Make-up is an intensely personal thing, and truly reflects who we are. When we allow others to do it for us, it denotes trust. Make-up can help us to find our identity. It is an enabler that allows us to discover who we truly are, and express our innermost motivations. In order to make sure we survive and thrive, we must ensure that we are representative of the communities that we wish to serve.
