Painting My Face Like A Canvas Poem by Paula Glynn

I paint my lips like a canvas
From deep berries, true reds
Orange reds, corals,
Peaches, pale pinks
Deeper shades of pinks
Bronzes, coffees
And deep chocolate shades
Colours staying put
After late night drinks
And in the morning I sit
In front of my vanity mirror
Admiring my gorgeous face
Smoothing lipstick
Across these fashionable lips

I paint my eyes like a canvas
From bronze, greys
Blues, purples and blacks
The smokey look
To be featured in magazines
A dramatic look true makeup art
Blending colours with a makeup brush
Eyeliner also used with care
For statement eyes
For people to be in awe
As they admire and stare

I paint my face like a canvas
Using skin matching foundation
That blends easily into my skin
My skin soft like shea butter
A beauty blender smoothing
My sun woken skin
And reapplied at night
To add bronzer on my cheeks
For that vibrant summer glow
Throughout the year

Painting my face like a canvas
Always important to me
For Looking my best
Throughout my long life
Matters to the soul
Matters to the self esteem
Matters to the reputation
Matters to the heart

For my beautifully made-up face
Shall always be a fashionable
Work of timeless art.
