ICONIC: Hi, ICON! Please introduce yourself, let’s GET REAL…
Yasmin: My name is Yasmin, although everybody calls me Yas, and I am a Vitiligo model from South London. I began modelling my Vitiligo last year, when I was scouted by a talent agency, and it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me!
ICONIC: What makes you feel ICONIC?
Yasmin: One thing that makes me ICONIC is my facial difference…my vitiligo! It took me a long time to understand that, yes, I am so much more than a woman with Vitiligo, but my Vitiligo is a part of me, a part of me that makes me beautifully unique, and I wouldn’t change that for the world! In my opinion, blending in is over-rated and I love standing out!
ICONIC: What role does makeup play in your life?
Yasmin: Make-up plays a massive role in my life! Not only within my work when I am getting glammed on shoots but in my personal life. I used to completely camouflage my Vitiligo with makeup because I hated anyone seeing me in my natural state. I am so happy to say that now I no longer hide behind makeup and use it to only enhance my natural beauty!
