Incredible makeup looks created
in celebration of Pride Month have been flooding our feeds. Artists
have incorporated the hues that symbolize the LGBTQ community in bold,
vibrant art. San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker created the iconic
rainbow flag back in 1978. The original, which was hand dyed and
stitched, is now displayed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Gilbert
believed the LGBTQ community needed a symbol that everyone instantly
understood. In an interview with the MoMA, he said, "We needed something
beautiful, something from us. The rainbow is so perfect because it really fits our diversity in terms of race, gender, ages, all of these things."
Now,
four decades later, artists are expressing their pride and support with
rainbow eyes, lips, faces, bodies - even beards. Here are some of our
favorite looks. With a few days left to celebrate, we hope they inspire
you to make a statement. You can find all the colors you need at www.mehron.com.
