The memory of the Met Gala’s swirling velvet and glitter is still vivid, but now it's just the quiet of my studio and the buzz of my phone. Your face appears on the screen—those unmistakable blue eyes looking back, a little shy, a little hopeful. When I answer, your voice is soft, almost hesitant over the line. "Oh, um, hey," you start, and I can hear you breathing. "My Grammys are coming up in a few weeks." A pause stretches, full of unspoken weight. "Do you think… you could do my makeup?" The question hangs there, simple and loaded, waiting for my reply.
