I think it was written solely for the movie, anyhow here it is:

"Your face is your portrait, it's you, all they see.
Make it shine, not with oil, but with drive.
Watch the eyes come alive.
You, as me, as us.
A dash of magenta.
Lashes bold, black, and thick.
X-rated gloss. Lips, full, and slick.
Hair frames the portrait, some gilded, some gold.
Color, the secret to not growing old.
We cut, layer and curl.
For a look that is you.
For the hair of a dead girl.
We use model glue.
Lips full, (flush), and dark.
A fine line that traces a deep, crimson heart.
Rest now, sweetness, till the day all shall see...
The beauty we molded from sheer misery."

In love you can't bring on a substitute.
