War Paint Quotes

“You can try to dirty my name, but I'll wear your hate like war paint.”
― Madalyn Beck, Dragon Hearts & Dandelion Fuzz

“I wasn't wearing war paint. But that didn't matter. I didn't need war paint. I was a different person than I had been, back then.”
― Pat Murphy, The Wild Girls

“I called my hairstylist to book an emergency cut and color. Okay, maybe, it's vain, but if I have to drive all the way out to Macon's place by myself and somehow convince him not to press charges, I need to look as good as possible.
So here I am, hair beautifully styled and angled just so around my face with pretty caramel and golden highlights designed to make my nut-brown hair look sun kissed. I went full out at the salon and had my brows shaped and a mani-pedi as well.
Yes, I am guilty of primping, but it's not vanity; it's war paint. One does not go into battle without armor. To that end, I put on my favorite short-sleeve cream knit top that clings in all the good places but flows around my less desirable spots and an ink-blue skirt that hugs my hips and gently flares around my knees.
Maybe it's overkill, but at least I look put together yet no nonsense. Unflappable. Professional.”
― Kristen Callihan, Dear Enemy
