I spend a good portion of my life teaching women, and sometimes men, (hello, I am from Miami), how to apply makeup.  As a result, I have come up with what I think is a very helpful analogy.

Most of us, at one time or another have had to cook something.  Those that haven’t, have certainly eaten.  Applying makeup is like adding salt to your food. You add a little salt, then have a taste, a little more, have a taste.  Adding too much salt is disastrous.  The outcome is  terrible and it’s virtually impossible to remove.  You’ve basically got to start all over.

The same principle applies to makeup.  Apply a little, have a look, a little more, have a look.  You can always add more.  Taking off too much, however, is not always an easy task. In a great many, if not most, cases it requires that you start all over.

So there it is my friends, the salt analogy.  Hope you find it useful.
