5. CoverGirl Showed They Won’t Stop the Diversity Fight
CoverGirl is a cult classic among drugstore makeup lovers. The company is also one that continued to make waves. They recently featured a new commercial with a model that has vitiligo. This skin condition, where the skin loses pigment and leaves discolored patches in different areas, has been seen before in the fashion world thanks to Winnie Harlow, but not yet in the beauty world. Model, Amy Deanna, is the latest spokesperson for CoverGirl that changed the game. The ad showed her using the company’s products to further enhance, rather than cover up, her skin. We’re all for this beauty industry win!
