Posted at 11:30h, 21 DecemberI fell in love with makeup at quite an early age. My Aunt Carmen was just a few years older than I was and my favorite thing that we would do was play “makeup”. She would pull out her Mary Quant pots, the colors fascinated me! They we so enticing, and she would put makeup on me, then she would do my nails as well as hers. While my polish was drying, she would apply her own cosmetics while she was getting ready for a date or a party. We had so much fun, and that was when I fell in love with cosmetics. These are some of my favorite childhood memories. My Aunt Carmen started the makeup monster in me, and I am so glad she did! I see I am showing my age, and we did full on Mod looks like Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, and Edie Sedgewick. False eyelashes and short bouffants, and the look went quite well with my white Go-Go boots that I had to have because Nancy Sinatra had a pair.
