matte midnight blue lipstick.

His hair had been wetted and dried a number of times before it was curled to Edna’s satisfaction. Now every time there was a pause in the camera’s flashes, a tall blonde woman would step up onto the platform and use a spray bottle to dampen Damian’s hair and then restyle it. Every time she tried to touch him though, he would aggressively react both physically and verbally. Colin had picked up on a few older female oriented insults, his boyfriend had a knack for talking like he just time traveled from Victorian London. The darker skinned boy eventually resorted to batting the bottle out of the woman’s grip as well as slapping her hands away.

Beyond the problems he was having with the stylist, Damian was also getting difficult with the photographer. Not necessarily on purpose, but Edna was still less than pleased.

Damian was a very handsome boy, not exactly what one would consider classically handsome, but his features were undeniably attractive. His naturally neutral expression was extremely attractive, and gave off an air of aloofness and mystery that most girls their age found irresistible. But very few people were aware of just how stunning the boy’s smile could be. Not the fake polite one he showed interviewers or those he couldn't be bothered with but had to interact with often enough to the point that forced him to be courteous. His real smile was absolutely breathtaking.

The photographer had been trying to get that breathtaking expression for about ten minutes. Colin could see how the man was grating on his boyfriend's nerves. Edna and the photographer were becoming increasingly frustrated as well, which was totally understandable in the redhead's mind. But he was sure that if either of them snapped at Damian the boy would storm out in a frustrated huff.

Poor Angel, he really was trying. He just had difficulty relaxing to the point where his natural smile could be displayed. He carried far too much tension around for sixteen year old, even with all his extracurriculars.

Colin watched the blonde woman fight against Damian once again, his bangs had fallen into his eyes and she needed to correct them. His boyfriend’s palm raised, slapping the purple spray bottle out of her hand, it bounced off the platform and rolled towards Colin, Edna, and Mr. Wayne.

It caused Bruce to let a low chuckle break from his lips, which took Colin far too much by surprise. He’d actually forgotten that his boyfriend’s father had been standing there. The wealthy man looked down at his Aunt’s unamused expression. “I did warn you about working with him.”

“Yes.” She grumbled. “Forgive me for having faith that a sixteen year old could stand not to act like a child for thirty minutes or so.” Her arms crossed tightly over her body. “Honestly, why are your boys always so difficult?”

“They aren’t difficult,” Bruce defended. “Just...different.”

Edna rolled her eyes at the man.

“Different, sure.” She huffed. “Luckily, I planned for Damian’s ‘differentness’ and have a solution at the ready.”

Bruce cocked his eyebrow, giving his aunt a questioning look. She smiled up at him before her gaze lowered to Colin, the boy’s face coated in just as much confusion as Bruce’s. “Colin dahling.” The woman walked forwards several steps, leaning down and picking up the purple bottle. “Come here please.” She motioned at him with a curl of her fingers and he was quick to follow her, doing as told like a little soldier.

“Yes ms-” He stopped himself. “Edna.” He finally said.

She smiled, patting his hand. “Colin could you be a dear and go help Damian with his hair?” The ginger tilted his head, looking back at the blonde woman as she stomped off the platform. Another series of flashes fired, as Damian positioned himself in whatever way the photographer told him to.

“His hair?” Colin asked. “I think it looks fine.” Truthfully he did. He wished Damian would wear it curly more often, but knew how unprofessional his boyfriend felt when he did.

“Could you just go push his bangs back and use the spray bottle to help his hair curl a little more. Please dahling, it would be a big help.” Edna held the bottle out to Colin.

“Um…” Colin looked back at Damian as another flash went off. “I guess?” He questioned. “Right now?”

His hands slowly took the purple bottle. “No no, in just a moment, when I walk over to look at the shots we have so far.”

“Yes ma’am.” Colin turned from the woman, facing Damian’s platform. His perplexed look melting away and being replaced with a smile as he saw Damian push his own bangs back, only for them to fall back into his eyes without the assistance of his ever precious hair gel.

He only had to wait a moment before Edna patted him on the shoulder before swaggering over to the photographer. Colin was quick to hop up onto the platform and over to his boyfriend, who looked less than pleased. His face was set in a scowl and his arms were tightly crossed. The closer Colin got though the more of the makeup he could make out. Damian’s eyes were traced in metallic off white eyeliner, the shade only varying slightly from the moon drawn on his cheek, and a range of soft browns were used for his eyeshadow. The color pellet suited him extremely well.

“You know,” He began, getting Damian’s attention. “You’re making this way more difficult than it has to be.”

Damian didn’t respond, he just rolled his eyes, directing his gaze elsewhere.

“It’d all go a lot quicker if you cooperated. It’d also be less painful too.” Once Colin was properly in front of his boyfriend he took note of the glitter highlighting his cheekbones, as well as a chain earrings that had been hooked onto his right ear, and a thick silver choker that resembled something out of the greek myths themselves around Damian’s neck.

Damian gave Colin a rather dry unamused look. “If that woman would stop touching me, everyone would be in less pain.”

“Dames,” Colin breathed. “She’s a stylist, it’s literally her job to touch you.” He rested his free hand on his hip. “She is getting paid to come up here and make sure that you continually look perfect throughout this shoot.”

The boy only huffed turning his head away once again.

“Your aunt is getting a little frustrated with you as well.” Colin’s gaze drifted across the room towards the woman. She was sitting in front of a computer with the tall balding photographer, neither seemed happy with the shots they had so far. Edna’s eyes slowly traveled up, locking onto Colin’s. It nearly gave him a heart attack.

He turned his attention back to his boyfriend. “I’m gonna spray you with this,” He held up the bottle. “And mess with your hair.” Damian’s eyebrow quirked up. “If you slap my hand, I will punch you in the face.”

Damian’s shoulders visibly tensed when the mist fell over him, but he relaxed once Colin moved to brush his bangs back. While a little less tense, the boy still stood incredibly still, almost like a statue. Colin’s hands moved quickly, doing his best to mimic how the first hair stylist had shaped Damian’s hair before the shoot had started. It didn’t look perfect but it looked better than it did when his bangs were hanging in his face. In fact, once Colin was done it started looking more messy, resembling the boy’s rare bedhead after a sleepless night. But it looked good, at least in Colin’s opinion.

He couldn’t stop his laugh.

“What?”

“Nothing.” He snickered, running his fingers through Damian’s curls, repositioning them. “You should really consider wearing it curly more often.” He whispered.

“Absolutely not.” Damian was quick to refuse, but couldn’t stop the corner of his lips from quirking up. “Why are you up here anyway?” He asked.

Colin smirked as he continued his work. “Board of me already babe?”

Damian rolled his eyes, gaze dropped to the ground as he willed his blush to fade. He wasn’t great with nicknames, not when Colin used them. Shortenings of his name was fine, but it always got to him when more traditional pet names were used by his boyfriend. “No.” He muttered. “Just curious, after all Edna was rather clear about you and Jon not interfering while I work.”

“Your aunt asked me to come fix your hair.” Colin shrugged. “Probably because she knew you wouldn’t be near as cranky with me.”

“I am not being cranky.” The boy bit back, earning an unamused look from his freckled boyfriend.

“Dames.”

“I don’t like people touching me Colin, she knew this when she asked me to be her model.” Colin rolled his eyes, hands moving out of his boyfriend’s hair.

“Yeah, but you're also very mature for your age and should be able to suck it up for thirty minutes or so.” Colin crossed his arms. “Seriously Dames, this isn’t like a crowd of Wayne Ward Fangirls trying to grope you on the street. That woman is trying to do her job and by you being cranky, it’s making everything run very inefficient.”

“Are you implying I’m a bad model?”

“Course not.” The redhead sighed. “I’m implying that you’re acting like a child and it’s not cute.” He gave a small smile. “But other than your attitude, you’re doing a very good job.” Colin leaned forward and peck Damian’s cheek, the one not coated in eyeliner. “Just smile a little more.”

