“Makeup” by Kimverlee Ann Cadang

“Makeup” by Kimverlee Ann Cadang
February 13, 2020 Nā Leo Literary Review

Brushes that make me feel like Picasso. 

My favorite, the M250-0 brush for precision. 

When my brushes get old and begin to fray, 

I become the weeping woman. 

Eyeliner that’s a pencil to sketch out my design. 

In this case, it isn’t the base of my drawing. 

It usually comes towards the ending for 

A cat eye effect or to make my eyes appear bigger. 

Blush that makes me look younger than I already am. 

To rosy red cheeks or under the sea coral, I have it all. 

The pigment is placed on the apples of your cheeks 

Like the apple you place on your teacher’s desk. 

Makeup is an art that lets 

You express yourself in many ways. 

Whether it’s a bold lipstick or a muted eyeshadow, 

Your options are endless.
