GRWM Cosmetics, created by YouTuber-turned-entrepreneur Mae Layug, showcases a revolutionary collection that lets you define beauty on your own terms
This generation of beauty enthusiasts will never know the struggle of not having any options from the drugstore. At best, we had two local brands with a problematic shade range for complexion products (three shades, if we’re lucky, covering light, medium and deep). On a special occasion, we allowed ourselves to splurge on a MAC product that was waaaay out of our budgets as students.
The word maarte (vain) was used as an insult. Skin-lightening products were so popular, deeply rooted in internalized racism and social hierarchies. With the limited options we had, we didn’t have the freedom to actually experiment or discover the power of makeup.
