Once upon a time in the land of far far away, one King decided to build a beautiful temple made of pure glass to celebrate his daughter’s birth.

He dreamed of how marvelously the light of the morning sun would shine through the clear temple’s walls, reflecting the beauty of the dawn.

So he sent the best artists to the different parts of his kingdom to capture the picture of a gorgeous sunrise.

Two months later they all returned and the King ordered them to exhibit their paintings in the Great Hall of the castle.

He walked from one painting to another, amazed by all the fascinating shades of pink, red and golden.

He would not find such wonderful colors of delicate rose wine and deep Burgundy, daring Marsala and noble Bordeaux even in his cellar, and the splashes of tart cranberry, juicy pomegranate and raspberry colored sky on the paintings would make the King’s Main Gardener jealous.

It was impossible to choose the picture of the best sunrise.

Indeed avoid any traces of alcohol in your makeup remover solution.

Then gently remove all the makeup and thoroughly wash your face to get rid of leftover residue.
