And should I ever be transferred to compose a catchy tune about creams (because I’d have to compose a like tune about cream, obvs!), I would have to devote a verse to exactly how cream eyeshadow as well as blush look on skin — like you’re using makeup, however not the heavy, powdery obvious kind. (The second verse would be devoted to blending with your fingers, as well as the chorus would be all about exactly how much creams like dry skin.)
Anyway, that’s my plan as well as I’m stickin’ to it.
