Introduction: My Makeup Philosophy

I perceive makeup as modern warpaint; it transforms the wearer, bestowing strength, confidence, and fearlessness.  Is it a mask?  Of course, but what is wrong with that?  Many warriors past wore masks into battle.

Announce yourself.

The woman looking back from the makeup mirror -- she is a modern day barbarian.
Her makeup isn't about glamour; it's about empowerment.
Like a victorious warrior smearing her face in the blood of her kill,
she lifts her head to the heavens and cries,
"See me!  I am here!"

Announce yourself.

Life is too short to hide behind neutral eyeshadow.  Proclaim yourself -- wear your warpaint boldly.
