BINARIES
Activist Janet Mock opens eyes—and minds—
about the definition of beauty in her new
biweekly column for allure.com.
I can’t discuss my beauty journey without mentioning my
best friend.
I met Wendi Miyake two decades ago, when I was an insecure
seventh grader. I worried about my acne-prone complexion, my
curly Afro, and my inability to be seen as the girl I knew myself
to be. With her green bob and liner-rimmed eyes, Wendi was
unapologetic about her identity as a transgender girl. Her
audacity to be herself inspired my fullest self-expression.
The morning after our first sleepover, Wendi pulled out
her purple Kaboodle and sent me to homeroom
with tweezed brows, shimmering eye shadow,
and a silver barrette. The girls in class lauded
2 my look, and I felt beautiful, a term that had
seemed elusive—until Wendi.
Now a makeup artist, Wendi and her kit
have been present for many milestones:
senior prom, both of my book-cover
shoots, my wedding. The world may have
dismissed my hair texture, multiracial
skin tone, and gender expression—but my

beauty was expansive, empowering, and free
from restrictions.
It is in that spirit that I’m here to announce Beauty
Beyond Binaries, my new column for allure.com that will cover
everything from the politics of presentation and the
undervaluing of femininity to pretty privilege (yes, it’s real!),
3 femmephobia, and why glam is vital to survival. Beauty culture
should be inclusive and affirming—and that’s the mission of
this deliberately feminist space.
I hope you will join me in it.

Rules, and I loved the way my curls dried with the salty seawater.” 2. A selfie-

or snapped during a tropical getaway. But when those paparazzi lenses zoomed in on
the 31-year-old, Hadera (who has an Ethiopian father and a European-American mother and
was born in New York City) became a bona fide movie star. It was her first day playing Stephanie
Holden on the set of the new Baywatch movie in a cherry-red number inspired by the world’s
most famous one-piece. “You think of Pam Anderson and what she looked like in hers,” says
Hadera, imparting some one-piece wisdom: “Gotta arch your back.”

“I’m not too adventurous with makeup,”

says Hadera. “I’ve found my things and
I stick to them.” Among her favorites:
Guerlain Terracotta The Bronzing
Powder in Moyen Blondes and L’Oréal
Paris Voluminous Original Mascara.
On stepping into the red bathing suit: “They’re fairly

racy and skimpy one-pieces. You’re thinking, I need
to whip my butt into shape.”
On why dinners were less fun: “I did lots of low
weights, lots of reps, a lot of swimming. It was just
full-body nonstop. In the month leading up, I cut
out alcohol. That was just a killer, but it’s the fastest
way to drop weight. You don’t want to believe it is,
because you want your wine.”
On rewards: “It’s unrealistic to think you’re going
to stay in that shape forever. You’d kill yourself.
So there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I went
to a restaurant in New York City called Raoul’s—it’s
an institution—and had steak au poivre and all the
fries and all the wine. It was so good!”
On newfound beach habits: “Sunscreen all the time,
which I haven’t always used. When I was a teenager,
I would just bake in the sun, which is a terrible thing
to do, and now I see my little crow’s-feet coming in....
And I have wavy hair, so I use Bumble and Bumble
Surf Spray. It keeps my hair from getting frizzy and
lets it do what it does—I’ll spray it, put it in a bun,
and get a nice wave.”
On bathroom fails: “A million Q-tips die in the
making of my cat eye. My fiancé is like, ‘How are we
out of Q-tips again?’ I use a Sephora waterproof
liquid eyeliner in black.”

On her own insecurities: “I haven’t always had great
skin. I don’t care if you’re in the best shape or you’ve
got the nicest head of hair—when your skin is bad, you

You tapped, you swiped, you crossed your fingers—and
you found a keeper. This is the rare concealer that checks
all the right boxes. It comes in a wide range of shades,
and each one is designated “Y” or “R” (for yellow or red

Plus it covers dark circles really well, really fast—and you
don’t need to do any fancy maneuvering to blend. “Heavily
pigmented concealers can be thick and hard to spread,
but this one balances high pigment levels with an ingredient
called dicaprylyl carbonate that keeps the formula ‘wet,’ ”
explains cosmetic chemist Ni’Kita Wilson. “It’s soft and
smooth on skin because it contains lots of emollients, like
dimethicone.” It’s also loaded with more surprising
ingredients, including amino acids that brighten skin. “If
you took the pigments off this ingredients list,” says Wilson,
“I would say I was looking at an eye cream.”

