twist. Go-go Amy delves into the elusive techiques of vintage makeup:
She brings new hope to all of us who attempted a '40s diva cat eye or a

generated by uncooperative pencils and eye-liner from hell. Rediscover
simplicity: "This is how grandma did it, and grandma was always right."

girl facial expressions.
