My very first customer at MAC was a dv victim. I covered her black eyes and bruises for years. MAC was the only place he’d let her go other than work bc he knew she had to get the marks covered. I became her safe space until she stopped coming. Saw a couple years later on ig, he took her life. So over the years managing makeup stores and as a manager at another makeup store now, I teach my staff grace. You don’t know what’s going on, take your time with ppl.

How are you so emotionally intelligent? And you understand sensory overload. Not all heroes wear capes.

for all its simplicity, "and now we can?" was seriously the most thoughtful reply you could have given I think. she probably really needed to hear that.

The first time I was “allowed” to spend my own money, I went to Walmart and bought pens. I cried in the aisle, and it was the most freeing moment of my divorce. You changed her life that day. ❤️

Worked at a make up store, had a woman come in with a black eye she wanted to cover up. I thought I might know the reason but just did my job. Covered it up, got her set up with a color corrector and foundation and when I asked her if she needed anything else she said ‘a new boyfriend’. Had to go sit in the back and cry for about 10 minutes.

I thought this was normal. My sister and my cousin were not allowed to wear makeup when we lived back home. 🥺

I am a dental hygienist and I’ve had a woman tell me her husband wouldn’t allow her to get her teeth cleaned because “she didn’t need it.” She DID in fact need them cleaned very much! Theres a lot of abu$e that is not just physical. Financial and medical is at the forefront.

When I heard “I’ve never been allowed to wear makeup” I immediately thought it could have been a man or religion that told her that.