Colin turned, hopping off the platform, and turning back to watch once he was far enough to not be in the shot. He flashed the mixed race boy a blinding smile once he was out of the way and gave him a thumbs up. Damian returned the gesture with a soft smile, not noticing the flashes of the camera as he watched his boyfriend who, after a few minutes, started to make utterly ridiculous faces.

Edna and Bruce watched from their previous spot. Positions the same, backs straight, shoulders square, hands clasped behind them. Edna’s face cracked into a self satisfied smirk. Bruce’s eyes watching the scene before him critically.

“So that’s why Colin’s here.” He finally said.

“Fail safes are important dahling.”

“What would you have done if Damian hadn’t brought him along?”

“Please,” Edna looked up at her nephew. “Who do you think gave him the idea to invite the boy?”

…

Marinette watched her cousin and his boyfriend retreat down the hallway, Colin’s arms wound around one of Damian’s. The boy had mentioned in the elevator that he needed to go feed Titus and would be down in the cafeteria once he was finished. Colin quickly volunteered to go with him. Marinette assumed it was because of how moody Damian had gotten towards the end of the photoshoot. She could practically see the negative energy radiating off the boy. Jon and Chloé, who had also been in the elevator went straight to the Mode cafeteria. Marinette and Adrien had gotten off on the floor with all of their rooms like Colin and Damian. Marinette making the excuse that she needed to call her mom and Adrien saying he forgot something in his room.

Once she saw her cousin’s form round the corner of the hall she turned back around to look and see if Adrien had gone into his room yet or not. The door with a large number seven on it was firmly close, the blonde nowhere in sight. She turned back to her own door, took in a large breath to steal her nerves, then turned the knob and walked into the suite.

The room was large with a queen sized bed against a wall of floor to ceiling windows, the sheer black curtains were drawn currently. There was a fireplace in her room on the opposite wall, the one that her door was on. It was an electrical insert and so didn’t require a chimney. There was a flat screen tv above it and two red chairs in front of it. A silver rack was against the mainly empty wall, holding her mass of black garment bags. The west wall was mainly taken up by a large dresser vanity combo, which her accessory trunk was currently in front of.

Her room had been mostly left undisturbed since she first arrived, save for the bed, which she had messily made that morning. Mostly everything in the room was well organized, especially her garments and accessories to make things a little less stressful for her during the hectic week.

The large white comforter of her bed was wrinkled and had been pulled towards the center of the mattress, creating something that resembled a nest. In front of the mass of blankets, propped up on a couple of pillows was her tablet. Her nerves were on fire, but she still managed a smile when the head of her kawami popped up from behind the piece of technology. The small creature was quick to pause whatever video she had been watching, most likely a telenovela she had found on one of the streaming services Marinette’s family subscribed too. The girl had discovered relatively soon after becoming the wielder of the ladybug miraculous that the creature had a bit of an addiction to the television genre.

“Marinette!” Tikki beamed, flying up to her holder. “How is the photoshoot going?”

“Well…” Her smile tightened. “Well.” She reiterated. “I think it’s going well. Aunt E is unbelievably specific.” Marinette’s hands clutched the fabric of her sweatpants before releasing it, she repeated this process a few times. “She made some intern repaint a handful of leaves on a fake tree because it wasn't mossy enough. She also made a girl cry this morning, sooo we’ve been off to an interesting start.”

“Did you have to take your earrings off?” The tiny god asked, eyes large, searching her wielder’s face. She didn’t sound angry, necessarily, but Marinette knew she would be if she lied.

The bluenette bit down on her lower lip, gaze fluttering down to the floor. “Yes.” She said, voice laced with a heavy sigh. “But only for thirty minutes or so.”

“Marinette...” The kawami sighed.

“Edna was insistent I wear her earrings!” The girl quickly defended. “I tried Tikki, I really did but she was so-so...insistent.”

The small god stared at her obviously anxious choice. “That was very dangerous Marinette.” Her voice was still very gentle in nature.

“I know.” Marinette kept her eyes on her feet. “And I’m sorry, really sorry.”

Tikki was quiet for a long moment before letting out a large breath, flying a little closer to the girl. “You’ll have to have them off again for the rest of the shoot, won’t you?”

“Again, I am so sorry.”

“Marinette, having the earrings off is very dangerous.” Tikki reiterated. “Don’t you remember what happened last time?”

“Of course I do.” Marinette scrunched her hands into her sweatpants again. “But I did think up a plan!” She added quickly. “Since I have to take them off again, I’m going to hide them here in my room. That way you can watch over them and they aren’t floating around in a room full of strangers.”

Tikki floated back down onto the bed. “I suppose that would be the best option. Do you know where you’ll hi-” A very solid knock came from her door, just two taps, but Marinette already knew who would be behind it. She walked to the door, then turned about to tell Tikki she wouldn’t need to hide, but the god had already vanished.

She opened the door, revealing one Adrien Agreste, a sheepish smile on his face. “Is yours half as mad as mine?” He asked as Marinette stepped aside, letting him into the room before shutting the door behind him.

“I’d say more disappointed, but I haven’t told her everything yet.”

Adrien winced at her words. “I can come back later once you have.” He offered, to which Marinette gave him a look.

“Definitely not.”

“Damn.”

“What happened to pretending it didn’t happen?” Suddenly Tikki was floating in the middle of the room again. “Acting like you didn’t know?! Not discussing it directly!?” The Kawami huffed. “Marinette there are only so many loopholes we can go through before you blatantly just break the rules!”

“I’m sorry!” Marinette whined. “But I didn’t know what to do!” She took several steps forward. “Edna made me take off my earrings and I had to give them to someone! I couldn’t just set them down somewhere and risk them getting stolen or falling on the floor or something! And yes, Edna offered to hold them or suggested I let Uncle Bruce do it but, full disclosure I don’t know if I trust either of them with a miraculous. Like Uncle Bruce is very curious and I just couldn’t risk it!” Both Adrien and Tikki were becoming mildly concerned with how red the girl was getting, her speech increasing in speed with every shade her face deepened in color. “And Edna well I just don’t think I could ever in good conscience hand the earrings over to her! I mean yes she knows but she doesn’t understand. And in the moment, I mean you have to agree that under those circumstances Adrien was the best option since we weren’t taking photos together. But we’ll have to after lunch so I told him I had a plan and so I’m going to hide our mirac-”

“PIGTAILS!” Marinette physically jumped back, colliding with the dresser. A small black cat like creature floating before her. “Take a breath girl.” He said. “Seriously, you’re going to pass out.” The creature turned his head towards Tikki. “Does she do this a lot?”

“It’s not a common occurrence, but it isn’t necessarily uncommon.” The red god replied.

“Good grief.” The black creature mumbled. “Look Pigtails, we aren’t mad. Under the circumstances, you did the best you could. Sometimes unpredictable stuff like this happens. I’m honestly surprised the kid’s pops hasn’t made him take the ring off during a photoshoot yet.”

“Marinette,” Adrien finally spoke. “You remember Plagg, right?”

The girl’s eyes were still wide, her heart rate still slowing form the shock that had just pulsed through her body. “Y-yeah. I remember him.”

“The two of you being aware of one another’s identities and interacting with each others miraculouses as civilians, it complicates things and if the past is anything to go by, makes things exceedingly more difficult. It’s why we find it better to keep personal things a secret. But I’m sure the guardian's already talked you through all of this stuff.”

Marinette nodded her head, taking a step forward.

“But,” Plagg let a breath out. “This is where we are now. And what’s most important is that the miraculouses are safe while the two of you can’t wear them. So, where’s this genius hiding spot of yours?”

“I-I’ll get it.” She mumbled, quickly darting across the room to where her portable sewing kit was.

Adrien and Tikki both kept their eyes locked on Plagg.

“That was surprisingly very insightful Plagg.” Tikki said, flying up to her partner.

“I can be smart!” He retorted. “I understand the importance of our miraculouses! I don’t just think about Cheese.”

“You just mainly think about it.” Adrien responded, pulling the tin of camembert out of his pocket and setting it down on the dresser.

“Well yeah.”

“Okay.” The three’s attention was directed towards Marinette as she sat down on the end of her bed, setting her now open sewing kit in her lap. Held tightly in her hands was a handmade Chat Noir doll.

