We’ve been screaming ten, ten, ten across the board, while listening to “Heated” by Beyoncé all Pride Month long. Beginning after the Stonewall riots in 1969, it’s a month to celebrate all things related to the LGBTQIA+ community: from our self-expression to our sexuality. It also serves as a reminder to appreciate the love, vibrancy, energy, and creativity that the community brings to us, not just this month, but all year long.
Throughout this month (and beyond), we’re celebrating the LGBTQIA+ folks who’ve paved the way for us. Today, we honor the makeup artists who set trends and push the bounds of beauty standards.
