This diverse set of beauty influencers isn’t letting anyone dim their shine with their outstanding features and creativity.
One scroll through your social media feed and you’d be hard-pressed to find an unfiltered shot. While we can’t fault personalities for glossing over their perfectly shot selfies (it is, after all, their income source), it’s always a refreshing change to find someone who’s going against the grain with a different set of beauty rules that they abide by.
In celebration of Women’s Month, we sift through the social media throng for a list of females who aren’t just the usual beauty enthusiasts—but who actually face their personal battles with strength. These girls are motivating us to be the best version of ourselves with the help of some makeup, a lot of fun, and plenty of confidence. Find the full list ahead:

However, she first grew a following after documenting her journey as a burn survivor. After a kitchen incident involving hot oil left her face burned and scarred, Chew has been using social media to document her healing process post-accident through a frank and unfiltered lens.