It’s also a game changer for curls, adds

but that’s not even close to its best
feature. “It’s got the kind of long-term
moisturizing claims you normally
see on a body lotion, not a body wash,”
says Wilson. It’s flecked with capsules
of heavy-duty moisturizers, like lauric
acid, and argan, sunflower-seed,
and soybean oils. “When the capsules
dissolve in water, the oils and fatty
acids are released and stick to your
skin. They replace some of the natural
oils that your skin loses whenever
you cleanse,” says Wilson. Two of the
ingredients—lauric acid and soybean
oil—also help make your skin’s
moisture barrier stronger over time,
so the more you use this wash, the
softer your body will be.

going to spoil it for you: This is a

feel like the oldest, most unpierced,
least genderqueer extra on the set
of Girls, and while she is thoroughly
on point with her dark hoodie, long
platinum braids, artistically placed
tattoos, and gypsy trove of vintage
silver rings, Kravitz doesn’t project one
iota of snotty millennial smugness,
nor the condescension of the beautiful,
famous, and extremely fashionable.
YOU GET THE SENSE THAT

always assume I’m much more hippie-
dippy than I am,” she says. Her
character, Bonnie, kind of an alt-left
paragon, on the surface at least, seems
uncannily laid-back and reasonable
and generous in the drama’s tense,
repressive environment. “I’m certainly
not as patient as Bonnie is. I can be
quite confrontational at times,” says
Kravitz. “Bonnie has an amazing level
of compassion; she’s very aware of
others’ struggles.”
Best known for her success in
action movies (X-Men, Divergent),
Kravitz showed a side of herself in the
sophisticated drama of Lies that the
world is likely to see more of. “I want
to do more drama,” she says. There is
an intensity as she says it. You get the
sense that Hollywood is only starting
to scratch the surface of her talent.
This month we’ll see another facet
in Rough Night, a broad physical
comedy about a bachelorette party
in Miami that goes absurdly off the
rails, also starring Scarlett Johansson
and Kate McKinnon. “I had so much
fun,” Kravitz says. “Kate is genius. It’s
hard not to laugh in every scene with
her. There was definitely this idea
behind doing the movie that it’s our
turn to do a film like The Hangover
where male characters get rowdy and
dirty and outrageous. Women want
to do that, too.”
for me of what it meant to be female.
My mother had really great girlfriends.
Marisa Tomei is my godmother. I’ve
always been around strong women,

my family.”
It’s probably best to leave the
following exchange verbatim.
As you mention your mother, has
the Bill Cosby scandal upset her?
“I think it bummed her out. Though
she didn’t seem incredibly surprised.
I don’t think she wants to hear about
anyone being abused, especially
by someone she spent so much time
with. It feels shitty. You want to
shower.” She smiles, in a slightly
pained way, clearly having said all
she wants to say on the topic.
It’s time to move on to happier
subjects, like inspiration. The first
name to drop: Susan Sarandon. “I’ve
known her a little bit,” Kravitz says.
“I think she’s sexy and talented and
amazing and outspoken and
intelligent.” The next one seems to

It would be journalistic negligence
to do an interview with Zoë Kravitz
and not bring up her style. We start
with the hair: “The platinum’s fun. It’s
work. But it’s something I’ve always
wanted to do.” Her fashion sense, for
all its bohemian overtones, is rooted
in common sense. “I’ve always liked
contrasts, contradiction,” she says. “I
think too much of anything doesn’t
work—like if everything you wear is
expensive-looking, you look stale. And
if everything you wear is ripped and
falling apart, you look crazy.” (Every

“Racism is very real, and white
supremacy is going strong,” she says.
And identity is not something to be
taken lightly: “I am mixed. My parents

