WATCH: Don't Cover it Up Makeup Tutorial...
YouTube makeup tutorial megastar Lauren Luke is working as spokesperson to do a PSA for a group called Refuge, and in the video she's seen giving tips on how to cover up bruises she has from being beaten up. The message of "Don't Cover It Up" is a powerful one and is intended to reach the 65 percent of domestic violence victims who hide their abuse. Luke, 30, says she's no stranger to being afraid of a romantic partner:
"The bruising on my face for the video wasn't real, but my emotions in that video were. I had a bad experience in the past with a previous boyfriend. He never physically hurt me but I did sometimes fear what would happen next if I said the wrong thing. He could be overprotective and embarrass me in front of my work colleagues or friends because of his aggressive behavior.... [via Hip Candy]
