Support for the Body Positive Movement
Fullbeauty has sought to support the Body Positive Movement in promoting messaging that runs contrary to the trend of using extremely skinny fashion models. In 2015 the company ran a campaign called "OwnYourCurves" which sought to alter consumer’s perceptions of size and shape as it related to beauty through the positive portrayal of “plus size” women. Meghan Trainor partnered with the company in the campaign.
