she usually always wore her hair up but tonight she let it flow down her back , soft curls framing her face , she had braided the left side of her bangs it helped keep them from covering her eyes , she had even applied a bit of makeup some blush and eyeliner and mascara , her mom had shown her when she was fourteen how to apply it subtly , she added the finishing touch of a little dab of gloss on her full lips she rubbed them together softly so it wasnt too thick .
