The word beauty has never been more inclusive, accepting, and open than it has in the last few years. In our October issue, we talk about this massive shift and how it impacts the world of fashion. Gracing our cover is the ever-eloquent Catriona Gray, who talks about the power of being openly vulnerable, the challenges in social media, and why we should stop comparing women with one another—even just to say, “Who wore it better?”

In our special beauty issue, we also present the much-anticipated, annual MEGA Beauty Awards, where the best products are put in the spotlight and imagined as part of our daily lives—as they truly are.

In this fun and colorful issue, created together with Flormar, the two powerhouses talk about how makeup and style affect their performances and what new artists need to survive in this cutthroat industry.
