A Woman Without Paint Is Like Food Without Salt

In contrast to this magazine portraying to promote healthy kids and happy families (Parents Magazine, pg. 1. June 2011). There are contradicting messages found in all three magazines used for the purpose of this essay. For example, in one magazine there are tips and advice on how to apply and which make-up products to buy to create the beautiful look the model was showing in the picture (October, p. 94). This message could be portrayed to young women that make-up is something needed to create beauty, Mothers always want their daughter to wait as long as possible before using these products to take away

Comically, the first time I ever wore black eyeshadow, my friends asked me “Em, what’s on your face? Did someone give you a black eye?” I knew from then on that cosmetology school was not in my future plans. I wanted my face to be flawless; to be airbrushed and smooth like the models in teen magazines. Society told me that in order to be beautiful, I had to fit into its confines of perfection. Now, I know that to not be true, for beauty is much more than looking like a Barbie doll, true beauty comes from possessing a good

Beauty standards in America are always changing and continuously on the rise due to society’s constant obsession with the perfect body image. This image is built upon the things we see in movies, television shows, and magazines, which causes girls to feel the need to look flawless and set far-fetched goals for their physical appearance. Today’s era marks tall, skinny and flawless faces as beautiful, and if girls don’t have any of these attributes, they truly believe that they aren’t as beautiful and will do whatever it takes in order to obtain that beauty. In today’s ever-so-demanding society, social media, flawless models, and pressure from not only peers but from family as well, have all implemented a negative impact

Hamlet is talking about how women with beauty claim to be innocent when in reality they are not. Due to his mother’s betrayal he now thinks all women will be the same way to him. He making a stereotype based on one event that caused him to think that all women are the same. We show this in our scene because of the way we are making it seem like Ophelia is worthless and isn’t treated with respect. All Ophelia wanted to do is check up on Hamlet

He views makeup as a way for a woman to deceive men, to appear to be something she is not. He says, “I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and nick-name God's creatures, and make your wantonness your ignorance. (3.1.143-150)” For him, cosmetics are an analogy for women’s falseness. Hamlet believes women to be the masters of deception--perfectly trained to entice men with their looks and careless actions, creating a disguise to conceal their true

Modern society is so based on image. Models today are airbrushed and Photoshop and that leads people, both male and female, to believe that they should look like something unnatural. Meaghan Ramsey tells the audience about her 1-year-old niece who looks at her self in the mirror and adores her reflection. However at some point people stop adoring them-selves because young minds become poisoned with a false image of what “beautiful” really is. The title of Meaghan’s Lecture is “Why thinking you’re ugly is bad for you.” She goes on to tell how teenagers and adults are finding themselves unattractive and how that is negatively affecting their lifestyles as well as the world. The sociological aspect of the epidemic is that from a young age, parents, media and religion, dictate to the youth what an acceptable appearance is. Low self-esteem is not natural but rather implemented on children by society. This affects people in a psychological way. Meaghan Ramsey goes on to say how many students, specifically young girls, are refraining from participating in class and even going to class, because they don’t want tot draw attention to their appearance. There is no biological aspect to this epidemic, because regardless of what these women look like, they still will

Hamlet uses an analogy to compare makeup and a woman’s deceitful nature; Hamlet speaks about how women use makeup to cover up and appear to be something they are not, which is deceiving. Hamlet’s anger towards his mother makes it difficult for Hamlet to see that Ophelia is only following her father’s orders, and is not deliberately rejecting his love and betraying him. Ophelia truly loves Hamlet, however she is forced to act as a bait for Claudius and Polonius. Ultimately, Hamlet rejects Ophelia by telling her to go to a brothel because according to him that is where she belongs.Lastly, Hamlet, is completely heartbroken by Ophelia’s betrayal, he begins to disrespect her and he

In act 3 scene 1 hamlet says to Ophelia “I have heard of your paintings well enough. God hath given you one face and you make yourselves another. You jig, you amble, and you lisp, you nickname God’s creatures, and make your wantonness your ignorance.” (3.1.150-153). Hamlet talks to her as if she wears a mask to cover her face and hide her true identity.

