‘Girl boss’ of GLAM: Student-run organization strives to empower through makeup

With long, yellow nails that match a gold nose ring, Xayla Wilson applies a creamy brown foundation to her skin with a sponge.

“Most of my makeup shots I take on my own. I actually have two bedrooms and one of my rooms is literally dedicated to me doing my makeup,” she said.

The sun reflects off the many products she has in her makeup bag as Wilson studies her own reflection in a travel mirror.

“It’s pretty extravagant,” she said, adding a layer of sparkling highlight to her cheekbones.
