Remodeling

Get out your sponges, stippling brushes and pens, It’s time for makeover-Monday-night to begin. Think Winky Lux, L’Oréal, Urban Decay, Maybelline, Armani and Fabergé It’s a black magic realm where brushes are wands, where a carnival of colors are carefully crayoned. We have palettes aplenty, in kaleidoscope hues, to create fashion looks, both bold and subdued. In the realm of makeup fashion, where trends never end, we remodel each other - for fun - when we can. Tonight, our new friend Jammie has come to watch us play, and he even brought two bottles of chardonnay. Lisa has a ‘Miss Rose’ case, like she saw in Bernadette Peters’ dressing room, on a backstage tour of Broadway’s Shubert Theatre. Konjac, Kabuki, Doe foots, Spoolie, Lisa’s got legit tools to use. “When it comes to makeup,” she says, “always avoid dupes.” That night I was the chosen face, the excited living canvas. Lisa’s a practiced artist, her process is brisk and never tedious. She painted my lips a crimson cherry, alluring and brightly sensuous, my brows were moonlit art, my cheeks a midnight adumbrated edifice. Lisa created a special look, where rebellious edge met elegance. We took some snaps, then I washed it off - but Jammie was impressed! . . Webster: Adumbrate: “to partially outline and obscure” Slang: “dupes” are off-brand knockoffs of famous luxury brands
