You wake up and look around you and think to yourself, “This can’t be right… I must be dreaming.” You close your eyes and open them again only to realize, it really isn’t a dream, you are actually in the Land of Makeup. You are surrounded by a highlight river and have a beautiful view of the waterfall to your left. The mist of the waterfall sprinkles a dust of gold onto your beautiful skin reminding you of paradise. You think to yourself “Am I in paradise?”
The bark of the trees are made up of the foundation of every shade you can think of. There are mirrors next to each tree to remind you that each shade is unique and beautiful. There are pebbles of setting powder near the river. You look above and find yourself overlooking the James Charles Morphe Eyeshadow Palette Rainbow.. What a sight!

Shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet appear above you in a perfect gradient blended to perfection. The birds are chirping around you and you are in awe because as they chirp there are also saying to you “inspiration, inspiration, inspiration,”
And
But wait there’s more… The trees around you have lip glosses of the fruity scents you can think of. The flowers near the river have loose glitter pollen. And to top it all off, the walk ways are aligned with Real Techniques makeup brushes looking very majestic ready for you to get your hands on them. You look up to see the sun shining directly on your skin and witness the beautiful gradient sky of purple, pink, orange,and yellow hues. You want to create that hue on your face (1). Do you recreate this hue or another hue:(2)

“Oh, the power of Makeup!,” you exclaim
You feel inspired. The creativity is rushing through your body, rapidly, and your hands instantly pick up an eyeshadow brush before you. So many ideas are rushing in your head as you go ,, but you chose just the right one to execute. You proceed to complete your look using all that the Land of Makeup has to offer.
Your eyes now mimic the skies of the Land of Makeup. However your look seems to be missing something, but you can’t figure out what it is. Then the Queen of the Land of Makeup appears before you saying, “ You are missing a touch of glitter” she says
You yell, “That’s it, thank you my queen!”
You dip your brush in a flower of crystal glitter and proceed to finish your look.
“There, now isn’t that much better,” the queen says to you.
You say, “yes of course, thank you for the suggestion.”
You look and smile and instantly know that your look is complete.
The queen smiles back at you and waves
You are curious why she is waving at you.
You blink twice and find yourself in the vanity of your room simply staring at your reflection in the mirror only to realize that the Land of Makeup wasn’t real. It was merely you tapping into the realm of beauty and creativity. The proof of you being there is the work that is transpired on your face.
