Video / When make-up increases self-confidence: the story of Cheri, who suffers from vitiligo
This video shows the courage and strength of a woman, Cheri Lindsay, who suffers from vitiligo, a rare skin disease that changes the pigmentation of the skin and lightens it over time. It is the same disease that was diagnosed to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, in 1986.
Although there are methods to disguise this disease, such as the use of professional make-up, Cheri is tired of hiding behind the make-up and has decided to show herself in front of a camera as it is, without hesitation and without fear.
"My name is Cheri, this is my" Camo Confession ". I work as an assistant to a" college volleyball team coach. " I have vitiligo, a skin disease. My vitiligo started when I started college, and it all happened in just 3 years. I was shocked at how quickly it manifested. It's not an easy thing to live with. ask me Does it hurt? No. Is it contagious? Absolutely no. Can I live with it and be successful? Absolutely yes"
Cheri continues, recounting her experience and explaining what prompted her to make this video with Dermablend Professional (which is America's # 1 professional brand for covering acne scars, tattoos or skin pigmentation problems).
"I chose to find an" alternative and use make-up to make people see beyond appearances, and to judge me for who I am, to go beyond the initial shock. But don't hide. There is something wrong with each of us, no one is 100% perfect. That's why I decided to make this video. To share my story, get involved, let me see myself for who I am. And now I ask you too . Do the same. Don't be afraid to be yourself. "
