10 Instagram Movements That Are Dismantling Mainstream Beauty Standards

And for a while, it seemed social media only added to these unrealistic standards by regurgitating them on a rolling, 24/7 basis.

Back in 2016, cofounders Tori Elizabeth and Victory Jones started this self-love campaign to celebrate the many shades of black beauty. “I wanted to highlight and celebrate our unique beauty: our eyes, our lips, our cheekbones. I wanted women from different social and cultural backgrounds. I wanted women with angular eyes, women with freckles and fair skin, and women with really rich, ebony skin. It’s so important to be proud of who we are and showcase the beauty of blackness,” said Elizabeth in a past interview with ESSENCE.
Today, it’s evolved into a full-blown creative agency that aims to diversify beauty and fashion brands through its work both on- and off-line.
