This is one of the very few cosmetic brands moving in the right direction in the 21st century. Benefit Cosmetics recently hired a 20-year-old girl as one of the models for their eyeliner. The company’s values were highlighted in the fact that they did not discriminate against this excellent model with Down Syndrome.

Kate Grant recently advertised Benefit’s Roller Liner Eyeliner on social media. The fans of the company and many others were in awe of her beauty and talents and greatly appreciated the company’s ideas of inclusivity.

One mother also commented on the Instagram page how it means a lot for her and all such mothers who have children with Down Syndrome. She expressed her gratitude for featuring the beautiful girl and applauded their gesture of inclusivity.
