I guess you're right. [She takes a look at her own reflection, turning her head this way and that.] If I started small, maybe I could find something I like.
[Keep it to the lips and the eyes, perhaps. She's worried the powder might cake in unflattering ways over the raised skin.]

Well. They look lovely on you, truly. I don't know how much I could do now with all of these.
[She points to the many scars scraped across her face, neck. Most everywhere really.]

You can do as little or as much as you want.
