I MISSED HER BECAUSE OF A MAKE-UP ARTIST

A STORY WRITTEN BY ALIGWEKWE NNAMDI

(Not a true life story)

I missed meeting the lady of my dream because of a  make-up artist.

One day I was walking down the street, and saw a lady who just left a make-up shop after making up her face for an event.

I had a strong feeling dragging me to stop her and have my first approach on her, but because I was not a fan of loud make-up, I decided not to approach her.

But deep inside of me something kept pushing me in my imagination that there could be a hidden beauty behind the loud make-up on her face, courtesy of the make-up artist.

I happen to be a fan of ladies who appear on their God given natural beauty. Sometimes I believe that make-up can hide the original and natural beauty of a lady.

Guess what at last, I walked passed her without stopping her, because the loud make-up forced my eyes off her and I continued my walk to my destination.

The next morning, i was in my official car rushing to work, and I saw this same lady trying to throw away trash in a refuse bin infront of her apartment.

Guess what? She was without a make-up on her face because it was early in the morning. Looking at her continuously while the car was moving, all I saw was a natural pretty face. And wow! I saw how much the make-up artist hid her natural beauty with a very loud make-up the very day I first saw her.

And I said to myself, this was the natural beauty that was covered by that make-up artist. A hidden beauty that was covered but still dragged my frequency.

You wont blame me for not knowing. The beauty was indeed covered by the loud make-up, so how could I have known. I am human by the way.

Another day came, I saw another beautiful lady, whose beauty was helped by a make-up artist. But the make-up was so professional such that I thought it was her natural beauty.

Because I am a fan of natural beauty, I approached her and booked a date with her. On the day of our first date, she decided to show up without a professional make-up that she put on the very day I first saw her.

I was disappointed when she showed up at the venue of our first date. Then I realized how make-up artists can hide the dream woman of a man behind a make-up powder.

When I asked her who was behind the make-up, she said it was Funke Make-Up Shop. This happens to be the same make-up shop that made me miss out on the first beauty I first saw. They made me loose the beauty of my dream and now they have led me to the wrong person with a professional make-up that looks like natural beauty. 

I had to keep my conversation with this new lady I met very brief and did not show any interest during our conversation. I had to make our discussion end very quick because the beauty that attracted me was professionally made-up and not natural.

Today I ask, do you think the make-up artists are hiding your dream lady behind the make-up powder?
For me, they hid mine with a loud make-up and I can't find her again.
