Read the text carefully and answer the question No. 5 to 9.
I had the great honor of being able to call Kevyn Aucoin, my friend. He was not only a magnificent artist, but more important, a magnificent human being. My older sister, Liza
Minnelli, introduces us in 1991. We instantly hit it off. Kevyn did my make-up for photo shoots with my sister and for the 1993 Tony
Awards.But I will always remember the day we spent together in my bathroom. Kevyn taught me how to do my own make-up. He told me to stop plucking my eyebrows every five minutes
and, as we were finishing, he made a list of what he used. I asked him to come to Bloomingdale‟s with me, fully expecting him to say “No,” but he said he‟d love to and off we
want. By 6.30 p.m., we had shopped our brains out and laughed so much that we were exhausted. I got into a cab and kissed him goodbye.
Over the years, I‟d also buy Allure every month to read his column. His work has truly made make-up as important as fashion.
Spending time with Kevyn was like being hugged. He was an angel and all of us who knew him were lucky.