“What is that?” Plagg asked.

“This,” Marinette held it up. “Is what I’m going to hide the miraculouses in.” She smiled, grabbing the small scissors out of her portable kit she flipped the doll on it’s side, looking for the seam before moving to cut it open.

“I-” Adrien’s head tilted. “I’m so confus-is that the doll Manon stole when she got akumatized?”

Marinette looked up at him, the doll’s side already open. “Yeah.” She blinked before digger her fingers into the doll to pull out some of the stuffing. “I didn’t really know what to do with them afterwards. I couldn’t just throw them away, so I put them all in a trunk. I let her play with them whenever I babysit. Well, Ladybug and Chat Noir don’t live in the trunk. They’re usually either on my desk or the shelf above my bed.”

Plagg had flown over and was now hovering above Marinette’s shoulder, Tikki sitting on her other one. “You’re going to put them inside of it?” The small black creature asked.

“Yup.”

“I have never seen either of those dolls in your room.” Adrien said, sitting down on the arm of one of the red chairs.

“That’s because I hide them when you come over.” She glanced up at him. “Last thing I needed was a nosy kitty teasing me about my dolls.”

“I am not nosy.”

“Adrien whenever Chat Noir is in my room about seventy-five percent of what he does is rummaged through my things.” She shot him a pointed look.

“I’m curious.”

“Your nosy.” The girl set the doll down in her lap on top of her sewing kit, she then reached up and carefully pulled out her earrings. She let out a sigh, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders as she slipped the jewelry inside the doll.

She then looked up at Adrien expectantly.

He stared at her for a long moment with blank eyes, blinking rapidly before finally asking. “Why’d you bring the Chat doll with you?”

Marinette’s cheeks tinted pink as she looked back down at the doll, she put some of the stuffing back in, that way the two miraculouses would be seperated. “I have my reasons.” She whispered.

“Sometimes when she’s trying to think things out she’ll talk to it.” Tikki supplied from Marinette’s shoulder. “The whole identity thing has been on her mind a lot lately so she’s been talking to him quite a bit.”

Marinette’s face grew more red as Plagg laughed. “That’s hilarious!” The creature cackled. “This one just confesses his undying love to the poster he has on the backside of his closet door.”

“Okay!” Adrien stood quickly, slipping his ring off his finger and placing it in Marinette’s waiting palm. “Let’s just hurry up and go get lunch.” He turned away from her quickly, trying to hide his own blush behind his hand.

Marinette silently slipped it into the doll, then replaced the rest of the stuffing. She was quick to thread a needle with some black thread then set to work repairing the doll.

Both Kawami’s watched the girl closely. “This is actually a pretty sound idea pigtails.” Plagg muttered. “Unless of course someone obsessed with dolls get akumatized. But Hawkmoth should be out of range so, we should be fine.”

Marinette hummed in agreement as she finished her stitch. “Good as new.” She whispered, twisting to set the doll in the middle of the small nest Tikki had made.

“Should we be worried that there aren’t any heroes in Paris right now?” The god of creation asked, unknowingly inciting panic in her chosen.

“Oh my god.” Marinette’s eyes widened.

“I didn’t have a lot of time before I left,” Adrien turned. “But I was able to get a message to Master Fu with Plagg’s help. So he knows we’re both gone.” Adrien stuck his hands into his pockets.

“If there’s trouble, then he’ll probably just call on one of the random holders you’ve been using every now and again.” Plagg added. “But I doubt Hawkmoth will try anything, and if he did, he'd probably call the akuma back once you two didn’t show.”

“That’s true.” Tikki whispered. “Not much use terrorizing Paris when the objects your after aren’t even there. Still though, now that you two are aware of one another’s identities, I implore you to avoid being out of the city at the same time in the future. Just in case.”

“Well it’s not like I planned on leaving.” Adrien said. “I found out like barely an hour before I boarded the plane to come here.”

“Just a tip for the future.” Tikki added.

“Are we watching Yo soy Betty, la fea?” The three looked back at the nest where Plagg had obviously made himself comfortable. “I love that show!” He looked up at Tikki excitedly. “Where are we right now?” He asked.

The Kawami sighed. “He’s staying here then?” She asked, looking between the two humans.

“We figured you’d both want to stay close to your miraculouses.” Marinette explained.

“And we also thought that since you two hadn't seen one another in awhile, you’d want to hang out and catch up.” He smiled sheepishly. “Do you mind?”

Tikki let out a small huff and rolled her eyes at the excited kitten rolling around in her nest. “I suppose not.” She slowly flew down and situated herself next to him. “But no cheese in my nest.”

“Ahh! Tikki! That’s not fair!”

…

It was so strange. Chloé Bourgeois, one of the most difficult and least liked people on the planet, a self given title, had only made two friends throughout her entire life. The first was Adrien, the two had known one another practically since they were in the womb. Literally. Emilie was pregnant on her wedding day, not that anyone save for maybe four people alive knew that, and Chloé was conceived after the reception. They’d always been pushed together, the girl’s mother lobbying hard for a relationship to bloom between the two. But Adrien was her oldest and dearest friend.

Sabrina was her second friend. She’d met her when she was ten. Chloé had made a girl at the park cry. The way Sabrina stared at her, eyes wide, drinking in the scene and raw emotions of anger and sadness radiating off the other two was one of the creepiest things Chloé has ever seen. So of course, she had yelled at Sabrina, she didn’t like the way she was being ogled at. The next day Sabrina had transferred into Chloé’s class. The ginger latched onto her, becoming a constant companion. Until Chloé tried to be better, then Sabrina moved on to Lila.

Yet, in under twenty-four hours Jon Kent had proclaimed himself her new best friend. She’d opened up to him more than anyone else she’d ever known, even her therapist of three years didn’t know as much about Chloé as this random boy from Kansas now did. And everytime she said something bad about herself he would correct her. Everytime she said something bad about someone else, he forced her to list three things she liked about them. She’d never known anyone like him. The strange spell he had over her was so confusing. She honestly had no idea how they had gotten here in such a short period of time. But she didn’t hate it.

She sat across from him at one of the circular tables in the Mode cafeteria, now dressed in her sweats with her hair up in a clip. The metallic makeup still decorating her face. Her lipstick stained the rim of the white mug she sipped her coffee from as she watched the boy across from her animatedly rant.

“Seriously though!” Jon banged his fist against the table, making both of their trays of food shake. He had been ranting about flannel the whole time they’d been in line. At this point, Chloé didn’t think anything was going to get him to stop.

“Plenty of high end designers resent the material, it’s got a stench of the midwest and middle class reeking off of it.” She sat her cup down. “My mother finds it personally offensive. She’d probably disown me if she ever saw me in it.”

Jon stared at her for a long moment, eyes wide and blank before he finally spoke. “I’m going to buy you so much flanel, what’s your favourite colors?”

“Gold, yellow, baby blue, and duke blue.” She crossed her arms. “Please God, don’t buy me anything. Especially flanel.”

“I’m gonna get you a yellow and blue one.” Chloé let out a large groan as the Kansan beamed at her.

“Hey Chlo.” She looked up, making eye contact with one Adrien Agreste. His smile radiating that pure sunshine he was famous for. “Hi Jon.”

“Hey Adrien.” Jon smiled back, sticking a spoonful of chocolate pudding in his mouth.

“Mind if we join you?” Chloé’s eyes immediately flicked behind the blonde where Marinette Dupain-Cheng stood, partially hidden behind the tall model, tray in her hand.

“Course not!” Jon chimed after a thick swallow. “Got a big table because I figured all six of us would want to sit together.” Adrien walked around the table to sit between Chloé and Jon, while Marinette sat between the two on the other side.

Chloé quickly noted the lack of earrings on her person. It was strange seeing her without them, she honestly couldn’t remember the last time she saw the girl’s naked lobes. Her eyes then darted to Adrien’s hand, now resting on the table. No ring.

