Makeup Look In Honor Of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

 

Hello my loves!

To the surprise of many, October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's also Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

"The cycle of abuse ends with awareness."

After years and years of silence and indifference, it's great to see that our country is becoming more aware of what domestic violence is, and how it can affect any and every one.

I did this makeup look in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Purple is the official color associated with DVAM, so I used mostly that color for this look.
