Oh the wonders of make-up

I took a look at myself in the mirror this morning I almost didn't recognize myself. My face is puffy, my eyes are red and swollen with black under eye circles. I look like I've been in a fight which is true I've been fighting a flare for the last week.

We were asked in my support group if we had a choice of not looking sick or looking sick so more people would be more understanding which one would we choose? I personally would choose not to look sick, though in some situations it probably be easier if I did. But to be honest if I looked as sick as I feel I'd probably scare people. So on the days like today where I do look sickly I am thankful that I have make up. Oh and my sister because on days like today where I can't lift my arms she does my hair and makeup. Not trying to toot my own horn or anything but I've become a pro at covering stuff so that I look like my normal self. It does take more layers than I normally wear but what ever works right?
