Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists across the world. It also coincides with the Sikh holiday Bandi Chhor Divas. This year, Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas will take place on November 14.

Both festivals centre around the theme of light, which symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

“As a South Asian dark-skinned woman who grew up not seeing many faces that looked like mine in this industry, it makes me really proud that Sephora Canada is celebrating Diwali and sharing creators’ stories of our culture and traditions,” writes Subramaniam on her Sephora Instagram post.
