Dave was a makeup artist who regularly held makeup artistry class at the local community college. He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity. Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged houwives who wanted to fine-tune their makeup skills so as to make themlves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a emingly boundless interest in makeup artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.
Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone. Guess quickly started to spread. Why did he learn makeup? Was he to ek for a woman to be his life partner? Doubts like this came crowding in.
Throughout the lessons ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled. When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, one of them couldn't resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in makeup artistry. What followed was a dead silence. After what emed century, he said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight becau of diabetes and she was no longer able to apply her makeup. Fearing being laughed at, she locked herlf in her room, abandoning herlf to great grief. She was absolutely beautiful even without m
akeup. But what upt her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without makeup. Sensing her loneliness in a colorless world, he was also at a loss as to what to do. Once informed of this lass, he determined to learn to make up without the hesitation, hoping to make a difference.
