foundation, highlighter.
concealer, eyeliner.
eyebrow pencil, lipstick, blush.
teasing, hairspray.
a dress ill never wear again.
shoes only for the occasion.

look in the mirror
beauty?
step closer till your hands touch the glass
who am i?

a shell, a salon doll stares at me
powdered, pigmented will
paint covering flaws they think
augmented, beautiful, just for a night
