Makeup

Hi,

Here the idea is parallel between the makeup of the woman and the makeup of a picture... or how when a woman washes her makeup in the night, all becomes desaturated.

Hi Cedric
sorry, maybe it's Sunday afternoon brain lazzyness, but I don't get the parallel between the makeup of the woman and the makeup of a picture…
Can you explain further? Thanks!

"Makeup" - Cedric Massoulier

Nicolas,

Cedric, of course has to present his parallel. I can just provide for those whose use of English is not as fluent as ours, something of what "makeup" might mean.

Makeup here, prepares the woman for the outside world. It's a mask to be put on in the morning and removed at night before sleep. When waking up, a woman is born, unmasked. She has to face her self in the mirror. So it's a time of truthfulness. At night it's a reluctant return to that state as the skin is asked to recover and breath free again.

Makeup?

Makeup time: when one went to the dentist in the morning and stays later so as to not have wages cut!

Makeup sex: Great! After an big argument or a separation! Worth fighting for!

Makup makeup: you know the layer of powder and paint that hides with a layer of more attractive design.

Makeup of a committee/community: the distribution of elements of the stakeholders, talent, experience of those who lead and give and those who take and consume.

Makeup of a work of art: Elements of physical composition of arrangement, materials and references to what we know, suspect and might imagine.

These are just some of my ideas. There's certainly a lot of richness to reference in the sight of removal of makeup and revealing one's true self in the mirror. In the construction of the picture, the photographer reveals the face of the model so there is an unidentified woman on the right and a woman going back to her identity on the left.
