Because beauty isn't always superficial - Rankin Sightsavers Campaign

The hugely talented photographer, Rankin, has teamed up with top makeup artists, including Mary Greenwell, to run a campaign this week highlighting the fact that women account for two thirds of blind people in the world, and how preventable and treatable many of the causes of blindness are.

Be warned, although the images are not "real" they are disturbing and provoking.

  2. Hi Monica - the images are incredible, if disturbing. It is very sad, which is why campaigns like this are such a good thing. x
