Jenner is a great candidate to star in a beauty campaign, and while we wonder which brand will be the first to win her, Estee-Lauder-owned cosmetics giant Mac is rumoured to be her first big job.
According to Page Six, the former Olympian has had “several high-level meetings over the past few months”. This, however, would come as no surprise, as the company, which has the inclusive ethos of “all ages, all races, all sexes,” has featured drag queen RuPaul, as well as other stars including Elton John, Ricky Martin, Beth Ditto, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna.
Mac hasn’t given any comment on this as yet, but so far Estee Lauder group president John Demsey seems pretty positive about Caitlyn's cover. He told Page Six: “There's never been someone with that level of celebrity who's ever done something so bold and so visible in public, and it's done very elegantly and glamorously.”
In a new documentary she speaks out about the pressure women are constantly under to look beautiful. "I never had it till a couple weeks ago - had a professional come in and do my make-up. What a difference," he said while applying make-up on in front of a mirror.
In terms of fashion, we can think of Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci, Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier, all who are advocates for LGBT rights and have featured rights and have featured transgender and drag queen models in their campaign and/or catwalks.
