When we think of make up in a western context, most of our minds immediately go to the expression of femininity.

But after seeing Fall Fashion Week 2017's make up looks, I saw make up in a completely different light. The bright, bold looks blurred the lines between make up as a means to enhance facial features and abstract face painting. The more abstract the looks got, the more genderless they seemed. For the first time I saw looks with eyeshadow that (as a masc presenting person) I could actually see myself wearing.

I invited some of my favorite Qwears and their friends to choose a look inspired by one of the Fall 2017's looks, or wherever their creativity took them, for us to recreate. The result was an incredible shoot that allowed us to express ourselves in newer, bolder, and brighter ways.
