This is an imaginary conversation I had with Laura Mercier, creator of the Laura Mercier Gold Digger Collection (lauramercier.com):

Angelique: I love gold. Gold jewelry, gold Gummy Bears…
Laura Mercier: Me too. Why do you think I added the shade to every product in this collection?
Angelique: You know what my favorite piece is? The Eye Colour Pots, with the cream on one side and shimmery powder on the other. The smoky eye it creates is something fierce. But I don’t use the brush to apply it; I just use my fingers.
Laura Mercier: Why don’t you use the brush?
Angelique: Ummm…I don’t know, Ms. Mercier. I think I can blend the cream better with my fingers. And I like getting my fingertips all smudgy and pretending I was just booked and fingerprinted at the precinct downtown for a petty crime – nothing serious.
Laura Mercier: I do that, too! Only I pretend I was busted for being the fiercest makeup creator ever. But they never make me do time.
Angelique: I guess that’s just how we roll.
