  3. Makeup is a magic carpet indeed!

    "If you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own. " --the makeup artist, Sooner or Later (TV movie)

    Awesome post. Coming to major interest and learning makeup and fashion relatively late in life, it is like play.

  5. A good reminder. Playing is not my forte. It never was and I wish it could be. I think I need a swift kick on the derrière sometimes. Love all the colors and the sense of fun, Poppy! R. x
