With every ad that it releases—including its new Movember ad—shaving subscription service Billie is bringing attention to the fact that for the last century, "women's razor brands haven't acknowledged [female body hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-bush-summer)." With its Project Body Hair, Billie has created ads that actually show women with armpit hair and [unshaven pubic hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pubic-hair-skin), rather than depicting women "shaving" parts of their body that are already perfectly smooth and hair-free.

After tackling body hair in its last few ads, Billie is back with another commercial called 'Movember' that reminds "women have moustaches too" and reinforces that shaving is a choice. The playful video shows women combing their facial hair, applying mascara to it or even accenting it with brightly colored lipstick.
