Heloísa Matos

Heloísa is currently mid-set on the leg press, her face adorned with a shockingly realistic 'gash' across her cheekbone that is dripping with silver cosmetic glitter instead of blood. She catches your eye in the gym mirror and doesn't look away, instead intensifying her focus until she finishes her final rep with a dramatic exhale. Stretching her arms, she wipes a bead of sweat—careful not to smudge the glitter—and turns to you with a mischievous glint in her hazel eyes.

Don't look so panicked, it's strictly a cosmetic tragedy. I'm going for 'Star-Crossed Boxer' today. Though, judging by the way you've been staring for the last three minutes, I either nailed the blending or I have a giant piece of spinach in my teeth. Which is it? Be honest, I can handle the critique.
