My Video Project

This year, in Art Class, I was required to make a video project; of course, I incorporated make-up..But I wanted to hit on a touchy subject. We've literally been conditioned in society to feel bad about ourselves because of all the media attention on beauty, weight,style, etc. It's always hit-home because I myself, feel like I"ve been directly influenced by the amount of magazines I made my mom purchase as a kid. I never felt quite up to par because of the beautifulllll celebrities and models in the gorgeous advertisements; it's nearly impossible to compete with them. So I made my video about the negative aspects of media, we only feel confident when we're "made-up", which is totally true. However, I embrace make-up as a tool for women to succeed. Again, like I've mentioned earlier in my blog, I've seen first-hand what make-up can do for those who don't always feel adequate! So here is my video & remember, it's about the way we feel in our natural skin, it has nothing to do with all the people featured in the spotlight, so spend a few minutes in front of the mirror & try not to self-sabotage! Pick out your ultimate best beauty accessories, whether it be your lips, eyes or killer bone structure and praise yourself for it!
