Insecure
The insecurities that she felt towards how she looked like without makeup turned into something unhealthy. She would obsess over her makeup and would refuse to leave the house unless it was on. Nobody except her family members knew what she had, but they didn’t want to force her to quit the makeup.
They didn’t want to make her do anything she was comfortable with, so they allowed the makeup routine to continue. Mariah would even wear it when she went to parties or sleepovers at a friend’s house. She couldn’t open up to anyone and felt like she was just wearing a mask the entire time.
