Latinx beauty looks like a sleek bun, penciled-in brows, and dark lip liner. It looks like sharp, winged eyeliner and bright red lipstick. And it looks like curly hair, barely-there makeup, freckles, and subtle, glossy lips. It looks like all of these things or none of them. No one can tell me what Latinx beauty looks like. I am never surprised when someone tells me they're Latinx because we look like everyone. You can find Latinx people in every corner of the planet.
People try to put labels on us, to confine us to niches or cookie-cutter shapes, but we're too varied a group to fit into one category.

We retain our Indigenous cultures, or they've been taken from us a long time ago. hen my Mexican friend and I speak Spanish together, she doesn't get my Nicaraguan slang, and her accent sounds nothing like mine. More than 4.5 million people in Peru speak Quechua, but when I hear it spoken, I can't understand a word.
