When I was a child, the world of makeup was so different. There wasn't the wide range of shades available for darker skin tones like there is now.

Whether you are sixteen or over sixty, remember, understatement is the rule of a fine makeup artist.

I must have been yearning for some Jewish content beyond my genetic makeup because soon after my 21st birthday, I noticed I was no longer dating WASPs.
