Bustle x MAYBELLINE = 40 Asian Pacific Trailblazers AKA Face the Difference

 

"Co-created with Maybelline New York in honor of Asian Pacific Heritage Month, Face the Difference brought together 40 trailblazers shaping beauty, culture, and the arts to celebrate the broad spectrum of Asian Pacific beauty — something yet to be done at this scale. Olympic medalists traded stories with Broadway stars. TikTok icons swapped numbers with culinary giants. Eavesdropping between takes, there was no small talk — only genuine conversation about what it meant to grow up feeling invisible and how embracing heritage has fueled success.

Inspired by the 40 shades of Maybelline’s Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, the shoot turned shade diversity into something deeper: a storytelling canvas. These 40 trailblazers didn’t show up to blend in. They came to show how their differences became their superpower. The portraits, layered with mirrored reflections and prismatic light, are more than visually striking — they’re symbols of nonlinear journeys, of strength shaped by nuance, identity, and pride. Because beauty doesn’t happen in spite of difference — it happens because of it. Each of these changemakers invites you into the distinct world they’ve created, where being seen is just the beginning."

Jennie and Lisa + Met Gala 2025

Yes, I know, there are other things to be blogging about, especially since I have not been keeping up to my part of the bargain from a blogging perspective, but all that being said...everyone loves themselves some BLACKPINK at the Met...right?

Lisa + Maroon 5 + Priceless + WTH?

 

I think I'm still trying to figure this all out. 

On one hand I'm like Damn!

And then I'm also like What?

These spaces coexist.
