Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After bodycare brand Dove's 'real women' ads and German magazine Brigitte's first 'model-free' issue comes Bobbi Brown's Pretty Powerful campaign that shows the makeup artist's 'friends' sporting new looks achieved with her products.

The makeovers, documented in before/after photos, videos and testimonials, are the centerpieces of the new campaign meant to empower women, which will also include a contest (launching January 19) encouraging customers to submit their own photos and video tutorials demonstrating their transformations.

An online community will then vote on the best looks, with Bobbi Brown donating $1 for each vote to a charity that supports underprivileged women in their careers.

The fifteen candidates with the most votes will receive a Must-Haves Makeup Kit and the Color Strips Collection.

Relaxnews confirms that the campaign, which was first mentioned by the fashion and beauty blog StyleList, will be rolled out internationally.
