In everyday society makeup is used to help boost confidence, enhance your image and for most women and girls, including myself, the process of applying makeup (whether that be a full face or just some mascara) is a part of my daily routine.
Though everyone has their own way of doing their face, an idea of mine would to be explore the ways in which the application and use for makeup could be in a completely opposite world...
Where makeup was applied to the body/face/hair to project emotions, situations and views of each individual.
Fashion editorials can be and are by some, perceived as an ideology of the 'perfect' life and the 'perfect' image. I personally believe this is why controversial and imperfect fashion editorials are frowned upon due to society being used to the polished beauty which sell products.
Though fashion has such a huge impact on society, culture and politics. The concepts and ideas behind fashion editorials, the artistic and creative minds which collaborate to create these editorials.
Could I flip this view upside down, and imagine a world where controversial editorials were idolised and used as an inspiration for our own personal presentation?
Involving delving into the thoughts and theories behind hyper reality, sexism, domestic violence to name a few of thousands... could we style ourselves on raising awareness of personal and political issues?
