What happens when 40 Asian Pacific visionaries come together? You ignite a movement.
Co-created with Bustle and in collaboration with Gold House for Asian Pacific Heritage Month, Face the Difference is a first-of-its-kind celebration of the broad spectrum of Asian Pacific beauty. Inspired by the 40 shades of Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, the campaign unites 40 trailblazers who are changing culture and moving their industries forward.
