LGBTQ Beauty Personalities
LGBTQ Beauty Personalities
Angela Ponce
(1/2) A country with a population of 47 million sends their most beautiful woman to compete in the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world. Miss Universe Spain 2018 Angela Ponce represented transgenders all over the world proving that beauty is not based on what you’re born with, but on what you have and can become.

Angela Ponce
(2/2) No doubt, there is no better yardstick than a mainstream pageant like Miss Universe to proclaim what beauty truly is. And with Angela simply being present there, it already sent the powerful message that transwomen are women, and transwomen are beautiful.

Mari Jasmine
(1/2) Gender labels are all the rage nowadays, but you can be simply labeled beautiful and maybe that’s great as it is. Host and model Mari Jasmine has been the face of many beauty products and have pushed the envelope as well for representation in the spectrum.

Mari Jasmine
(2/2) Everyone should be free to love who they choose to. And being comfortable with yourself is the ultimate glow-up no make-up hack can ever compare to.

Ru Paul
(1/2) Mother Ru is seen as the mother of DRAG— personifying an illusion on themselves, with a display of creativity, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. And this isn’t considered an art form for nothing. Every time a queen gets out on stage, you've got to consider the hours spent studying how to achieve a female form, painstakingly painting on the features, and spending hours of preparations for performances faithful to this art.

(2/2) They’re not called ‘queens’ for no reason. As Momma Ru always points out — if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? And there’s nothing more beautiful than self-loving queens!

Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye
(1/5) Beauty is not just physical appearance. Since the original Fab Five debuted on our TV screens in 2003, it has been given a rebirth to not just be of help to straight, cisgender men, but basically anybody that needs it. (Ed's Note: JVN is their resident expert on hair and grooming)

Tan France of Queer Eye
(3/5) Reception has been great for the new series as it has been not just about for what the eyes can see, but a beauty resource as well for families, relationships, souls. (Ed's Note: Tan is their resident fashion expert)

Karamo of Queer Eye

Bobby Berk of Queer Eye
