Pretty smiles and make-up hide so much...

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."

Marilyn Monroe had the right idea about make-up. It gives us confidence, hides all manner of things, and generally makes us girls feel great. Most of my days are spent putting make-up on others and I love it.

My first blip is a very simple badger hair powder brush. I love my make-up brushes - so much so that I have spent the past hour lovingly cleaning them ready to apply the war paint tomorrow.
