She’s the queen of eyeshadow
using colours that blend perfectly
making her eyes look bigger and brighter
full of life and excitement
The deception is never lost on her –
she knows it’s only make-believe
She’s the queen of eyeshadow
proficient at shading and contours
The right flick of eyeliner can do wonders
to fool the casual observer or admirer –
she paints with a steady experienced hand
She’s the queen of eyeshadow
a specialist at painting her sad eyes
creating an appearance that’s pleasingly fake –
she’s the queen
of covering up shadows

Oh thanks John. It’s a bit of a different approach for me, so your thoughts are rather encouraging. I wasn’t entirely sure how this would be received. Sometimes you just have to go for it 👍
