Beauty-full stories are stories told through beauty. Here we have 5 amazing women with different backgrounds. All beautiful and vibrant yet oh so different and unique in their own way. Proko and Penka creative strategist and photographer worked together with Céline Maes from Mae Mua, a make up artist that solely works with mineral make up, which is starting to be the new norm. A collaboration to experiment and explore how different we in fact are and how beautiful that is. In X-Tina's words: “You are beautiful no matter what they say. Words can't bring you down, oh no. You are beautiful in every single way”. Let’s repeat that with an “I” …

At the end of the day beauty norms differ from our culture, but also to what we consider beauty ourselves. It isn’t about being perfect. It is about being yourself and truly feeling good in your own skin, having the self confidence and liking as accepting what you see in the mirror. Let’s play a game: guess who is who, not that it matters since judging is so 2010.
