Aside from iconic pumpkin-spiced lattes, stiking Halloween makeup looks and cosy jackets, the month of October features something else that deserves your attention—Breast Cancer Awareness. In an effort to create awareness, raise money and give back to the community, huge corporations like The Estee Lauder Companies have made efforts to start a social cause on their social media platforms. Some of these brands are even taking it a step further by donating their proceeds to individuals who work day-in and day-out to power through the illness.
So, this month we’re wearing a hint of pink on our lips in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month. And while one may think that wearing a pink lipstick comes off as frivolous, it’s actually the gesture of show of support and solidarity.
