Break Away Beauty

LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIPLOMA IN CREATIVE PRACTICE (PHOTOGRAPHY)

This project explores the idea of breaking away from society’s high and unrealistic beauty standards and offers instead an unglorified look at beauty advertising which challenges these norms. Makeup is often used as a tool to completely alter someone’s appearance, but in this case, it is used in a very messy way to emphasise that real beauty isn’t about perfection.

Contrasting colours have been a key focus for this project to create a series of unconventional beauty looks and an expressive atmosphere. The idea of capturing reflections in compact make-up mirrors is an interesting and distorted way of showcasing the idea of our dysfunctional beauty standards and the pressures young women face.
