We are trading beauty secrets today and Media IT girl Pearl Thusi is the first on our list. Following the release of the new MAC Love Me lipstick collection, the cosmetics brand recruited influencers and media personalities from around the world that exude self-love and self-empowerment to headline their campaign.

The new MAC Love Me Lipstick Collection is made to express self-love and self-respect. The revolutionary cream formula lipstick is the next step beyond the iconic MAC mattes – representing a stunning innovation in sensation, application and wear.

One of the influencers chosen is Somalian model Halima Aden, popular for being one of the first hijab-wearing models. In the campaign, she revealed, that she tries “to encourage girls in my community – and really all communities – to go out and be ‘the first’.” – and that’s what she loves most about herself.

SA #BellaStylista Pearl also joined her on the self-love train. She shared the secret to her always flawless skin and radiant beauty, in a very simple but powerful sentence.;

My beauty secret is that I love myself.