They must have stashed the jewelry away somewhere safe before coming down. She was more than a little relieved that an anxiety inducing scene like the one this morning would not be repeated. She swore her heart rate quickened every time she saw the two slip their miraculouses into one another’s hands. But the idea of two of the most powerful things on earth being left unguarded somewhere in the Mode building was somewhat unsettling as well. She’d just have to trust in the two’s intuition she supposed. Not much else she could do anyway.

“So, what were the two of you chatting about?” Adrien asked, breaking the silence that had fallen over the table as the four began to eat their meals.

“Oh.” Jon perked up. “I was just talking about how I was gonna buy Chloé a whole bunch of flannels.” He smiled at her cheekily. “Then we can wear them around and match so everyone knows we’re best friends.”

“Definitely not.” Chloé snapped quickly as Adrien began to laugh.

“I think I would honestly give you one of my kidneys if you got this girl into flannel.” The blonde continued to laugh as he began cutting into what looked like chicken.

“It’s not the worst material in the world.” Marinette said, voice somewhat quiet. “It’s just hard to work with when your designing for people willing to pay millions.”

“Exactly what I said!” Chloé shouted.

“You said it smelled like the midwest and middle class.” Jon corrected.

“Yeah,” Chloé crosses her arms. “It’s the smell that makes it difficult to sell to millionaires.”

“I don’t even want to think of what my father would do if he saw me in flannel.” Adrien added before taking a bite of his food.

“Geez, what is with y’all’s parents?” Jon asked. “My dad wouldn’t have the slightest problem with me wearing flannel.”

“Does your dad regularly wear flannel though Jon?” Chloé asked.

“Well yeah,” the boy stirred his spoon around what remained in his small bowl of pudding. “But my mom kind of hates the fabric. But she doesn’t get mad at me when I wear it!”

“Ah, but you see young one,” Marinette interjected. “Your parents care about you.”

“My father cares!”

“That you look good.” Chloé snorted. “Seriously Adri, it’s okay that your dad doesn’t love you. In fact, I think I’ve been doing much better since I accepted the fact that my mother can’t stand me.” The table went silent, Chloé preoccupied with her coffee didn’t noticed until she had set her cup back down. “What?” She asked, looking around at the concerned faces surrounding her.

“Chlo…” Adrien reached out for her hand.

“She cares Chloé.” Marinette whispered. “On some level, all parents care about their kids.”

“She’s right.” Jon added. “She may not show it but your mother loves you Chloé.”

The blonde rolled her eyes, pulling her hand away from Adrien’s. “It’s really not that big of a deal anymore. I’ve accepted it and I’ve moved on.” She turned her face away from the group.

“Chloé-” Marinette was interrupted by a tray being slammed down on the table. They all looked up to see Damian who was pulling a chair up and sitting down between Marinette and Jon.

“I hate this.” He said, monotone voice laced with rage.

Colin quietly pulled up a seat, opting to sit between Adrien and Chloé. “Blood pressure dear.” The redhead mentioned, picking up a white mug that fizzed like a soft drink and taking a long sip from it.

“Hate what?” Marinette asked.

“This.” Damian’s eyes squinted, hands extending. “Did Enda tell you what she did?” He asked.

Marinette turned forward, fork poking at the pasta on her tray. “I think we’ve already established that Aunt E shared very little of what was happening during this trip with me.”

“Alexander Galbaki has these fraternal twins in his family.” Damian began to explain, fist clenched around his fork. “I forget their names, it’s like russian or german though. But their our age, a girl and a boy who are never seen not with one another.”

“I’m betting on a twincest situation.” Colin piped up, setting his cup down.

“Does that happen in real life?” Jon asked. “I thought it was just a fanfiction thing?”

Colin shook his head. “We looked up their instagram while Titus ate, they are like all over each other, it’s seriously nauseating.”

“What do these creeps have to do with Edna?” Chloé asked, leaning forward and resting her chin on her fist.

“Edna decided to have Marinette and I be her models for this after she found out that Galbaki is releasing a collection the same night as her runway!” Damian threw his hands out in front of him, his face clearly expressing that they should all be understanding his frustration.

“And the twins are headlining it?” Adrien finally asked.

“YES!” he screamed.

“Oh.” Marinette nodded. “She wants us to compete with them.” She nodded a little faster. “That makes sense.” She twirled some pasta on to her fork. “Why is this pissing you off?”

“She could have told us!” he stabbed his fork into his salad. “Seriously! If I had known I had a target on this trip I would have researched in advance.” He grumbled as he shoved his fork into his mouth.

“Vanya and Demitri.” Colin sounded, Damian’s phone in his hand. “See it’s gross,” He showed the phone to Chloé, the screen displaying two very pale teenagers with platinum blonde hair. The girl was in a very skimpy white bikini her long hair straightened and reaching her butt, black headband holding back her bangs and a pair of high end sunglasses covering her eyes. She was seated on the lap of another very pale teenager in a pair of black swim trunks. His almost white hair swept back, sunglasses covering his eyes as well. One of his hands was weaved around the girl’s waist, the other resting on her thigh.

“Okay ew.” Chloé mumbled as Colin shifted to show Adrien the picture.

“I mean,” The blonde scratched at his head. “Yeah, that doesn’t look great but it’s just one picture-”

“They are all over each other in pretty much every post.” Colin interjected. “It’s gross.”

“So stop looking at it.” Marinette stated matter-of-factly. “No one is making you insta stalk them.”

“We need to do research!” Damian growled. “I need to be ready to take them down at a moments notice.”

“Dames is just pissy because Demitri is taller than him.” Colin said with a roll of his eyes.

“He is a freakishly tall human being!”

Colin leaned over to Chloé. “He used to be like way short when he was little, even though he’s shot up like a weed he’s still got short man syndrome.” He whispered, the girl quickly covered her mouth to stifle her giggle.

“Speaking of insta stalking.” Chloé said through her breathy laugh. “Have we gotten any more updates on the drama back home?” She asked, question pointed towards Adrien. “Last I heard Lila was telling everyone she was Damian’s secret girlfriend?”

“Has she upgraded form unrequited love to secret girlfriend?” Marinette asked, eyebrow cocked as she leaned forward on her elbow.

“Something like that.” Adrien breathed tiredly. “According to Nino the girls have been asking none stop questions and the story just keep growing.”

“Growing how?” Colin asked, eyes narrowing.

“Well, for one she’s been referring to him exclusively as Dami-Bear.”

“Wow.” Damian stabbed at his salad again. “I hate that.” he shoved it into his mouth.

“And she also told a very long and dramatized story about the two of you in Grease last summer.” Adrien glanced to Colin and then Damian before his eyes landed on his tray of food. “Nino didn’t repeat verbatim, but it apparently wasn’t really family friendly.”

“Oh I’m gonna break her nose.” Chloé jumped when Colin’s fork snapped in half.

“Blood pressure darling.” Damian quipped, receiving only the dirtiest of looks from his boyfriend.

“It could be worse.” Jon held up his hand, like he was trying to calm Colin from across the table. “She could be posting this stuff online or something, at least it’s contained to their class, right?”

“I don't know.” Marinette hummed. “She’s got a lot of followers in school, not just our class.” She looked down at her food, brows knitted together. “Dames, you have international coverage, right?”

“That might just be the dumbest question you’ve ever asked me.”

The bluenette rolled her eyes. “Can I texted some friends from your phone?” She asked dryly. Damian only shrugged, gesturing across the table to Colin who still had the smartphone. The boy was quick to pass it over.

UNKNOWN: You arent gonna believe this

New Contact: ???

New Contact: who?

UNKNOWN: Its Marinette.

UNKNOWN: dont freak out

UNKNOWN: but Im textng from Damian Wayne’s Phone

Marinette held out the phone, leaning close to Damian and smiled wide. The boy looked up at his phone, camera app open and focusing on him and his cousin. His face remained expressionless but he held up a simple peace sign as she snapped the photo. Marinette then quickly sent it off to the number she was texting.

UNKNOWN: proof

New Contact: GIRL?!?!?!

New Contact: WTF!?!!?

The smudge-proof, crease-proof, waterproof, and tear-proof formula provides high-impact pigment with an even glide and a featherweight feel. Its soft, graduated point is precise enough to create a thin, smooth band along the inner rim of the eye, and also wide enough to be easily swathed across the entire lid. A detachable sharpener maintains the tip for ultimate precision, while a built-in sponge can be used to blend for a seamless, smoky finish.

