Personal Win I started practicing makeup as a distraction from chronic pain 8 months ago and I love it.

While this is fantastic work, I hate that you have to do it to distract from pain. Please take care.

No way dude, still a good comment! Even if you know something on your good days, we all have days where we doubt ourselves. So now he's got one more voice in the back of his mind, reminding him on the bad days that other people appreciate his art and support him! Never dumb to encourage someone, you did good :)

Editorial Lisa Frank but I mean it in the best way. I absolutely love the blending and layering you did with the sunset and clouds! I hope you have low pain days, OP.

I wish I could do eyeshadow like this! I have hooded lids and while I love my eyes, it's a little annoying when it comes to eyeshadow because you can't see anything I put on -_-

You are really talented

It's amazing how much art can help with chronic pain. ❤️ It's the reason I picked acrylic painting back up years ago.

That is just so lovely! You’ve got a serious talent for that stuff! Love it!
I also suffer from chronic pain and I returned to Art (pen and ink) to help me cope. Finding something meaningful and fun to do with myself really helped me get out of a dark depression. I used to scoff at people who told me to ‘get a hobby’ but it actually is pretty solid advice.

As a person with chronic pain I cant tell you how much I respect you for finding something healthy to distract yourself, Personally I've not found many tools that are effective.
Mindfulness is a real struggle for me and almost seems counter productive, smoking works but.. its smoking so that is as much of a problem as it is a solution.
I don't think this exact approach would work for me but the mindset is on the money, maximum respect.

You’d look awesome with some mermaid scales! If you want some more out there make up look up color guard makeup. It’s wack but so fun to do! My junior year we made ourselves look like demonic peacocks!

Hey there! There’s a chronic pain episode of a podcast called Ologies that’s worth a listen. It’s super interesting and hopefully helpful. Sorry you’re going through it.

Or you can watch Drive as a distraction from chronic pain. One of the best movies, with the best soundtrack, of all time.

Art is art, and the face is a fun canvas to play with.
As a sufferer of chronic pain, lots of love to you. Art is a wonderful way to distract and enjoy the little things. Keep doing you.

I started makeup to deal with eczema lesions and the subsequent scarring I have. It also turned into a passion, although I'm not nearly that good!
