My project centers around the conflicting messages the beauty industry sends women, and especially young girls. We spent a lot of time in class this semester discussing how we have been socialized to accept the messages that come at us from the industry and live in the patriarchy. Society doesn’t often acknowledge the strength women have to live in a world that constantly moves the goal posts. I aim to spotlight the problematic beauty industry and the totally unrealistic expectations it places on women.
