Anne had drawn. Green and white and pink eye shadow glowed on her eyelids. Thick gobs of black mascara stuck to her eyelashes. Round red spots

"Yeah, but you look greati" Anne was still hopping around admiring her work. "Let's leave it on and show her."
"No!" Cindy almost shouted. Just then they heard Cindy's brother Matt coming home.
"Hey Matt," yelled Anne. "Come see your gorgeous sister!"
"No, no, no," Cindy pleaded. "Don't let anybody see me."
"Right in here, Matt," called Anne. "Here she is, your sister, the rock star!"
