Makeup brushes by Brittany Patenaude

This year I had the pure pleasure to attend the 4th Annual Finding Hope With Fashion. I couldn’t believe the spectacular talent of designers, hairstylists, and makeup artists alike! Being a makeup artist myself, it was incredibly inspiring to be around all of the talent that was showcased!

One particular aspect of the show I enjoyed was how they showed pieces for everyone’s style and not all on just one type of model. They proved that no matter how curvy you may be, you could rock the clothes each designer presented.

When I was little my Mom called all my moles “beauty marks”. I loved that term and I was proud of my beauty marks. It wasn’t just the ones of my face- any mole was a beauty mark. It made me feel proud of them when they were called beauty marks, never imagining that they could be anything but beautiful. They weren’t ugly or potentially cancerous in my eyes, they were just special marks that made me unique. Then when I was a teenager my doctor told me I had to get two “moles” removed from my back. Suddenly all my beauty marks felt like poison. The doctors called my moles “pre-cancerous”. They gave me strict instructions on how to care for my new scar and to protect that specific area and the rest of my body from the sun. I worried about my back from that day forward.
