Initial Ideas

This is the presentation I made of my initial ideas and workings for this project. I chose to study feminism and women's representation as it's a topic which greatly interests me outside of my studies and one which has a huge repercussions on the media making it applicable to makeup studies.



Following the seminars we had where I presented these ideas, my makeup ideas have altered slightly. Instead of focusing my 3 makeups on the three waves of feminism I will focus all my makeups into the third category post-modernist feminism as this will give me more room to to explore and experiment with ideas rather than sticking to three set makeups. I will just explore gender transformation as the theory of gender is the main focus of post-modernist feminism and this will hopefully give me more scope in my makeups. I would like to look at:

- drag makeup

- natural boy to girl transformation

- stubble and beards

- prosthetics woman to man (adams apple, brow piece etc)

 - bald caps and eyebrows

- androgynous / non-gendered makeup

 - mixed gender
