At Miss FQ, we’re all about making bold moves which is why we’ve teamed up with Revlon for our annual Influence Awards.
As you know, there’s more to having ‘influence’ than being an ‘influencer’ and this year we are shining a light on awesome New Zealanders doing amazing things, both on and off the ‘gram.
