Mei Pang for Elle Canada
This is a profile I wrote and shot on film with Mei Pang in Toronto. Mei Pang, a Malaysian-Canadian makeup artist, shares how her bold, tattooed style and innovative makeup artistry helped her embrace her identity and challenge beauty norms. Inspired by online communities and personal growth, her work has earned collaborations with major brands, a spot in Rihanna’s Fenty show, and a guest judge role on Canada’s Drag Race. Mei remains a grounded role model, redefining beauty and resilience in the industry.
Fun fact: The shoot was at the harbour and Mei got stopped by 3 fans to tell her how much she has inspired them.
