their beauty is decaying.

slowly, but surely.

so, to hide the gentle rotting of what was once fiercely alive, they use make-up.*

foundation, to fill in the cracks of their broken lives. mascara, (waterproof), for when the 3am blues hit. eyeliner, to emphasise the hate they carry for the world, (making sure the wing is sharp enough to hurt). lipstick, to paint some life onto their corpse-like faces.

they use all of this to conceal the fact that their youth is gone. the today girls were just too sad, too young.