I am identifying more and more with

being more proud of that and feeling

O n Tuesday morning at the Planned Parenthood office in
Maryvale, Arizona, eight adults and three children sit in
the waiting room. “Yap! Yap! Yap!” A toddler wobbles
across the room. “Are you barking?” her father says,
smiling. “Come back here, social butterfly!” Diego Rivera’s
The Flower Seller hangs on one wall. Two pink posters
read: “These doors stay open.” The girl is making a beeline
across the room, past a pregnant woman holding an owl-eyed
baby in her lap, past a couple filling out paperwork while they
whisper and laugh, and straight to the other little girl in the
room, who’s wearing a pink-and-purple cape. Every few minutes
someone comes in from outside—8 patients become 9, then 10,
11.... “It’s beginning to pick up,” Esther Cervantes says. I thought
it already had.
Esther manages the Maryvale Health Center, one of the
busiest Planned Parenthood health centers in the state, serving
more than 6,400 patients a year. She and Carmen Sanchez, the
team leader, sit side by side at the receiving window, checking
in patients, managing payments. Esther has worked for Planned
Parenthood for about 15 years. She calls the Maryvale clinic “my
clinic” and the four young health-care assistants “my girls,” and
when a workman arrives to fix the front door, she calls it “my
door,” asking if he can etch the name “Planned Parenthood” into
the glass. Esther has a mass of dark hair and a down-to-earth,
humorous manner. She’s warm and gregarious and protective—
of her staff and her patients. “She’s a mother hen,” Carmen says.
The staff of the clinic is bilingual, and most live in Maryvale, a
racially and ethnically mixed neighborhood in western Phoenix.
More than half of the patients rely on Title X funds or Medicaid
to cover all or part of their visit. It’s a front-page issue these days
as politicians work furiously to cut that funding from Planned
Parenthood. In the two days that I visited, the clinic saw and
treated 70 patients: 32 for birth control consultations, 20 for
STD testing and treatment, 11 for Depo-Provera shots (a
hormonal form of birth control that’s 99 percent effective—if
administered properly—and lasts three months), and 7 for well-
woman exams. Of those 70 patients, 42 qualified for Title X
funding, the federal program that provides grants for family-
planning services and preventive health care; 12 had private
insurance; 10 used Medicaid coverage; and 6 paid out of pocket.
Abortion services are not offered at Maryvale; they’re performed
at only four Planned Parenthood clinics in Arizona.
The clinic has been in Maryvale for more than 30 years,
serving a neighborhood that has a shortage of health
professionals and is medically underserved; the median
household income in Maryvale is $40,054. Esther’s connection to

constraints and the fear of being reported to immigration authorities
can keep people from seeking medical care, but over time the
Maryvale clinic has built a reputation for being affordable—and
trustworthy. “We built a rapport with patients, and word travels in
that community,” Elma says. “My cousin will tell her cousin, who will
tell the neighbor. We have a reputation that we’re a safe place.”
One story that sticks with Elma is the woman who came in for an
exam after having not seen a doctor in four or five years. She was
an undocumented immigrant in her 30s, and an abnormal result
from her Pap smear that day led to the discovery that she had
uterine cancer. “Thankfully we were able to find it [and] we could

“This was a lady with five or six kids at home and...if it weren’t for us,
she probably wouldn’t have gone too many places. That was scary.
What if that was my mom or my sister?”
There are twin pressures on this clinic: There’s the threat of the
federal government cutting Medicaid reimbursements and Title X
funding (the latter would affect all family-
planning providers, including Planned
Parenthood; the former would affect
Planned Parenthood specifically). By law, no
federal funds can cover abortions, except in
cases of rape or incest or when the mother’s
health is endangered. So while the

