Maybe she wants to pass the time.
It could be that she gets inspiration for her stories when she's focused on doing her makeup. The act of applying makeup might relax her mind, allowing her creative juices to flow for storytelling. Also, she might be sharing her stories with someone who is present while she does her makeup, like a friend or a family member, as a way to bond or entertain.
One horror story is about a girl who was putting on mascara while driving. She took her eyes off the road for just a second to check her lashes in the mirror. In that moment, the car in front of her suddenly stopped. She couldn't brake in time and crashed into it. It was a minor accident but could have been much worse.
It could be quite fun and engaging. She might get more confident as she shares her tales while enhancing her look.
It's quite unique and might be both thrilling and creative. She could combine the spooky tales with the art of makeup to create a captivating and unusual experience.
She could be an artist who uses the time of doing makeup as an opportunity to tell creative stories, perhaps inspired by the colors and products she's using. For example, she might tell a story about a fairy - like transformation while applying glittery eyeshadow, as if she's creating a magical look that goes along with the story.
One challenge is keeping the story flowing smoothly. You might get so focused on the makeup that you forget what you were going to say next in the story. Another is making sure the makeup looks good while you're doing it quickly. If you rush the makeup, it might end up looking messy instead of spooky.
Well, you need to plan ahead. Decide on the overall look you want to achieve with the makeup based on the scary story. For instance, if it's a zombie story, you know you'll need some fake blood and grayish skin tone. Another important tip is to keep your audience in mind. If they are younger, you might want to use less intense makeup. And don't forget to have good lighting so that your makeup can be clearly seen as you tell the story.
Well, one tip is to choose a simple makeup routine. For example, a smoky eye look can be done quickly. As for the scary stories, keep your voice low and mysterious. This will add to the spooky atmosphere while you're applying makeup.
Another danger is the loss of control of the vehicle. When you're reaching for makeup products or adjusting your mirror to see your face better, you can accidentally hit the steering wheel or pedals. I remember a story where a girl hit the accelerator instead of the brake while trying to put on powder. It could have been a catastrophe. Also, in case of an emergency, your reaction time is severely affected when you're occupied with makeup. You won't be able to react quickly enough to avoid a collision.
One benefit is that it can boost her creativity. She gets to combine two different forms of expression, makeup and storytelling.
