The beauty brand unveiled the images Wednesday in a video also starring actress and fashion blogger Jamie Chung.

Original post, 4/21: Tucked nonchalantly into a massive feature was a little sentence containing a huge piece of news: This year, Andreja Pejic will become one of the first transgender models to star in a major beauty campaign.

Brava. With this historic deal, we're ever closer to where we ought to be: celebrating the idea that there's not just one definition of beauty.
