ROLE: CREATIVE STRATEGIST YEAR: 2026 ART DIRECTION & DESIGNER: SHRAVYA RAGHUPATHY

Driven Forward, Together
Angel City Fc X Toyota


YEAR: 2026

A strategic partnership between Angel City FC and Toyota Motor Corporation built on a shared belief in progress, equity, and community impact. The core insight was that womenโ€™s football has evolved beyond sport into a cultural movement, attracting a younger, values-driven audience.

The Ask
Extend Milk Makeup's "Blur the Lines" platform in a way that stayed true to the brand's ethos while unlocking new growth.


The Insight
Curious men aren't avoiding makeup because they don't want to try it โ€” they're avoiding the stigma of being the one to start. That hesitation fades when the suggestion comes from someone they already trust: their partner.

The Strategy
Rather than positioning makeup through aspiration or expertise, the campaign leverages peer and partner validation โ€” using the people men already trust to destigmatize use and normalize makeup as a practical, everyday tool. This positions Milk Makeup as the trusted brand for men exploring makeup.

By shifting the conversation from โ€œbeautyโ€ to confidence, utility, and self-expression, Milk Makeup becomes the brand that gives men permission to try, learn, and show up as themselves, without fear of judgment or doing it wrong.
High-impact billboards place Milk Makeup in everyday male spaces, using minimal copy and real, relatable voices to normalize makeup without instruction or spectacle by meeting men where they already are and signalling that trying makeup doesnโ€™t need justification.

While social media is where most men first encounter beauty content, the magazine execution broadens the audience by bringing the conversation offline into trusted, culturally relevant spaces.
By presenting makeup in an editorial, non-beauty context, it reinforces credibility, reduces stigma, and positions Milk Makeup as a brand that belongs beyond the algorithm.

Milk Makeup activates giveaways through candid interviews where men share how they look and feel their best, allowing makeup to be discovered through peer voices rather than influencers. By hearing directly from other men, the content builds trust, removes stigma.
