Summary:

"Examines how people use makeup as a strategy and a coping mechanism to get by in a world not made for them"-- Provided by publisher.
Every woman has had to make a very personal choice about her relationship with makeup, but often the choice is not entirely hers to make. Nudson unpacks makeup's cultural impact: how it can be used to shape a personal or cultural narrative, how often beauty standards align with whiteness, how and when it can be used for safety, and its function in the workplace, to name a few examples. She examines the ways that beauty standards differ across race, class, and culture -- and why we all need to care. -- adapted from jacket
