nail polish
a protective cover
lipstick
makes you a lover
rouge
gives a blushing glow
hair dye
makes the highlights show

eyeliner
a defining outline
lip gloss
a shimmering glaze
glitter
adds much-needed sparkle
mascara
partakes mystique

dolled-up:
a fixture to dream of
stood on the carpet
posed on the street
glamourous:
a cover girl's cover girl
snapped up for the agency
taking off as a personality

sashay
with a little help from almay
click-clack
with a little help from MAC
unique
with a little help from clinique
ethereal
with a little help from l'oreal

clear skin
finer than porcelain
shiny nails
sharp as knives
full lips
plusher than rose hips
fluttering wink
faster than you think.
