When the Makeup Comes Off

Mia Winhertt

When the makeup comes off,
What do I see?
What I like
Or everything that worries me?

That bright stain of colour
On my lips
When wiped off
Exposing the natural tint.

That blush of liveliness
On my cheeks
When washed away
Exposing the real skin.

That dash of deep kohl
On my eyes
When removed
Exposing true simplicity.

Frankly, when the makeup comes off,
I see the real I,
And I like her,
In spite of everything that worries me.

Because I live with her,
Instead of focusing on faults,
I choose to appreciate her
And she glows back at me.

      2. Nothing wrong at all with makeup, especially when it gives us a confidence boost!
        As for your wrinkles, think of them as badges of honour time has been kind to give you. You’re lucky to have made it so far & I hope you go on to get many, many more! 🤗

      3. True. I do believe it’s mostly meant to accentuate or highlight one’s features and not alter one’s face to the point one becomes unrecognisable 😁

        Exactly! I shall wrinkle on and hope I age well ☺️🤗
