Unmasking Beauty

Makeup, masks, beautifying, fitting in, dressing up—for whom, and why? Society constantly pushes us to shape ourselves to fit certain standards, but who decides what beauty should look like?

Throughout history, people have used appearance to express status or individuality, yet today’s beauty ideals are heavily influenced by media, trends, and influencers. Are we truly expressing ourselves, or just following a script created by others?

Unmasking these standards allows us to question what beauty means to us personally—and perhaps to find a more authentic self beneath it all.
