"Transgender supermodel Andreja Pejic has released her first campaign video for a cosmetics brand.

Andreja Pejic – who came out as trans July last year – has already made history as the first out trans model to be profiled by Vogue.

Michael Brown. Eric Garner. Freddie Gray. We know their names, but not those of countless black women with similar stories.

This time the model has just released a video for Make Up For Ever which also starred Jamie Chung – blogger and actress known for playing gay character Mulan in Once Upon a Time."

I don't always pay close attention the news articles, but this was brought to my attention today when I was at Sephoria. One of the few that helped me match makeup for my skin tone early on pointed out today that one of the models in that campaign was trans. I didn't know and had no way of knowing before that.
