In celebration of everything that makes beauty authentic, powerful, and personal, MEGA presents its big beauty issue this October. From putting the spotlight on young beauty creatives who are unafraid to take risks for the sake of their art, to the industry bigwigs who are using their global platforms to raise awareness of the equal importance of physical and mental health, this month’s issue proves that beauty is about helping everyone confidently express themselves. MEGA also welcomes you to this year's MEGA Beauty Awards as we celebrate the industry's gold standards and breakthroughs as new classics. As beauty meets fashion at the junction, we follow our cover star #KimChiu as she shares how she overcame her insecurities and unapologetically defined her artistry on her own terms: https://onemega.co/KimChiuHappierThanEver Ready to step into the world of modern day beauty?
