Beauty blogger Lex Gillies posted an empowering and revealing photo on Instagram this week.
Gillies, an award-winning blogger from the UK, posted the photo that showed one side of her face covered in make-up and the other side bare, revealing severe rosacea.
“Every single time I take a photo of my bare skin I am still shocked, because this is not how I picture myself. When I imagine my face, I think of the girl on the right: happy, comfortable, wearing an amazing lipstick that screams confidence. So when I see the girl on the left, it’s jarring. And it makes me upset,” Gillies wrote.
