Brief summary, lifted from the website of one of the masterminds behind the event -

“[Reveal is] a special event to show love to domestic violence victimized + abused women from a shelter. we invited to come to a salon type of event where they would be treated free professional make-up/hair/fashion make overs. there was no agenda at all besides wanting to show love to these women, whom could really use it on a day of commercialized notions of love. we wanted to affirm and build up their identities in a dignified way and uncover their identities of beautiful creations. i helped to come up with an aspirational name and tagline to encapsulate it all: reveal – a celebration of dignity and beauty.”

Check it out. Volunteer. Spread the word. This is a great practical way to show a deeper kind of love this Valentine’s Day.
