Beauty Activism
In 2014 Beauty Marks Design Studios founded the Beauty activism movement by speaking out against the media industry and only collaborating with others artists and creative entrepreneurs who were also on a mission to change the dynamic of the fashion, film, and media world. Our Beauty Activism approach champions diversity, inclusivity, and self-acceptance within the beauty industry. It seeks to challenge traditional standards of beauty that often exclude or marginalize certain groups. By promoting a broader definition of beauty that embraces various skin tones, body types, and ages, beauty activism empowers individuals to express themselves authentically. We have worked with advocates & artists tirelessly to ensure that all voices are heard and represented, fostering a culture that celebrates uniqueness instead of conforming to narrow ideals. Through campaigns, community programs, and media initiatives, beauty activism inspires change, encouraging everyone to embrace their own beauty while advocating for a more inclusive industry and society.
