There's something rather celestial about the word cosmetologist, something that wants to put it in the same league as astronaut, astronomer and astrologer. But it's a good word, and more beauticians and makeup artists should use it, perhaps with appropriate punnery on their business cards:
Want to look like a star?
Want to be a Big Bang on your Big Day?

So I asked the consultant: is there a brand of mascara that your infernal eye-drops don't dissolve, leaving me looking like an insomniac zombie? And you know something? He had no idea. Not a clue.
ReplyDeleteIt took me twenty five years to find the right stuff - in an article written by a cosmetologist.
And, you know what? It's so nice not to have people running away screaming at the sight of me that I don't care if she WAS called Tracy.
There you go - your cosmetologist was indeed a highly qualified professional (a genuine star, if you will).
DeleteCosmetology is a great career option.
