Helena gained another slight blush once Deena agreed she was enjoying the conversation.  "You also do makeup, right?  How's business with that?"  She knew there weren't many balls and parties in the castle recently, so that meant Deena wasn't being hired.  "You did your own makeup, huh?  It looks really good," she complimented and laughed, "I couldn't do my own makeup in a million years."  There was no doubt Deena was beautiful with the makeup, but Helena was curious about her natural looks too.  The vampire didn't doubt Deena was beautiful, her easygoing personality exuded a certain brightness from her.  It surprised Helena that men weren't running through to the backstage, trying to swoop up the vampire before anyone else could.
