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 the 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!
BLT Marriam Webster word of the day challenge: Adumbrate: “to partially outline and obscure”

Slang: “dupes” are off-brand knock-offs of famous luxury brands

She
Can't impress her with illusions of thicker lashes,
She knew it's the effect of voluminous mascara.
I've got perfect arches, but
She figured out it's the work of pomade and spoolie brush.
My ample lip is of no use,
Cause she discovered there's flattering and versatile stick.
There's blending blush in me,
She marked the use of beauty blender.
I posses subtle glow of skin,
She said I used highlighter.
My extra, squeaky clean hair,
All about clarifying shampoo she noted.
I tried with nice and fluffy hair,
There's volumizing ingredients said she.
I hid so many mistakes and erased errors,
She found out that it was q-tips and wipes dabbed.