Peace and love. Seduction or protest.
A flower has always meant
something more. By Danielle Pergament
Let’s start with daisies, the flora of little girls’ swimsuits and pinafores. Daisies
scattered over rolling meadows—the kind with a light breeze, a beautiful bride, a
few tumbling puppies. Or the depletion of white petals in the hands of a young
woman. A “loves me, loves me not” ritual. Try to think of something that telegraphs
innocence like a daisy. You can’t do it.
Then there’s the rose. A rose will woo you, it will seduce you, it will teach you to
love, and when the time is right, it will ask for forgiveness. But you’d best keep up
because a rose brings with it a dark side. Subversive. This flower is also the
hallmark of the wicked. It’s the one that lures you in, pricks your finger, makes you
suffer, delivers you to reckoning. Don’t believe it? Just ask that prince who spent all
those years as a hideous beast.
Flowers are never just flowers. The decrepit ones in Miss Havisham’s hair. The

enticing ones that lulled Dorothy to sleep. The pansies that Ophelia gave away as
easily as her sanity. Whatever mood or sentiment we can imagine, we can find a
flower to articulate it. We use them to offer friendship, to send condolences, to get
laid. Flowers have killed world leaders and stopped wars. They see us through
baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Flowers have a unique ability to be all things to
all people. They say as much or as little as we choose.

flowers are
never just
flowers.
We use them to decorate: a ranunculus in our hair, peonies on our desks, lilies
on our night tables, even a paper-thin forget-me-not on our cheeks. Here at
Allure, we have always celebrated flowers for their ability to make us smell better,
to make us look better—to simply make us feel better. Flowers will always come
into fashion when political indifference falls out of it. We look to these bursts
of color and joy when the world turns dark. And the darker the turn, the more
significance our flowers assume. They lift us up when our leaders fail to.
Maybe it’s no surprise that the runways this season were in full bloom. Daisies
splashed across a trench at Michael Kors or sprinkled over slides at Prada.
A hat laden with crimson poppies at Gucci and orange blooms glowing against
black boots at Balenciaga. But it’s their rich history and unparalleled symbolism
that make flowers so much more than a device at a fashion show.
Whether they were offered to soldiers at the Pentagon in 1967 or handed out
to demonstrators at the Women’s March in 2017, flowers epitomize peaceful
protest. We slide them through a ponytail in a quiet gesture of defiance. We
weave a dandelion crown in an homage to summer, joy, and love. They say, “I will
not fight.” They are dissidence of the highest, most beautiful order. “I will meet
your ugly with my inalienable beauty.” “I will meet your hate with dignity and
grace.” A horticultural “When they go low, we go high.”
A flower can make us cry or whimper. It can lift us up and give us hope. We
hold it; we cherish it; we dry it or press it. All to savor its beauty.
A flower can speak volumes—and never make a sound.

the beauty looks for ad campaigns and magazine covers,
the people shaping our perceptions of beauty, have been

who are changing the paradigm have a few ideas.

A woman enters a tiny nail salon in
Phoenix and gazes at the impressive wall
of polish. She’s feeling overwhelmed; the
bottles progress all the way from pale
eggshell to deep eggplant. A helpful young
technician with a creative eye approaches
and suggests a glossy cranberry lacquer.
The woman folds her mouth into a tight line
and shakes her head firmly: no. A second
technician points to a feisty coral hue, but
that doesn’t quite appeal to the customer
either. The woman continues to reject the
staff’s recommendations (five in all) until

the salon’s only male employee strolls up.
He reaches for a cranberry polish—the
same one his colleague had proposed
only moments before. The woman breaks
into a smile and gives an enthusiastic nod.
“Perfect!” she beams.
THREE WOMEN WHO WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO BREAK THROUGH—AND CHANGE THE FACE OF THE INDUSTRY: Makeup
artists Diane Kendal (left) and Pat McGrath (right) and hairstylist Odile Gilbert (center) have long led backstage teams at the world’s highest-profile
runway shows, an alpha position typically held by their male peers. “When people first met me, they were surprised I was a woman,” says Gilbert.
“But a lot of young girls today tell me I’ve helped open doors.”

background was in painting and costume design, trying
to mimic a blank slate went against every creative
impulse. “I forced myself to express my aesthetic. It was
difficult at first, and even my agent at the time—whom I
left—told me to stop. But I think having my own style
helped define me as an artist.”
Now Violette’s individual style draws tens of thousands
of followers to her Instagram feed and YouTube channel,
where she deconstructs beauty looks—and breaks down
old industry standards. “Social media has changed
everything,” she says. “It allows women like me to take risks
