Last night I watched the documentary Katie Piper's Face to Face, where people with visible skin conditions gave make overs to people with the same skin condition.
I thought it was a really interesting, emotional insight into the relationship between skin conditions and make up/cover up creams.
BIO:
Notes:
People with melasma, scarring, vitiligo, rosacea and birthmarks take part
Vitiligo:
- Make up is friend to call on, but never dependent on
- 'I can put my make up on and embrace myself'
- happy in herself, time to wear makeup?
- 'The biggest part is accepting the reality you have it'
- Discovering new white patches every day
- Used to enhance
- 'I still feel like myself'
- After make-over, talked about how their features are beautiful
- 'Make up is my perfect mask to make me happy'
- Confidence shrinks without make up
- 'you never know what's under someone's clothes or make up
- 'try to love my spots'
Port wine stain (birthmark):
- 'I want to look natural'
- 'When I look in the mirror, all I see is my birthmark'
- To avoid people looking and pointing
- 'Do what makes you feel good'
- Versatility of two looks
Rosacea:
- Relapsing condition
- Spots under the skin, pimples, bubbles, purple
- 'Doesn't always have to be about the skin condition'
- All relative
- How it affects your quality of life
- 'It will give me the confidence to succeed'
- Wearing make up will 'give me control'
- 'It's about choice'
Because of this research, I want to ensure I include elements of text concerning emotional wellbeing and confidence within my packaging.
