To me, make beauty fun means

Benjamin (Chile)

… to be myself and to let my creativity run wild. To show that make-up is art and beauty knows no limits.

Koko (China)

... to be able to express my personality and uniqueness in all its facets, because that’s where I derive my strength and joy for life.

Megumi (Colombia)

...expressing yourself without having to accept any limits or rules. To be able to live in the now and to be happy.

Marta (Spain)

...to express what I feel to the outside world.

Netta (Finland)

...to reinvent yourself over and over again through make-up and to enjoy the path of becoming, even if the result is not perfect.

Andrea (Italy)

... that make-up knows no gender, race, age, religion or sexual orientation. We are all equal.

Patrick (Ireland)

...the ability to express myself creatively.

Mia (Mexico)

Lana (USA)

...expressing your creative streak and doing what you enjoy - and being able to share this passion for art with others.
