Popsugar Beauty Beauty News Inside Out Makeup Challenge These Makeup Looks Spotlight Stigmas Surrounding Mental Health Illnesses May 25, 2017 by Emily Orofino First Published: January 23, 2017 View On One Page Photo 6 of 10 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow Today I did #insideoutchallenge that was started by an amazing makeup artist, @lilmoonchildd . The challenge is a visual representation of what you look like on the outside versus how you feel on the inside. It creates a visual of depression, anxiety, ptsd, OCD, or any form of mental struggle people deal with in their lives. . . Right now, the hardest part wasn't creating this, but explaining how it affects my life. I get anxiety in huge crowds of people or when I'm feeling overwhelmed. It's not stress, it's a cage. The feeling of being trapped with all your thoughts that you've been picking apart all day while hoping no one notices. Being upset at yourself for feeling that way. It's the way I shake my hand or my leg when I can no longer keep it inside my head. It's the way I can't catch my breath while I sit on the ground staring off into to space and say things like "I'm just tired, so I think I'm gonna go". It's the feeling of being afraid to ask for help because you put yourself there in the first place, and because when you have asked for help you've gotten responses like "just breath, you're fine" or "hold on a few more minutes, it's not that big of a deal" but to me, it is a big deal. . . I think this challenge is amazing, and a beautiful way to represent what things like this are to people and how different each person is when dealing with it. Don't be afraid to talk about it. They're are people willing to listen and be there. Have a wonderful day everyone, stay beautiful, stay happy, love you all 💗. . . . #insideoutchallenge #trapped #makeup #art #nyxcosmetics #nyxlipstick #jeffreestarcosmetics #skinfrost #princesscut #caged #urbandecay #fullspectrumpalette #talkaboutit #anxiety #depression #onelove #highlight #blueandpink #breakfree A photo posted by Kseniah Pidskalny (@tigger_) on Jan 15, 2017 at 1:24pm PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 6 Previous Next Start Slideshow Beauty NewsMakeupBeauty Influencers
