Watching the whole exchange, I’m overcome by a memory. “Use three dots,” I suggest to Esther. She hovers her fingertip just over Breine’s cheek. “Three dots?” “My aunt Maja always told me: one dot of rouge lined up below the pupil, one about two centimeters lower, in line with the tip of the nose, and a third high on the cheekbone. You make a triangle with three dots, and then blend in between for the most flattering appearance.” I laugh. “I can’t believe I suddenly remembered that.” “We’ll do three!”
