I'm a self taught makeup artist and my style is heavily artistic. One of my videos got 54 million views.
I had fun with makeup when I was young because I was a competitive cheerleader in high school and for competitions we had to wear eyeshadow. But I didn't start wearing mascara until I was around 13 or 14. I remember stealing it from my mom's makeup kit or sneaking into my older sister's room and putting on some of hers before school.
As far as I knew, when you were unwell you went to the doctors, they told you something was wrong, gave you medicine and you would be cured. For doctors to tell me that there was no cure and that I could potentially be dealing with ulcerative colitis for the rest of my life was overwhelming and scary.
Sydney Morgan was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 16 and had her entire colon removed in 2019. She started practicing makeup more during time in hospital and at home between her surgeries and became a viral TikTok start in 2020.During those procedures, I remember being homebound and in the hospital a lot and wanting a hobby I could do without exerting myself too much. Art and makeup were something I could do.
I now have 8 million followers, which can be hard to put into perspective. I remember driving past my sister's college football stadium, and my mom telling me I had 100 of those stadium's worth of TikTok followers. To think of it like that is a lot of people. My illness and operation definitely changed my perspective on life, it was a wake up call to do things that make you happy. I had never heard of ulcerative colitis before my diagnosis, which is why I'm such an advocate now. I want people to know about it.
