Kirin Bhatty, Pakistani-American celebrity makeup artist, agrees. It’s about giving credit, learning, paying respect, and doing it all with grace and intention. “A lot of our beauty rituals are centuries old, and they’re woven together through storytelling, so if you’re learning, you should pass that knowledge on, especially if you have a platform,” says Bhatty, rattling off ayurvedic beauty trends, turmeric, coconut oil-infused hair masks, and hair oiling as rituals that have been in her family for generations. “I think that’s why people get upset, because people will pull from other cultures and don’t use their platform to educate their followers where they come from.”
