The philanthropist and real estate developer aims to reduce the stigma around men’s skincare through the campaign. In an interview with People, Lim said, “I think a lot of times Asian men don’t feel comfortable discussing skincare and beauty and for me to be able to say, ‘Hey, I’m using foundation’ and wearing it proudly is very powerful. It’s breaking barriers.”
He also spoke about how this partnership came into existence and his friendship with Rihanna. The TV star said, “When season one of Bling dropped, She was like, ‘So, when is season two coming out?’ From there, we’d DM emojis and fun stuff. She’s the sweetest person and when this came about I said, ‘You helped me a lot.’ This just means so much to me.”
Lim also added that the whole experience has been extremely humbling for him and this campaign has helped him discover a new confidence in himself.
