The Secret To Good Makeup….

“The secret to good makeup is not over doing it” says Madelyn to herself while applying her “makeup” the other day.

Those wise words were apparently spoken by Ruby of “Max and Ruby” fame.

Truer words (in regards to makeup) have never been spoken.

“I have a wonderful make-up crew. They’re the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty.” ~Bob Hope

“I will not retire while I’ve still got my legs and my make-up box.” ~Bette Davis

“Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don’t rush; otherwise you’ll look like a patchwork quilt.” ~Lucille Ball

“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.” ~Albert Einstein

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

haha! Looks like she had lots of fun. My son likes to steal my make-up brush… I just don't let him near my eyeshadow- haha.

Love it! What a cutie

Madelyn made my day! Soooo cute:) The pictures were adorable of her. You have another girlie girl on you hands. Just think of all the makeup you all will be buying when those girls grow up:):)

She actually did a pretty good job. A little over the top, but I think she has some skill!

This definitely did make me laugh today. Thank you, Madelyn. I do have to say she *is* in stiff competition with my friend's surprise baby ducks for the cutest pics of the day.

Thank you Sarah! These kinds of posts are fun to write and I don't labor over them like some of my other posts.

I know, right? I was impressed. She's still learning you know….;oD Next we're going to try mascara! ;o)

I know! I'll be buying makeup for me because they will be using mine all the time! That is, if my makeup is still considered “cool”.

Thank you! I sure think so

Lots of fun was had by all-lol. My oldest daughter got into my eyeliner once. She actually did a decent job of trying to stay in her eye area with it.

That's too funny! Other than wanting to put on chapstick all the time, Garrett has surprisingly shown zero interest in my makeup. I'm sure Keith would have a heart attack, if he did, so that's probably a good thing.
