By making this strategic marketing choice, the model has been smashing stereotypes and casting a new light on different beauty standards and inclusivity. Recruiting this young model to represent their brand was a way for Benefit to declare their desire to change how people think about beauty and the norms that have been dictated to us all for far too long.
Benefit, a brand followed by millions of women all across the world, fully supports inclusivity and this is just the beginning for the beauty era that refuses to conform to particular standards. Young Kate, who was the first person with Down syndrome to win Teen Ultimate Beauty Of The World pageant, became an inspiration for teens with and without disabilities.
As part of her new-found responsibilities, Kate gets to travel the entire world and meet boutique clients in all four corners of the globe. As well as her pretty face, Kate has a clear head and knows that she has a mission to accomplish. There is no doubt that her determination will overcome even the most old-fashioned mindsets.
