Selma Blair praised for sharing endearing makeup tutorial that shows her daily struggle with multiple sclerosis
Selma Blair is not letting her battle with multiple sclerosis take over her life.
The incurable condition -- which cripples the central nervous system -- is starting to affect the actress' fine motor skills, but that's not stopping her from attempting to do everyday activities, such as applying makeup on her own.
"So my fine motor skills aren't, like, fine at this moment," Blair said in an Instagram Stories video posted on the weekend. "So I just want to say I'm going to probably give a makeup tutorial never. But if I do then you know I'm really just trying to have fun."
The 46-year-old then proceeded to show her fellow sufferers how to stay glam as quickly as possible.
"MS people: Brush. Big. Bronzer. There, done. Stop. Bye," she laughed in the video while rubbing the bristles all over her face.
The actress -- who made her diagnosis public last October -- then added the hilarious caption, "Here is my solution to applying makeup with a lack of fine motor skills. #laugh and feel free to reapply my makeup.#makeuptutorial #real."
Blair's famous friends cheered her on for being so open with her struggles, each praising the star on Instagram.
"What a ROCKSTAR you are," Kris Jenner gushed on the video. "I adore you… sending you tons of love today my girl."
Will & Grace star Debra Messing also applauded the actress, commenting, "Love you @selmablair and your application. You're awesome."
Meanwhile, Brooke Shields believed that Blair didn't need to bother with makeup.
"You are so beautiful, you don't need makeup," said Shields."But I agree with a big brush always. Love you."
In an interview with Vanity Fair in February, Blair said that she felt a sense of responsibility to help put a face to the disease so other sufferers could see that they were not alone.
"I'm pretty much a nobody in Hollywood," she said. "But when I read comments on Instagram from people who were suffering, whether it was from M.S., or anything, I thought, 'Holy s---, there's a need for honesty about being disabled from someone recognisable.'"