It glides onto lids seamlessly without snagging or cracking thanks to the addition of hydrating avocado oil and hyaluronic acid. Want a defined sharp line or a smoked-out eye? Have ‘em both. Each liner comes with a smudger and shaper so you can mix up your look to your heart’s content.

SAG Awards 2020: The Best Skin, Hair and Makeup Looks on the Red Carpet

As award season marches on, this week brings another round of celebrity beauty looks to inspire us, courtesy of last night's SAG Awards.

Also known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the ceremony celebrates the best in television and film—which means we get a double dose of glam from our favourite red carpet stars.

These were the best skin, hair and makeup moments:

Zoë Kravitz

Zoë Kravitz at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Zoë Kravitz at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Two words: Blown. Away! Zoë looks like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn in this gown, gloves and elegant hair and makeup. The peach tones are doing incredible things for her skin—which isn't too covered up, since we can still see her freckles—and I love the cat eyes and subtle shading of her lids. She is flawless!

Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Dakota Fanning at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Dakota traded her usual girly aesthetic for a sexy, beachy vibe, and I'm here for it. Especially the messy, mermaid hair texture, which dresses down the sparkly green dress. (I think it's bad lighting that is making her blonde seem so yellow!) The makeup couldn't be more delicate, with sheer washes of peach on her lids and cheeks.

Dakota is wearing: Tinted lip balm in Super Cashmere

Lupita Nyong‘o

Lupita Nyong'o at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Lupita Nyong'o at the 2020 SAG Awards.

You don't often see old Hollywood hairstyles with Afro hair texture, but Lupita's 1940s-inspired updo shows us how it's done. Then, she matched her makeup to her dress by layering white next to black eyeliner. The rich berry blush and lipstick bring it all together.

Lupita is wearing: Blush in Haute Couture • Eyeliner in Black Vinyl • Eyeliner in French Lace • False lashes in C.10 • Lipstick in Jezebel

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Reese Witherspoon at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Reese is wearing the exact same flippy bob hairstyle we saw at the Golden Globes, but now I like it even better. I think it's because the makeup colours are a lot more flattering here—no brown tones, and a cherry lipstick that brings her face to life. All together, the effect is young and fresh.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Scarlett Johansson at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Scarlett is back on her game with this slick, tight updo and bright orangey-red lipstick. I love how healthy her skin looks (and there's no sign of the white under-eyes we saw at the Golden Globes!). Her eyes are emphasized with warm shimmery shadow, a sweep of liquid liner, and a pop of gold at the inner corners.

Sophie Turner

Sophie Turner at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Sophie Turner at the 2020 SAG Awards.

While it doesn't have the wow factor of her 2019 Met Gala look, Sophie's long waves and peachy-pink makeup are super pretty. Rather than dark eyeliner or shadow, she's relying on extra long lashes to make her eyes pop. I also like the light dusting of sparkly shadow on top of the pink.

Joey King

Joey King at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Joey King at the 2020 SAG Awards.

I appreciate how Joey keeps mixing it up this award season. This time, it's all about the slicked-back hair, extra long earrings and sultry, smoky charcoal eyeshadow. Although I'd prefer a slightly lighter touch, this is probably my favourite look I've seen on her yet. (I hope she tones down the lip injections, though!)

Joey is wearing: Moisturizer • Primer • Foundation in 20CP • Concealer in 20CP • Powder in 30NN • Blush in Going Native • Setting spray • Eyeshadow primer • Eyeshadow in Stranded, Jet and Drift • Eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy • Eyeliner in Perversion and Smoke • Mascara • Brow pencil in Cafe Kitty • Lip liner in Liar • Lipstick in Ex-Girlfriend

Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Michelle Williams at the 2020 SAG Awards.

After her stiff waves and orange dress at the Golden Globes, I'm happy to see Michelle upping the glam factor. The makeup is much more intense than usual, with long lashes, black liner and a rich red lip. (And stars are just like us—they get pimples, too!) But it's the Art Deco barrette and angular waved bob that really make this stand out.

Michelle is wearing: Serum • Moisturizer • Eye cream • Lip balm

Camila Mendes

Camila Mendes at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Camila Mendes at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Is anyone else getting Kendall Jenner vibes from Camila? She didn't take any risks with this simple hair and makeup, but it still looks lovely. The key elements are matte skin, matte rose lipstick and soft lashes—with her unusual arched brows framing her face.

Rachel Brosnahan

Rachel Brosnahan at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Rachel Brosnahan at the 2020 SAG Awards.

I loved Rachel's mid-length soft waves at the Golden Globes, but she's had a haircut since then and possibly a blonder hair colour. I'm not as into this textured bob, which seems too trendy for her, but I do love these smoky eyes. And she has gorgeous skin and brows.

Rachel is wearing: Foundation in Porcelaine • Concealer in 1 • Powder in 1 • Powder • Blush in Glow (as highlighter) • Blush in Petal • Eyeshadow in Steel, Marine and Baby Pink • Eyeshadow in Silky Rose, Metallic Pink and Silky Steel • Eyeliner in Sparkling Black • Mascara in Deep Black • Brow pencil in Cappuccino • Brow gel • Lip balm • Lip liner in Nude • Tinted lip balm in Nude

Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Jennifer Garner at the 2020 SAG Awards.

I'm glad Jennifer wore her hair down in these textured waves, because otherwise, her ensemble would've looked way too "prom." I can't fault the au naturel makeup—just a hint of mascara and a pinky tinted balm on the lips—but I feel like she deserves a stronger overall style statement. We need more edge!

Lili Reinhart

Lili Reinhart at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Lili Reinhart at the 2020 SAG Awards.

If you feel like you've seen this before, you have—Lili wore a similar tight updo and smoky eye makeup the last time she made a red carpet appearance, at TIFF. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it shows off her beautiful skin, and I love the shading around her eyes.

Madeline Brewer

Madeline Brewer at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Madeline Brewer at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Madeline didn't shy away from colour, choosing a bright turquoise dress and even brighter orange lipstick to go with her signature red hair. I don't find it the most sophisticated combination, though, and the hair seems a bit too casual for the outfit. What I do love are her brows, skin finish and barely-there eye makeup.

Madeline is wearing: Foundation • Lipstick in Laugh Louder

Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Margot Robbie at the 2020 SAG Awards.

What is going on with Margot this award season? She's still rocking the dark roots from the Golden Globes, and in this loose bun, it truly looks like she didn't have time to go to the hairdresser's. The makeup seems like a repeat, too—just flushed cheeks and a slightly deeper lip colour. Margot, you are better than this!

Margot is wearing: Moisturizer • Skin balm • Blush in Rosewood • Eyeshadow in Blurry Blue

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Jennifer Aniston at the 2020 SAG Awards.

This is classic Jen, but at least she didn't wear black this time. I think her hair looks better in this straight-ish blowout, rather than the waves she had at the Golden Globes. The makeup is exactly the same. Pretty, but predictable.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Nicole Kidman at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Nicole should wear blue more often—it looks so good with her blue eyes, pale skin and strawberry blonde hair. I like the matching hint of silvery blue shadow at the inner corners of her eyes (although I don't love the lashes), and the vintage waves look thick and luscious.

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Millie Bobby Brown at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Believe it or not, Millie is only 15... but here, she's been styled like someone 20 or 30 years older. The entire look is too mature—the mother of the bride outfit is the worst part, but also the stiff long hairstyle and brown smoky shadow. She needs to be taking cues from Kiernan Shipka!

Millie is wearing: Serum • Moisturizer • Eye mask • Foundation in Light Medium 8 • Powder in Light 1 • Blush in Shy Shi • Eyeshadow in Telepathic Taupe and Deep Velvet • Eyeshadow in Sublime • Eyeliner in Shade and Blk Coffee • Mascara • Brow gel in Brown • Lip oil • Lip liner in Supernatural • Lipstick in LaBeija • Lip gloss in Flesh Astral

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Charlize Theron at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Apparently, Charlize didn't have time to do her roots, so she adorned them with a diamond tennis bracelet instead! I can't say I'm a fan (although I'm not going to complain about her blonde because I'm pretty sure it's the lighting). Her go-to neutral makeup was updated with a pinky shadow from lash lines to brows.

