There once was a 13-year-old girl named Jacintha. Earlier this year, Jacintha started her journey into what she called her, “K-pop era.” As the young girl consumed more Korean content, she became enamoured with the music, tv-shows, outfits, and make-up looks. She spent time learning the Korean language and the many choreographies that the music had to offer. But then came that fateful day where she wished to learn how to do make-up.

Although the make-up she wanted to do was not dramatic or difficult, Jacintha still had to learn the basics, which proved to be a battle. Especially her eyebrows. She used a brow brush and aggressively combed through her eyebrow hairs. Then taking the glittery, black eyeshadow and a flat brush, she applied it onto her eyebrows. Sweeping back and forth, following the shape of her brows. When the battle was over, she let out a deep sigh and stepped back to see herself in full view in the mirror.

“Looks good,” she assured herself and walked out of the bathroom.

While she was walking, she was stopped by her older sister, Rachel. When Rachel looked at Jacintha, she burst out in a fit of laughter.

“What did you do?!” Rachel exclaimed, unable to catch her breath.

“I did my eyebrows!” Jacintha snapped back.

“With what? Permanent marker? Go wipe that off and I’ll show you how to do your eyebrows properly,” Rachel offered.

A little hurt and confused, Jacintha walked back into the bathroom, preparing for battle once again.
