In 2018, #MeiPang (@meicrosoft) launched her YouTube channel and quickly went viral. Pang saw #makeup as a gesture of defiance toward anyone who pressured her to conform. “My dad always said you’ve got to try everything once,” she says. “If it sticks, it sticks. I guess makeup stuck on me.” Her unique look not only challenged #beauty conventions but also caught the attention of major brands and prompted them to include more diverse faces in their campaigns. This led to her collaborating as a content creator and model with brands including @milkmakeup and @gucci. In 2021, she was hand-picked via Instagram by @badgalriri —the queen of inclusivity—to model for her Fenty #fashion show. This year, she appeared as a guest judge on @canadasdragrace . At the link in bio, @time_of_the_sun chatted with Pang, who is taking the beauty industry by storm.