Sarah Hyland

Sarah Hyland at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Sarah Hyland at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Sarah's dress and spray tan seem more fitting for a springtime music event, not the SAG Awards in January. If she'd leaned into the pastel tones for a more ethereal look, it might've worked okay. But the tan plus the lashes, liner and contouring cheapen this.

Sarah is wearing: Foundation in 550 Light/Medium • Blush in Innocence • Eyeshadow in Peach Punch • Mascara • False lashes in Mia • Brow pencil in Soft Brown • Lip gloss in Fling

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez at the 2020 SAG Awards.

Close-up of Jennifer Lopez at the 2020 SAG Awards.

I was hopeful that JLo would give us a head-to-toe old Hollywood moment, but the hair and makeup just aren't cutting it. The two face-framing pieces pulled out of her updo are really dated, as are the smoky eyes and heavy lashes. It's also a shame that her skin is covered in thick, shiny foundation... and that goopy nude lip look needs to go!

Hey doll hey!! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I woke early today (around 7:30 AM). Feeling exhausted today but still have enough energy to make a nice Italian meal tonight for supper.

Today’s perfume is Ralph Lauren Romance. Let’s jump into today’s Face of the Day.

Base:

I first primed my problematic pore areas with Tarte Clean Slate Timeless Smoothing Primer ($39 at Ulta) and then primed the full face using Makeup Forever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer ($37 at Sephora) in Smoothing. I then went in with the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter ($44 at Sephora) in the shade 3 Light Medium. My foundation today is Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation ($44 at Sephora, on the Beautylish website, and on the Charlotte Tilbury website) in the shade 3 Neutral. I contoured using Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand ($38 at Sephora, on the Beautylish website, and on the Charlotte Tilbury website) in the shade Medium Dark to contour the perimeter of my face and down the bridge of my nose. I highlighted the tops of my cheek bones, bridge of the nose, center of the chin, and high points of my forehead using Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand ($38 on the Beautylish website) and then I went in with just a touch of Benefit Boxed Highlighter ($30 at Ulta and Sephora) in the shade cookie to set the high points of my face. I concealed my under eyes using Revolution Beauty Supersize Conceal and Define Full Coverage Concealer ($10 on their website) in the shade C 6.5. I warmed up the perimeter of my face using Tarte Breezy Cream Bronzer ($29 on the Tarte website) in the shade Grace Bay (deep matte bronze). I set my under eyes using Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes ($28 at Ulta) in the shade 1 and then set the rest of my face using the Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Setting Powder ($33 at Ulta and Sephora) in the shade Translucent. I then topped off the perimeter of my face using a light layer of MAC Bronzing Powder ($30 at MAC) in the shade Matte Bronze. I chose the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Perfecting Powder ($13.99 at Ulta) in the shade Beige L4-M1.

Eyes:

I set my brows using Believe Beauty Eyebrow Styling Gel ($4 at Dollar General) in clear and then filled in my brows using Joah Brow Down To Me Precision Brow Pencil ($9.50 on their website) in the shade Brunette. I carved out the brow line using BH Cosmetics Studio Pro Brow Highlighter ($5 on their website) on the matte side and then I primed my lids using P.Louise Base ($10 pound sterling/ $12.08 USD on their website… can also be found on the Morphie website for $15) in the shade Rumour 0.5. For today’s eye look I used the Juvia’s Place Nubian 3 Coral Palette ($20 at Ulta and on the Juvia’s Place website) and 3 shadow’s from The Balm’s Meet Matt(e) Ador and Meet Matt(e) Nude palettes (both palettes are discontinued … they were limited edition). I started with the Nubian 3 palette and went into the 2nd shade of the 3rd row (dusty light grey matte) and buffed that all over the lids (from lash line to brow line). I then went into the 2nd shade of the 1st row (deep slate grey matte) and buffed that into the outer 1/3 of the mobile lid and the outer v of the crease. I then went into the Meet Matt(e) Ador Palette and used the shade Matt Soto (a dusty black matte) and buffed that in 1/2 through the outer 1/3 of the mobile lid and 1/2 way through the outer v of the crease. I then went back to the Nubian 3 palette and patted the 3rd shade of the 1st row (slate grey metallic) over the remaining 2/3 of the mobile lid. I then went into the 1st shade of the 1st row (light toned silver metallic) and patted that over the inner 1/3 of the mobile lid. I then went back into the Meet Matt(e) Ador and the shade Matt Lee (deep black matte) and deepened the very outer part of the mobile lid and the outer v. I then went into the Matt(e) Nude palette and set the brow line using the shade Matt Malloy (pure white matte). For the lower lash line I buffed more of the deep slate grey shade on closest to the lash line, and then buffed that out with more of the dusty light grey. I then used more of Matt Lee to deepen the bottom lash line. I highlighted my inner corners with Urban Decay Single Eyeshadow ($20 at Ulta) in the shade Midnight Cowboy (pink champagne with silver reflects). I tight lined my upper and lower waterlines using Flower Beauty Forever Wear Long-Wear Eyeliner ($7.99 at Ulta) in the shade Onyx. I created a mid-sized wing using Joah I’m So Fly Brush Tip Eyeliner ($8.50 on their website) in black. I coated my upper and lower lashes with 1 coat of Benefit Roller Lash Mascara ($25 at Ulta and Sephora) in the shade Black and then popped on a set of Kiss Looks So Natural Lash ($11.99 for a 5 pack at Ulta) in the style Flirty.

Cheeks and Lips:

I applied my blush with the rest of my cream products since I was using ColourPop Super Shock Cheek ($8 on their website) in the shade Birthday Suit (neutral pink) I lined and filled in my lips using ColourPop Lippie Pencil ($6 on their website) in the shade Brink (terracotta rose) and then tapped a bit of L’Oreal Rouge Signature Lightweight Matte Lip Stain ($5.99 at Ulta) in the shade I Create (a pale dusty coral) over the top and then topped that with NARS Lip Gloss ($24 at Sephora) in the shade Dolce Vita (sheer dusty rose).

Final Thoughts:

I love that with this Nubian 3 palette I can go from light and airy summer vibes to a smokey night on the town look. This palette is just stunning.

I haven’t worn lashes in so long that my lash line feels super heavy, but I thought that this look called for a bit more drama than my natural lashes could handle.

Well that’s all for now dolls. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/night and that you are in good spirits and great health.

Remember dolls…. Save a spoon for a bit of lipstick.

XOXO

Smokey Grey Eyed Face of the Day Hey doll hey!! How's your day/night going? Great I hope. I woke early today (around 7:30 AM).

Mega Project Pan 2019 Part 1

So I got really tired of having a bunch of half-used items rolling around my house, hence ‘mega project pan’ LOL. It’s going to be 300 items, and will last the rest of 2019. That being said, there’s quite a few items that are basically spitting distance from being done, and yet... I don’t? Updates will be at the beginning of August, beginning of September, beginning of October, beginning of November, and beginning of December.

Logically, I know that I won’t use out everything, and I know I’ll be ‘rotating’ some products out every week or two so I don’t get fed up using them, and my ‘goals’ for this reflect this!

Top to Bottom, left to Right

1-3. Pedal to the Metal Cream Eyeshadow palette - I want to make significant progress on the gold and bronze shades. While I want to work on the blue as well, I don’t really think it’s something I can wear regularly, so my goal for this is just to USE.

4.Physician’s Formula Sexy Booster Blush - I’ve had this since high school, and I’ve already hit pan on it. I love the way it smells, but want to be done with it already, as it’s been here too long! Goal is to use out.

5. Milani Bella Copper - another oldie here, I want to use it enough I wear off the top pattern on it.

6.Loreal single eyeshadow - this one fell and cracked. my goal here is to hit pan on the damaged side of it. Again, another old product, I often use this to set my eyebrows...

