“‎Lipstick is really magical. It holds more than a waxy bit of color — it holds the promise of a brilliant smile, a brilliant day, both literally and figuratively.” ― Roberta Gately

I am faithfully in love with bright lipsticks, lip gloss, eye shadow, and other brilliant makeup colors. They bring me daily joy, a promise for a beautiful day, and the confidence to face it.

Every month, my makeup lady surprises me with fantastical shades and ways to feel bright and cheery.

More than a saleslady, she is my friend. A beautiful woman in her seventies, she wears her bright red hair with style. I look to her for guidance on how to live a life of celebration.

Yesterday, I saw her and came home glowing with a new shade of sparkly berry lip gloss. As I put it in today, I smiled.

I don’t wear all my makeup every day, but I always put on a bright shade of lipstick. It whispers to me: “You’ve got this. Go out and shine!”

Today I appreciate my makeup lady for being herself. By radiating her outer and inner beauty, she taught me to sparkle in my words and heart.
