We're also delighted to introduce you to our Trans Awareness Week series: The Beauty In Being Trans. We're spotlighting 5 trans+ creatives with experiences spanning across the trans spectrum, with messages of empowerment and pride surrounding what they define as the beauty in being trans. As a brand born from the unmet needs of the trans+ community, we feel passionate about celebrating Trans Awareness Week and hope you love our series!

PART 1: MUNYA.
"THE BEAUTY IN BEING TRANS IS THAT LOVE FOR OUR COMMUNITY."

Meet Munya - model, Gay Times cover star, and muse from East London. Munya delivers a pinky glam (complete with Glow Drops & Pink Pearl Play Pot) while sharing with us the beauty of advocacy, and the power and resilience of the trans community.

PART 2: SANTI.
"KEEP REVELLING IN THE MESSINESS OF GENDER!"

Santi (Founder & Creative Director at G(end)er Swap) shows us UV freckles using water activated liners while sharing with us the empowerment they feel from their never ending style evolution, constantly inspired by other members of the trans+ community.

PART 3: ELOUIZA.
"SINCE COMING OUT & EMBRACING MY COMMUNITY, I FEEL SO MUCH MORE ABUNDANT IN CONNECTION..."

Rising musician Elouiza is the embodiment of the femme fatale. She shares with us her journey from 'stealth' to pride in her journey, while giving us a subtle vampy glow with fluffed brow and blushed lips & cheeks.

 PART 4: KENYA
"I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW THAT TRANS PEOPLE HAVE EXISTED FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS."

Kenya is a creative, actor, and poet from Manchester. He shares with us a history lesson in trans identities and recognition, with messages of empowerment for those still working it all out. Kenya's look incorporates a contour, a full coverage base, and bleached brows.

PART 5: MAXINE
"I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE DEEPER CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE - AND TO MYSELF - THAT THESE FORMATIVE LIVE EXPERIENCES HAVE AFFORDED ME."
You might recognise our Marketing Manager, Maxine! Maxine gives us a subtle daytime glam while sharing about the importance of shutting out the noise and keeping in touch with your own needs - because if we don't do that for ourselves, who will?
To the entire trans+ community, happy Trans Awareness Week! Here's to better visibility, more joy, and meaningful allyship shown in every form. Not just during Trans Awareness Week, but every week of the year.
