HER MAKEUP WAS SMUDGED IN SOME PLACES, likely from rubbing at her eyes. either that, or she had let her frustrations get the better of her & let out some tears. whatever it was, he was not going to pry about it. holding @m-atchmaker's face in his hand, he turns her head to the left , then to the right. inspecting how he could apply the eyeliner evenly, without getting rid of what was already there. he had some experience with makeup, from doing stageplays in his youth. it wasn't to say that he was some expert at it, nor would he claim to be one. but he definitely knew more than the average person who didn't partake in wearing makeup. he had more experiences wearing it than could be counted on two hands. which made him able to assist her with this sort of a wardrobe malfunction.
she seemed upset that he'd pointed it out to her, but it hadn't been done with ill intention. ALASTOR was trying to help her save face, and not look upon her future clients with a face that looked as if she had just been through a breakup herself. β don't be silly, my dear. i will fix you up good and proper. now stand still, otherwise you might end up looking lopsided. β keeping his hand on her chin, his other hand went in with the eyeliner. placing his thumb overtop of her eye, he encouraged her to close it. drawing with steady hands, he perfects the wing on one side, before tilting her head ever - so - slightly to get the other side. β you're shaking, relax. i'm not going to stab you. haha, that would make your eyes water even worse. β
