Color Me Natural Campaign

Color Me Natural Campaign

A few weeks ago, I was one of the lucky models who was hired onto a campaign, shooting for the new cosmetic line, Color Me Natural. They specialize in vegan beauty products, which I love! I am not a vegan, however I am in love with vegan products. You should check them out! Color Me Natural

Heterochromia Iridum

Hey everyone!

I get messages from my supporters all the time, but this one question I get asked frequently.

Fan Question: 'Do you really have two different colored eyes, or, are they edited to look like that?'

Answer: Yes I do! It's called heterochromia iridum. I have one eye that is hazel and the other is brown. It is natural: I was born this way!




This is me. No makeup, no hair products: straight out of the shower. No edits, no lighting tricks, no posing. I am who I am. I have the face and body that I have. It is mine and no one elses. I embrace who I am. I love who I am. There are days where I feel insecure. There are days where I feel ten feet tall. This is me. I love myself and that is OK.

About Plus Model Keri Atkins

ABOUT PLUS MODEL KERI ATKINS


Plus Model Keri Atkins is 25 and based out of the NorthWest in Portland Oregon. Keri did not foresee a future in the fashion industry, let alone a career as a plus model. Most of her life, she felt as if fashion was not for her, due to her size. In fact, it wasn't until she was an adult, when she saw her first plus model and campaign. Not long after this, Keri was approached by a store manager, asking her to consider plus modeling.

Over four years later, Keri is now signed with Plus10, a division of Theary Sim Inc. Her work has been seen in USA TODAY, POSE MagazineSkorch Magazine, Pretty Pear Bride, Rack PLUS Magazine, Curves and Chaos and many other publications. Keri also participated in May Faith Photography’s ‘BEAUTIFUL AS I AM’ campaign: meant to call attention to bullying. This campaign was published in the HUFFINGTON POST, on countless blogs, local radio stations and lead to Keri being interviewed for a news feature, as well as being a guest for a LIVE interview on KGW NEWS. In October 2012, Keri Atkins also won the prestigious award ‘BEST PLUS MODEL’ at the 1st Annual Portland Fashion and Style Awards. Keri Atkins recently participated in the 2013 Full Figured Fashion Week in New York. Not only this, but she was also the Featured model for Youtheary Khmer’s spread for Portland Fashion Week. Keri also walked in Portland Fashion Week for two designers. With countless features, spreads and editorials, Keri Atkins, based out of Portland Oregon, has proven models of all shapes and sizes can have a successful career in the fashion industry.
