The cause
Ultimate Stylist is a competition for people who help others look and feel their best. Compassion plays a key role in being a stylist, which is why we are proud to support Born This Way Foundation. This incredible nonprofit was co-founded by Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, to support the mental health of young people and work with them to create a kinder and braver world. Through high-impact programming, youth-led conversations, and strategic, cross-sectoral partnerships, this organization aims to make kindness cool, validate the emotions of young people, and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health.

LoveSeen is on a mission to create faux-lash styles in multiple shades that mimic natural lashes. When longtime lash wearer Jenna Lyons and makeup artist Troi Ollivierre noticed a lack of hyper-natural, everyday faux lashes on the market, they decided to make their own lashes so that every eye shape, hair color, age, and skin tone could find a lash they love. LoveSeen’s 98% plastic-free products use soy-based inks, and recycled and recyclable material where possible, and have lash trays made from sugarcane pulp.
