{This may bore some of you who already know this.} My cute sister-in-law / graphic art student Maddie never wears makeup. She doesn't really need to. But one day she wore just mascara and we could not compliment her enough! Her hair was blonder, her skin seemed tanner, her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were brighter. Then she told us why she thought that was. When painting a portrait, you have to have two elements: Black and bright color. They compliment and enhance each other. Since she has blue eyes and pink cheeks, all she needed to add was black (mascara). I thought that was funny since I wear bright pink blush if I only have time for one thing. My face is full of black! And if I wear just mascara, I look like a raccoon. The next time we have family pictures, I'm going to wear my pink blush - I love liquid 'cause it makes my cheeks shiny - and bright pink lipstick. We'll see if I look like a clown.
