On January 18, 1952, David Milne wrote the following entry in his diary: "Painted the lip-stick one again. Still improving, better organized, less confusion. Two figures, angels. One looking in the mirror of a compact after using lipstick. The other just lighting, curious about some cosmetic gadget in front of her. Three other angels across the top, getting interested. Rather bright coloured, with warm gray bands on each side of the figures, a very open composition."