7. Colourpop La La - Its a very pretty color, I just want to use it more often!

8.Urban Decay Roach - Goal here is just to use more!

9.Carmindy & Co. single eyeshadow - I’d like to wear the pattern off the top a bit. Have had this since.... high school? I think?

10.ELF Pressed powder - goal is to use out by the end of the year. It’s translucent and I mainly use it for setting my foundation/concealer.

11-12. Blue palette - Hot pink and rose blushes - goals for these are to hit pan on the hot pink and wear off the top of the rose pan.

13-17. Blue palette - lip glosses - hit pan on everything BUT the red in the middle row. These aren’t that big, so I assume it’ll be easy!

14-27. Blue palette - eyeshadows - pans 1, 2, and 4 in the top row, pans 1, 3, and 4 in the second row, pans 3, 4, and 5 in the third row, and pans 2, 3, 4, 5 in the bottom row. goals for these? Just use them, ideally get a dip. They’re not super deep to begin with.

28. LA Colors cream to powder foundation - Goal is to use up. I enjoy the fact its heavy coverage and easy to apply, not a fan of the way it seems to ‘sit’ on top of my skin and is so easy to smudge.

Left to right, top to bottom

29. Z Palette - middle row - pink lipstick - this is a lipstick that I melted out of the tube and into a pan after it became too annoying to use in stick form. That was several years ago. I really do need to use it out. Goal? Hit pan.

30. Z Palette - middle row, far right - gold eyeshadow - I’ve already made a dip in it, so my goal is to hit pan!

31. Z Palette - Bottom row - Coppery/Bronze eyeshadow -goal is to form a dip in this.

32. Z Palette - bottom row, far right - Urban Decay Fireball mini - goal is just to use!

33-35. Nyx Rockstar Palette - gold, pink, light brown - goal is to use out the gold, hit pan again on the pink, and hit pan on the light brown.

36-39. Urban Decay Bamboo Palette - Midnight Cowboy Rides Again,, flipside, kiddie pool, twice baked - I accidentally dropped this palette and shattered it and had to halfassedly repair it with rubbing alcohol. Goal here is just to use it more.

40-47. Rose Gold Palette - Angelic, shy, flamingo, blessed, 24k, fling, moondust, sandalwood - Goals here is just to use them. Ideally wear off the top of the shadows and maybe even form a dip.

48-52. Nabi Blush palette - Top row (right hand side, left to right), pan 1, 2, and 4. Bottom row (left hand side, left to right), pans 1 and 3. Goal is just to use.

Left to right, top to bottom.

53. LA Colors Chill - Goal is to use, maybe see a dip.

54. Physician’s Formula Nudewear Powder - goal is to wear down the writing.

55-56. Contour and Blush Compact - goal is to use both sides more.

57. Rimmel Stay Matte - This one is translucent, so I’m hoping to use it out. I’ve already repressed it once, so it shouldn’t be too difficult (assuming I remember to put on makeup in the mornings!)

58-61. Blush/Contour palette - Honestly, I’d just like to use this one a few times. No real goals set for this due to how massive the pans actually are.

Top to Bottom, left to right.

62-63. Novo eyeshadow palette - orange and bronze -- Goal is to use, maybe even see the letters wear down a little.

64-67. Nabi highlighter palette - left row, top pan, right row, top pan and bottom two pans. Goal here is just to use a few times. Pans are huge, no real progress to be made.

68. Wet n Wild Mellow Wine - Goal here is to use off the top design a bit.

69. Burts Bees Face Scrub - Goal here is to use out.

Left to Right, Sharpie lines indicate approximate fill level

70. St Ive’s Apricot scrub - Goal is to use out. Not a huge fan.

71. SashaPure hair curl creme - Goal is to use out. I enjoy it, but I’ve also got many other similar products.

72. Clean n Clear face wash - mini/travel sized, brand new. I have too many face washes, so goal is to use out.

73. Vanilla perfume - I love it, but I’ve got so many tiny perfumes it’s embarrassing. Goal is to use out.

74. Covergirl foundation - This is actually a little too dark for me, but is close enough to my summer tan color that I can go ahead and mix it with a touch of my current foundation and make it work. Goal is just to make it work.

left to right

75. Color Change lipgloss - Goal is just to use. I really enjoy this, but I’ve got too many different lip items!

76. Palladio cheek and lip stick - I don’t love it, it’s a little too light and shimmery for me, so I use it more as a highlighter. Goal is just to use.

77. Wet n Wild Pixie - I like the color, I don’t like how it seems to stay ‘tacky’ through the day. I’ll use it as a shadow base. Goal is to see progress.

78.Gold eye crayon - This came out of a set, I think. Goal here is just to use once in a while.

79. ELF Black eye crayon - I have WAY too many black eyeliners. Goal is just to use and see some progress.

80. Covergirl apple lipgloss. This is ancient - Goal is to use.

81. Tarte Cleansing Gel - This was a free sample I got forever ago. Goal is to use out - I’ve enough face cleansers LOL

82. Wet n Wild Flirt in the Street - Basically new, goal is to actually use.

83. NARS Cruella - I’ve had this for years. I like it, but don’t use it. Goal is to see progress.

84-85. Maybelline 16 Hour Lipstick - Color + Top Coat - Goal is just to use more often...

86-87. Rimmel HeartBreaker Color + Top Coat - Another one that’s ancient but I love. I want to use this one more often.

Left to Right.

88. Pacifica Coconut Perfume - I don’t love this, but it’s still nice. I think it’s a little too one-note for me, so I’ll usually ‘mix’ it with the vanilla perfumes I’ve got. Goal is to use out.

89. Katy Perry lipgloss - This is brand new, so my goal is just to see some progress.

90. Sephora chapstick - See some progress

91.Revo Pina Colada chapstick - This is ancient yet unused. Goal is to see movement.

92-93. Rimmel Make you Move color + clear coat - I love this, but need to use it more. Goal is just to use.

Left to Right, Top to Bottom.

94.NYX HD Foundation - I don’t really like this one, it feels like I’ve got to ‘WORK’ to get a tiny amount of product onto my sponge/puff. Goal here is just to use once in a while.

95. Sephora Gel Liner - I love this, but I need to use it out, as it’s starting to dry on me. Goal is to see progress.

96. ELF Belle - This is old, and while I love it, I can’t let it sit forever. Goal is just to see some progress.

97. ELF Brownie Points - Goal is to use more often.

98-103 Colourpop single shadows in Bae, Mooning, Amaze, Truth, Millionaire, and La La. I accidentally photo’d La La twice. Goal for these is just to use, and for Bae, see the pan get bigger.

So that’s apparently all the pictures Tumblr will allow me to attach to one post, so I’ll have to post everything else separately.

Well, of course it’s Pinks and Berries for summer. Choose from Lip Gloss, Eyeshadow, Nail Color and or course Lipsticks. All On Sale now in Campaign 17.

If you like the wet look for your lips, the Glazewear Lip Gloss is one of our most popular items.

Like matte instead, choose one of the lipsticks in the matte collection. Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick or mark. By Avon Lipclick Matte Full Color Lipstick.

If you are looking for the natural look, the Grey Matters or Berry Love are both great choices in the Eye Shadow collection.

l with your reds though. Don’t pick a color that’s too dark, it will make you look red if you know what I mean.

Don’t forget Skin Care!

Before putting on color, you need to take care of the skin first. Our skin is the largest organ in the body. Skin is also very visible. It’s a good idea at any age to start taking care of things.

For summer, most women prefer to look glowing. If your winter skin needs a boost, try the Avon Vitamin C Brightening Serum. Avon has come up with a formula to get the vitamin C stable and potent. It gives the skin a brighter, smoother and clearer (more even-toned) appearance.

If you need some exfoliation, Avon AHA Refining Cream is a great choice.

If you have the “w” word (wrinkles), Avon Anew Line Eraser with Retinol Treatment and Anew Clinical Line Eraser with Retinol Targeted Treatment are awesome. It’s one of my customer’s favorites. They both contain retinol which is the #1 anti-wrinkle ingredient recommended by dermatologists. Avon was the first to market with retinol many years ago. And they are all On Sale for any 2 for $42 mix and match. I highly recommend all these products as do my many customers. I haven’t had any complaints regarding these guys.

