Red and purple hair. Green cheeks. Black lips. Yellow eyes. Julie thinks she looks like a movie star.In Makeup Mess, Julie is determined to be BEEEEEEAUTIFUL. She saves every penny — and raids her little brother's piggy bank for good measure — to buy every colour of makeup she can find. The result, in her opinion, is stunning. Her mother screams. Her father faints. It's not until Julie comes downstairs in her "regular face" that everyone agrees: she was beautiful all along.Why You'll Love ItOnly Munsch could deliver a message about inner beauty this effectively — through sheer, glorious chaos. Julie's confidence is hilarious and completely endearing, and the parental reactions are peak Munsch. Kids will laugh all the way through and quietly absorb the best part: you don't need any of it.
