sinead’s master list of basic makeup tips for those starting out:
- lips + mascara will do a lot to pull a look together if you wanna go simple to start
- if you hold your jaw open while you apply eye makeup, your eyes will be held a decent bit more still

We've done such a disservice to so many people by only portraying trauma as PTSD experienced by armed combatants. The number of traumatised people that I've had to explain to that childhood emotional neglect is one of the most damaging ways you can be traumatised is just, way too high
