Key Quotes:

Innovative Makeup for Burn and Scar Coverage: "I had husbands crying and hugging me because their wives would go out in public again. It was just so heartfelt and warm that I couldn't let it go. I was like a dog with a bone, and I just kept at it and kept at it until finally they listened and started sending me people."— LeiLani Kopp [00:04:27 → 00:04:49]
The Transformative Power of Makeup: "I always known what makeup does on the outside, how it transforms us on the outside. But over the years, I've realized how it transforms us on the inside because it is more the makeup. It's therapy for these patients or these people who have gone through traumatic injuries and scarring and fires, and for them to be able to smile again or go back to work or just go out in public."— LeiLani Kopp [00:07:22 → 00:07:52]
