HOLIDAY WISH

Makeup up for Melinda to feel more beautiful.

Posted Dec 14, 2024
Melinda is really hoping to get some makeup for the holidays. She’s never had the chance to shop for makeup on her own and would love to feel beautiful. She admires the makeup artists she finds online and can’t wait to pick up some beauty tips from them. It would be a dream come true for her to visit Sephora and get foundation, mascara, and eyeliner!

Melinda is 15 years old and lives in CA

Melinda is a sweet young girl who has had a difficult year. However, she has finally found a stable home and is currently in foster care. This year, she has moved three times, which has caused her to fall behind in school due to the disruptions and gaps in her education. Despite these challenges, Melinda is determined to get back on track. She aspires to become a social worker when she grows up so that she can help children like herself feel safe and supported.

Awesome Human grants the wish for Melinda! Thanks Awesome Human.

"Melinda, I started wearing makeup around your age too, and it was so much fun. I hope you use this to try lots of fun and beautiful looks. But always remember these three things: 1. Makeup is to help make YOU feel beautiful- not to convince anyone that you're beautiful. 2. Makeup is hard! Don't get discouraged if things don't look the way you wanted them to right away. I'm 24 and still figuring it out. 3. Waterproof mascara lasts all day... just sayin "
