muffinLeads #2

1. You’re in school hurrying to your next class, heels wobbling, skirt falling, when you notice a girl walking past. You do not notice her for her excruciatingly drab clothes, nor her blank expression, but for the angelic light radiating from her face. It looks suspiciously like those models you saw in Vogue last night. The skin itself was not shining, but rather, it was glowing. How is that possible? You decide to look it up that night and find that she was probably using a makeup product called Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat, a fancy and expensive highlighter. No, not a neon yellow highlighter, but a reflective foundation that is slightly lighter than your natural skin color that is applied with a brush applicator.
2. Myth: Anyone who wears foundation lighter than their natural skin color will look like a pasty-faced freak. Most uninformed people would disagree to this statement. However, you, my young reader, will become an informed person within a couple of seconds: what makes this myth a myth is the fact that there is such a thing as a highlighter! No, not for your notes, but for everything on your face you want to stand out.
3. Got a flat nose? Chubby cheeks? Is your skin a little too matt? Try a highlighter!

  1. I think the first or second lead would be a good choice, they're longer but they're more interesting and more likely to pull me in.

  2. I like your very last post because it makes a reader such as i, think and wonder what kind of highlighter are you talking about that can help with those issues. it definitely had caught my attention to keep reading.

  3. The first and second leads are really good. Both leads are descriptive and pull the reader in.

  4. I like the third one -- now I'm wondering if I need a highlighter! Just be sure to follow it with a strong thesis so that it's clear how this lead ties into your main idea.