Introducing Avon Auto-Replenish! Never run out of your favorite Facial Products!

Prices are good as of the campaign posted. Avon will honor these prices for two additional campaigns as long as you order from my Avon eStore. You can “backorder” for two additional campaigns by selecting the campaign number link in the “Backorder Avon” menu at the top of this page.

What up guys! Tonight I have a post all about my favorite pale girl friendly makeup products and looks for Spring 2017.

I’ve gathered up all the products I have been reaching for this spring and loving. Grab a snack, cause this is going to be a long one.

The Primers

I have been using the Too Faced Hangover Rx Replenishing Primer under my eyes lately, with allergy season in full effect and my skin not being able to make up its mind on if it wants to be oily or super dry, this little guy has been a life saver.

With the weather warming up, the creasing is real, so Too Faced Shadow Insurance has been keeping my shadow locked in place all day. A little bit goes a long was too. I usually apply a light layer on my lid up to the brow and dust over the crease of my eye with translucent powder so my eyeshadow won’t end up looking gunked up in my crease. The struggle is real for hooded lids.

The Illuminators

I have really been into liquid illuminators this year. While the Laura Mercier Radiance Primer is technically a primer, it adds a beautiful glow to the skin.

The Marc Jacobs Coconut Glow Gel Highlighter is super glowing, I love it on the high points of the face just over my foundation or even mixed into the foundation. Despite being a golden undertone I think it looks lovely on pale skin but can look very golden. I would love this in a cool toned shade cause the product is great.

Nyx Born to Glow has been my go to on days I want a cooler toned highlight.

For days I am wanting a rose gold glow, I love love love this little guy from e.l.f. However. I think it’s been discontinued. They do have a baked duo in Rose Gold I think I need.

The Blushes

I really cannot get enough of that Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Paarty. I had to make myself not reach for it every single day. It’s peachy, yet rosy and all around perfect for pale skin.

An oldie but a goodie is the Milani Baked blush in Berry Amore. It’s similar in color to the Tarte one but with a glowy sheen. This blush has hit the ride or die status.

When I really want a warmer blush, the two blushed from the e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Face Palette are so lovely. They area delicately pigmented and a natural looking. That whole palette is amazing, especially for porcelain skin.

The Bronze

I used to never use bronzer, but I am really digging it this year to warm up my complexion, especially since I lightened my hair. I use a very light hand and do the “3” method around the perimeter of my face. The two I have been reaching for the most is the BB Bronze Booster from Physicians Formula in light and the one in the e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Palette.

The Highlight

I am always all about the highlight and I am on a kick with these duo chrome ones and ultra shiny blind the gods kind of highlight.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Glow Kit is just freaking cool as well as the Nyx Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powders. I can’t get enough.

Then I have the days of loving a golden glow, yes, even on my pale ass skin I go for the gold (pun totally intended) I think it can be stunning on pale skin. The Tarteist Pro Glow Palette has for of the most beautiful and underrated highlighters plus it’s got the best contour shades for fair/light skin tones. There are also gorgeous champagne options in this palette too. You can find my reviews of all these highlighters here:

The Eyes

These four have been in constant rotation.

The Tarte Pro Eyeshadow Palette is amazing quality and incredibly versatile, and Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey is one that is really cool. I love the warm grungy shade.

Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey Eye Shadow Palette Review + Looks

And of course the Naked 3 from Urban Decay has been a Spring staple for me since it’s launch and ABH Modern Renaissance, Well, we have a love affair that is nowhere near ending.

The Liners

I hardly ever talk about lip liners, mostly because up until recently I had a whole 2 that I liked but these 3 have been giving my lips life lately.

The NYX Liquid Suede Liner in Soft Spoken is that perfect natural lip shade and the product itself is smooth and long wearing. I use this one almost daily with a variety of lipsticks. The Essence one in the shade In the Nude is awesome, all the Essence liners are but the shade was my go-to for warmer liner until Makeup Revolution sneaked in there with a liner from the Retro Matte Lip Kit in Echelon. The liner in those kits are so good but that liquid lipstick was literally the worst thing I ever put on my mouth. It was bad it made me angry, but that liner tho.

As for the eyeliners, I was going to talk about the Covergirl Eyeshadow Pencil but it is also discontinued. So onward we go… The Nyx Faux Black and White collection are bad ass. I am having a moment with BlackBerry from the Faux Black line in place of black liner and Seashell for the waterline. The longevity of these is amazing and unique shades they come in make them fantastic.

The Lips

This section could have been a post all it’s own.

Starting in the nude/natural/your lips but better shades. First up is my current lip obsession. I never thought I would be so into a soft pink lipstick so much but it is just everything, color, quality, comfort. It’s the Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme in Slow Burn.

Then there is Honeycomb from Bite Beauty, from the Amuse Bouche range. Aptly named and perfect for spring.

These two beauties from Glips have been in favorites before. Kind of hard to get your hands on outside of Columbia but if you can get a lippy from Glips DO IT! They are sooo good. I’m loving Cupcake and Boho Chic still.

Next is two Wet N Wild lippies. I believe the Velvet Lip Pencil in Hickory Smoked was also in my Fall Lip Favorites, its just such a great finish, color, and quality. Not to mention the price point on these guys. The WetnWild Megalast is a new addition to the collection and I haven’t gotten a whole lot of wear from him yet, I thought the shade Rose Bud was the perfect spring lipstick. These Megalast lipsticks are insanely good For $1.99

For some more bold and vampy options cause I’m gonna wear a vampy lip no matter the time of year. Just like I will ALWAYS wear black. It’s ingrained in me. Anyway, I’ve been loving deep brick reds and browns right now. One would think Fall for these shades but I pair with a glowy look like I did in my Ostara tutorial and it just works.

And a couple liquid lippies. That little guy from Tarte… Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Birthday suit. Perfect everyday shade, and Nyx Liquid Suede in Soft Spoken. These are shades I have been picking when I can’t decide on a lippy.

Lastly for the lips. I typically am not a gloss fan at all but I got these two recently as samples and have actually been digging them. The Buxom Full On Lip Cream in White Russian has a nice, not too sticky formula. Great no brainer lip. The Lancome Metallic Gloss is super sticky but damn it looks good. I mean, have my lips looked better? LOL.

The Nails

It’s funny cause I am listening to Nine Inch Nails right now. LOL Anyway, This past year I have been on point with keeping my nails … on point. Thanks, Chandra! My roomie does nail art.

This Spring I have been reaching for a lot of nudes, dusty rose shades and mauves… and olive green. One of my go-to for a couple years now has been the WetnWild Megalast in Private Viewing, it’s a classic nude creme. Pure Ice in Mauvelous is also a creme, a pure purple mauve shade for when I am feeling something a tad darker. The Revlon shade in Gray Mauve is an interesting shade, it’s a pale pink nude with slight blue micro shimmer giving it a pearlescent quality. Looks fab with a blue shifting duo chrome taco ahem, I mean top coat.

These next few here are from my favorite polish brand, Sinful Colors. The shade You Just Wait is a sheer pink with a green shift, Awesome topper over a pink or nude creme. Supernova is a super metallic almost metal looking cool toned rose shade. I love it for the accent nail. Then these 2 from KylieXSinful, I don’t care if Mama June made these polishes, they are gorgeous. Karamel is a nude with green and gold shifting micro glitter. Creme del la Creme is a pure rose gold metallic goodness. That name makes no sense, it’s a metallic, not a creme polish! Get with it, King Kylie. Jeez. The last one from the gel range is Tanlines. Dumb name, awesome dusty warm dusty rose shade. I hate tan lines irl though. Lastly for nails and products! OPI in Suzi The First Lady of Nails. Yep, from the Washington DC themed Fall line. Why? I dunno, but I have done my pedicure with this shade for a full month. Cause green toenails are attractive, right?

Okay, it’s getting weird. I’m exhausted. LOL Here’s some links to tutorials of looks I have been rocking this Spring and maybe some throwbacks from the year before.
