June is Pride month and we’re looking forward to all the parades, parties, charity events, talks, screenings, and other celebrations in support of the LGBTQ+ (and all variations of the initialism) communities, and in honor of the people who fought for inclusivity and queer human rights via the 1969 Stonewall riots. We’re also here for all the beauty collaborations and launches that support those communities through initiatives and monetary pledges.
With everything from sky high lash extensions to nail and lip lacquers, there’s not only a variety of ways to show off your pride this month (and year-round), but these beauty products give back. You get to look good, and feel good, knowing that your purchase might help a fellow brother or sister beyond this month of commemoration.
