Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 341 Makeup

Aileen observed Violeta with a discerning eye. "Eugene must be the luckiest man," she said. "You're far more striking in person than in any photograph."

"Thank you," Violeta answered, her voice steady.

Aileen then inspected Violeta's makeup closely. "Who did this?"

The makeup artist hesitated, "Is there a problem, Aileen?"

Aileen's gaze was unyielding. "The eyeliner needs to be extended. Give it a more fox-like effect. Add a few more clusters of false lashes. The camera tends to wash out the makeup. Does Eugene want you to go for a pure look like Lydia? No, your features call for something sharper, more intense. Don't squander your natural advantages."

"Reapply the makeup," Aileen instructed firmly.

"Understood, Aileen."

Well, isn't she a no-nonsense person?

The makeup artist swiftly got to work, removing and then reapplying the makeup.

Time passed quickly, and after forty minutes of meticulous adjustments, Aileen was finally satisfied.

The shoot commenced only when she felt the results were right. Violeta, accustomed to patience, observed as Aileen, though kind, was direct and precise. With her extensive experience, Aileen had an uncanny ability to pinpoint any shortcomings, demonstrating what true professionalism looked like.

Under Aileen's expert direction, Violeta's images transformed into something extraordinary.

Her poised exterior was at odds with the raw ambition and desire that shimmered in her eyes, creating a captivating and potent presence.

Aileen, clearly pleased, remarked, "The promotional photos Apex did for you were dreadful. Trust me, darling, I've seen those."

"That's it for now. You'll have to wait for the final images," Aileen said.
