So tonight
I witnessed the most amazing moment that makes me feel like maybe our society isn’t heading towards the toilet
I was at sephora, procrastinating because law school, and two boys we’re sitting at the makeup counter. Honestly, I can’t help that I started eavesdropping which I swatched the fenty foundation shades but I’m happy I did.
One boy started talking about how he had pimples and wanted to cover them up and the other started joking about how his skin was still nice.
They couldn’t have been more then 12, I swear
Well one of the makeup ladies wandered over to make sure they didn’t break anything and the boy asked what he could use to fix his pimples. Without missing a beat, the girl just was like “Foundation would do the trick! Would you like to try some?” And he nodded sorta surprised.
Two minutes later, she shows up with a CC cream and gave him a sample size amount and a sponge. She gave him a brief tutorial on how to use it and told him to come find her if he needed anything. Those two boys sat in the mirror and put on that makeup for the next 10 minutes. Not once did they harass each other for wanting to wear makeup, what so ever
Then three little girls came, who clearly were their friends and asked them what they were doing. Pretty confidently, the two boys started talking about how they were trying to hide this one kids acne. The girls immediately were like, “Here, let me show you how to blend the edges” and “my mom taught me how to put on powder the other day.” They goofed off with lip glosses and had the make up artists help them clean up afterwards.
It was incredible.
Wholesome
