QuoteWhen Florida makeup artist Joey Killmeyer received his certification in lessons at MAC cosmetics, he certainly didn?t think his first client would be an 8-year-old boy.
But when little Ethan came in declaring he wanted to learn about drag makeup, Killmeyer thought it was ?truly meant to be.?
?It shows me the world is changing from when I was his age and that there is hope for kids who are different,? the makeup artist shared under a photo on his Facebook page.
Killmeyer shared that he did one half of Ethan?s face, and the boy finished the other half with the lessons he had just been taught.
?I posted the story because I feel Ethan?s mom is a hero. She is letting him discover who he is. Whatever that may be,? he said.
You can read his full story about the makeup tutorial below.
QuoteA couple weeks ago I got my certification in lessons for MAC. Today I got to do my first one. I was not originally scheduled today but was filling in. This is Ethan, he is 8. He wanted to learn drag makeup. He loves Jeffree Starr. His mom is so supportive of him and is letting him discover who he is. I did one side of his face and he did the other. He did soooo great. He is a very talented guy. And I expect he will be a great artist in life. But I was so touched that his mom said I gave him confidence in letting him be himself. And it truly was meant to be that I worked today. It shows me the world is changing from when I was his age and that there is hope for kids who are different. And whether he is gay or not who knows. But I really respect the mom who is letting him be himself and discover who he is and what he wants to do in life. Please share if you like. Spread the message of acceptance. xoxo
