For my final project, I will be creating a series of 10 different images that focus on the makeup trends of different eras. I would like to do this project to show how fast beauty standards change. Nowadays, we put so much pressure on looking our best, but the reality is that beauty trends are always changing, and we can never live up to each trend. One facial insecurity will soon be made something desirable and then can quickly revert back to a “flaw” only 5-10 years later. My final presentation will consist of 10 different makeup looks that represent the most prevalent beauty trends of that decade. I will start with the 1930s and go until the 2020s. I will be creating a photographic collection/gallery with the images in a single file horizontal line in chronological order to represent a timeline. I will be creating the looks and taking the photos it at my friend’s house as she has her own makeshift studio. I would like a blank background, so her house is perfect. I think all 10 looks would take a few days to create. I will have the looks prepared ahead of time so during the days where we shoot, it won’t take too long as we will have a clear idea of what we will be doing. The only think I have not decided is if I want to use my friend as the model or myself. I am not sure if I feel comfortable being the model however I do think it would be more impactful if the pictures are of myself as it is my own project and people will get to speak to me and see what I look like now.
