I've had at least one person contact me about this poem because they were concerned about who this poem was about.
"makeup", like many other poems is only a picture, not a portrait. It describes a girl overcome by image to the point of losing identity. This is not about a specific person. As insulting as it would be if it were, I wouldn't have posted it if it were about a specific person. I can see where there would be confusion considering some of the language used, but the narrator in this one is NOT me. It's a voice that tells the story.
