The Application of Make Up

The recording of the application of make-up seems to be developing into a theme on this blog and it brought to mind the scene from the BBC shorts drama 'Up In Town', starring Joanna Lumley as Maddison Blakelock, sitting in front of her mirror ruminating on her past as she carefully applies her face before visiting her 'Financial Investment Consultant' at the bank. Watching Lumley carefully construct her appearance in the un-selfconscious way only women who habitually wear make up can apply, suggests that the process of cosmetic application and identity is worthy of further debate.
