Join the #SELFEXPRESSIONREVOLUTION HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED: Cosmetics Company spreads anti-beauty industry message of inclusion and body positivity. Belladonna s Cupboard is a line of 100% vegan, cruelty free, gluten free and paraben free makeup.. Women are tired of being told how they should look, of having the beauty/fashion industry dissect their body parts, sizes and features, and are ready to embrace and encourage the message that all women (and, indeed, all people) are beautiful. On March 6th 2015, at the Express Gallery during the popular First Friday Art Walk in the Crossroads District of Kansas City, MO, Belladonna s Cupboard put on their own performance by the way of living artwork. They used their FX makeup line to turn living models into artwork with a message for the masses about body image, problems with the culture of slut shaming and selfexpression through body modification and alternative cultures. The models each had elaborate makeup that served as a juxtaposition to the message that they were portraying. Each wore a sign around their clarifying the message and all had hair fascinators that read #selfexpressionrevolution. The company aims to continue this message of positivity and respect for all in 2018 & 2019 by hosting Self Expression Revolution Tour with fashion shows and concerts in various cities around the country, highlighting local artists and bands with a focus on the individual people in attendance and their own needs to express themselves. Model Erika Scarlette O Shea said afterwards Other things I noticed as I stood on display with our message were people becoming moved to tears, rolling their eyes, purposely avoiding our gaze, and outright staring. Reactions came in all shapes and sizes. Most of the people who came up to us to thank us for the message were women, but a few men did too. It s cool to see a makeup company doing something to perpetuate body positivity and the message that all people are beautiful, that s not normal for the beauty world. Said model Krissi Atkisson
At the March 6th Art Walk, One model was carved head to toe (with FX makeup) with messages about body shaming and wore a sign discouraging size discrimination. A second model in skimpy clothing was made faceless with makeup. Her message was all about slut shaming. A third heavily tattooed model, in business clothing carried a message about discrimination against alternative styles in most workplaces. The host of the event, Kelsey Roberts was a true hero of the evening and a gracious host despite being very ill with a disabling chronic illness and had only been released from the hospital hours earlier. She carried a sign explaining to guests that normal is boring and while we may define ourselves by our differences but we shouldn t define each other based on them. One of the most interesting occurrences of the night was how several of the models experienced some of the very things that they were rallying against. A woman came into the gallery and before she even got close enough to read the signs, went to tell the gallery manager that the girls were dressed inappropriately and like whores. A young man walked in and walked right past the girl representing fat shaming and over to the slut shaming and skinny shaming models and asked for a picture. While standing outside for a smoke break, the slut shaming model, Coralyn Martin experienced cat calling and when she moved her sign down a group of girls told her Oh, I thought there would be boobs under the sign!. Overall though, the models expressed happiness that the message was being perpetuated. More than the negative reactions from people which prove exactly why this movement is so important, there were a lot of people during the night who came up and thanked the models for doing this and shared stories about some of the worst names they have been called and how it still hurts like it was carved into their flesh, years later. We have created more under the umbrella that is Self Expression Revolution. A company whose sole purpose is to encourage self expression and bring together alternative indie brands that are socially conscious and inclusive, to further small businesses that share those values, and bring education and events surrounding those topics to as many people as possible. www.selfexpressionrevolution.com

Excellent wearing eye shadows- I've yet to have any creasing without a primer and pigments are fantastic. I like the colors. They look like they'd be difficult to wear but honestly most of them look good on any skin color. The gel eyeliner goes on easily and dents budge. I would put them up against a high end brand any day of the week." -Kelsey Roberts "I use their shadows a lot and they are extremely pigmented and they last all day too. I've gone to several concerts wearing their shadow and it never budged! One of my top makeup brands for sure -Gwendolyn Pineda " "I use BC eyeshadows ALL the time and the staying power is INSANE!! I fell asleep with my makeup on and the next DAY it looked like I JUST applied it...after dancing all night at a glow party Their pigmentation is fabulous and for the price???? SO WORTH IT" -Chandra Cummings-Bishop
