[The video that suddenly pops up shows part of a tree and a bit of grass at first. Then a large Spheal fills the picture.

A Spheal in smoky eye shadow and as much lips as Lust managed to draw on with liner and lipstick. He looks immensely pleased with himself, and greets the viewing audience at large with a long, low, happy sounding 'spheeeaaaaaal' as he shows off the fancy face paint his trainer has been kind enough to let him wear again.

It takes all of a handful of seconds before Lust realizes what Guttle's up to, and she rushes in to grab her gear. She image shifts and wobbles for a moment before Lust's own face is visible.]

Guttle, what are you doing? Is this on?

[Yes. Yes it is. Her gaze shifts off screen, to give Guttle an exasperated look.]

And broadcasting to everyone, I see. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[Back to the screen.]

Don't anyone encourage him.

Why not? The eye shadow's effect is lovely. He'd only need some mascara and carefully-selected blush...

[This is apparently Makeup For Men Day.]

Because I don't want to put it on him every morning, that's all.

I'm not going to deny he looks good in it.

I'm going to try and teach one of the others to do it for him, instead.

Ah, I can see why that could be troublesome, especially as he has no opposable thumbs or even hands. Still, if you intend to select one of your Pokémon as your team's makeup artist, I'd suggest teaching it all the subleties of the color wheel first.

[Speaking from experience here.]

I only have the same colors.

Maybe I should look into something new, when I'm back in town.

You certainly should, for both yourself and your Spheal. A little variety can lead to striking results, and I've no doubt your Spheal would appreciate shades selected with his coloring in mind.

I've never worn any other colors.

He can pick out whatever he likes, if it makes him happy.

...Never? You somehow managed to find a fitting and elegant color combination on your first attempt, without making comparisons with other sets?

I never had to try and attempt it myself. I was given what I needed and shown what to do with it.

[Her master had taken care of all of that, and Lust had never bothered to diverge from it.]

You must have had a very experienced teacher, to determine what colors would suit you so easily... All the color and shape variations for Pokémon make attempting that in this world much more difficult.

My teacher was very experienced in using cosmetics.

[Hundreds of years, dozens of aging bodies and of course that flesh rot that came upon her had likely made the woman some sort of expert. And of course, there had been another 'Lust', before her, and almost all homunculi had similar coloring. But Lust doesn't like thinking about that.]

I'd honestly never thought to try using makeup on one before I needed a model to demonstrate on.

Your model certainly seems happy you chose him, though I have to wonder why you selected the... blue ball of fat. A more humanoid face would have made the demonstration easier.

None of my Pokemon have anything near a human face. [Her other options were a prickly Glameow, a Jigglypuff, and a Sharpedo. Which wasn't really an option at all.]

And he possesses the most agreeable nature.

...I can easily see how that would be the most important criterion in this situation.

[Especially considering the number of teeth-related attacks out there.]

I'd rather not end up fighting my own Pokemon.

It's a waste of time, energy, and perfectly good skin and bones.
