Moon had an idea.

“We were in the middle of shooting and we were doing a costume change that showed more of my scars, and so the makeup artist was touching up my scars, and then we got to the double-mastectomy scars and they were really hard to cover up,” she said. “And then I was looking in the mirror and I just thought, I've been insecure about my scars.”

Instead of having the makeup artist disguise her scars, Moon said, she asked a question.

“I said, 'What do you think about showing my scars in this campaign?' And they were so amazing and thoughtful and wonderful. And we talked it out and we decided to do it,” he said.

“Knowing that there are so many women who have the same scars as me, I know that many of them feel the same way that I have felt about them for so long. And I hope they see the schemes campaign,” continued Moon. “Schemes are so iconic and associated with beauty and sex appeal, and cancer doesn't really have the same meaning. So I really hope that other women who have gone through the same path as me feel a little bit better after seeing it.”
