Makeup!!

I will admit, I am a makeup finatic!! I have a drawer of lipgloss, eyeshadows, and coverup that could probably stock the the beauty section at Walgreens.  Like many girls, I wear makeup to feel better about my appearance.  There have even been times where I have put on makup to go to the gym!! How lame is that?   However, underneath my makeup I have decent skin.  I have redness and the occassional pimples, but I have not had to endure the pain of severe acne like I know many girls have.  This one 19 year old girl has been getting alot of publicity from her series of Youtube videos that teach girls how to apply their makeup.  When you first see her, you would never know that under the perfectly applied makeup, she suffers from severe acne.  I found one video that has gained alot of popularity, where she reveals what her face looks like without makeup to the whole world.  She explains how she has struggled with her insecurities about her skin and how learning to apply makeup has changed her life and has helped her build her self esteem.  This girl is a huge inspiration to me and to girls all around the world.  She has been so open about her battle with acne and how it has taken a huge toll on her self esteem.  It his her goal to help other girls in this world who are dealing with the same  situation and help them overcome their insecurities.  This is the perfect example of how makeup can be a positive tool to help build your confidence.  This is a rather long video, but it is worth watching!!
