He always works late. Sure, I want to look polished, Do not make me look like one of those trash reality TV stars. Something chic. I'd like my eyes to pop, but not too much, and don't be afraid to use more eyeliner. I like more of that, of course. Well let me just get started here. I'm just pinning back your bangs and let's get you all primed. What are you doing. Oh, I was just doing some skincare. Am I using too much pressure? I thought you were just gonna do my makeup, not give me a massage, right, of course. Then let's just do the eyes while that product sinks in for shadow. I want something natural, like a mushroom color. Hushroom mushroom, like a white button or a portobello or cremony. Are you trying to be funny? No, not at all. I just wanted to get an idea. Just make it natural. I wish I could see what's going on. Of course, here's the mirror. That color looks really good on you. It's coming together. I think if I add some minor maybe a flick on the outer corner, it would be just enough. Fine. So what do you do for work? I'm in real estate? Oh nice, I love this area. It's right next to downtown Long Beach, but the neighborhood is nice and quiet. So do you angle the mirror towards me? I just want to be able to see what you're doing? Absolutely down a little Messcara, Okay, how do we feel about the liner? Would you like more? Again? I want it to be natural?

Actually I'd like something similar to what we did last time. I seem to be the only person who doesn't want to look caked in makeup. It's natural, no problem, all right, and let me just pin back your bangs. We'll just start with the eyes again. No jokes today. Well I'm only funny before five pm. I forgot to mention this last time. But you have a beautiful home. Thanks, it's the craftsman look. It's very long beach, but we tried to put our own style into it, my husband and me. It shows. Are you both from around here? No, we're from Indiana, but we got a job in aerospace, so here we are. Moves are tough. Are you from around here? Yes? But I've heard so many people talk about how hard it is. You don't really get it till it happens to you. Of course, you know, the city isn't perfect. I've always wanted to see what it was like to live somewhere else, maybe get away for a while. You've never left, Nope, not even for schools abroad anything. Nope? Did you well? I was an no parent in Spain for a summer right after high school. Oh that sounds cool. While I was young and it was an experience, you know, Barcelona is incredible. The architecture alone is worth the visit. Being in real estate, I noticed these things. And what about the people. Oh it was hard because my Spanish is terrible, but I actually really liked being an o pair. You know how kids are. What do you mean, Well, they're curious. They tend to look up to you if you show an interest in what they're doing, you know, like books, TV shows. It's nice taking care of someone sometimes. Do you have any plans to travel soon? Yes, well, I'd like to get back to Indianapolis as soon as I have the chance. I can see that. Look this way, it can get really lonely here. What do you mean, Well, you know, people can be cliquey, and there's so much pride in the city. You might not always feel welcome if you're a transplant. Yes, people here are die hard. They are. It's like if I have to hear La compared to Long Beach one more time. All right, all right, it's not all bad. You know. It's the suburbs, but we have stuff. The suburbs are the suburbs, no matter how you dress them up. True, but we have a poor to university, tons of local small businesses and nightlife and arts scene. Okay, okay, I get it. I looked that way. I looked down. What was your favorite thing about Indiana? Well it wasn't organic. You could eat without judgment.

Oh, it's it's my husband.