Teenage girls are taught that they should be unhappy with their bodies and to fix their imperfections, and but a lot of makeup to hide all of it. I don’t mean to bring down all women who wear it, I mean I wear some every time I go to school, but that’s because I hide behind that mask to actually be noticed and liked by people. I am sad to say that I also am influenced by the idea of having to look a certain way. 13 year old girls need to realize sometimes it’s okay to go out without makeup on, and just be you instead of being someone you clearly aren’t. You don’t want to grow up and miss out your

Everyone believes that it’s so cool to wear so much makeup. But nobody knows the danger in all

During adolescence, kids go through significant transformations to achieve maturity. Likewise, body image is discovered at a very young age and many kids can be dissatisfied with their own body. In the past years the media has focused its attention on creating beauty products for the youth. Many believe that this is wrong due to the idea of minors acting too old for their age. Advertisers seek for attention from the youth to suck them in at a young age and for a long time. According to Sutter health, marketers have found success in advertising to kids, children ages 12 and under convince their parents to spend more than $500 million a year. Kids are pressured into buying these beauty products because they want to fit in with society, thats mostly molded by the media. Most kids look up to celebrity peers, often following their footsteps. Often times, these celebrity peers are viewed as the most beautiful in their age group. They think that whatever famous people do, they should do too. Kids change the way they dress, style themselves and sometimes even how they act. These so called “role models” are most of the time presented as sexual. Almost always, these celebrities have their own stylist and are photoshopped. Even the most beautiful of the younger celebrities, are not beautiful enough. The media doesn't limit itself with only reaching out to adults, but now also reaches out to

It was not only till the Nineteenth century where makeup became gender inclusive to society and became a women dominated industry. As the years progressed society was conditioned to think that makeup was made for women. Outside ancient Egypt women had done above and beyond to enhance their beauty to become better suited for a mate or to be considered beautiful. Before makeup was even introduced to world, women went to the extremes of using burnt matches to darken their eyes, using berries to stain there cheeks and lips, and even swallow oxblood to improve overall complexion. And if it wasn’t for the help of social media, men would still be struggling to this day to get the cosmetic recognition that they deserve. Gender roles has always created social boundaries for not only men but for women as well.Women have also dealt with the hardship of trying to be accepted in a society. Since the nineteenth th century restraints of not being able to vote, or work has carried on to the Twentieth century. Women are taken seriously when it comes to sports or having physical strength. Till this day women are making less on their paychecks compared to men. Both genders have their disadvantages and both deal with trying to break the labels that have been created. A new societal culture is happening and regardless of gender the traditional constraints that have been created it is becoming less significant in not only the

In this day and age, the epidemic of these so called ‘beauty’ standards is only getting worse and worse. Because of photo modification, low self esteem in regular everyday people is starting to become something that is nearly considered normal. Today, 42% of girls from age 5-8 want to be skinnier, 52% of girls aged 9 to 13 feel better when they are dieting and by the age of 17, 78% of girls are unhappy with their own bodies. Think about

Often times, women are pressured by the mainstream media to upkeep a stellar appearance. They are expected to measure up to high standards without question. Even before most girls reach puberty, commercials are bombarding them with small Barbie esque makeup kits filled with lip glosses and chalky eyeshadows. The impact it has on impressionable children, both girls and boys is something that will likely last a lifetime if unlearned. Cosmetic companies who are marketing to young ladies say they can simply improve their looks to gain acceptance from their peers if they use the products they are selling. The makeup industry is a multi million enterprise that makes a profit from women’s insecurities and amplified pressures from society as a common tactic many cosmetic campaigns use is to push women to embrace the ‘natural look’ by providing products that will make it appear as if the individual is not even wearing makeup. Companies will spout out that with these products, the end result will be ‘you, but better.’ It is somewhat of an underlying and slightly manipulating slogan, as if to say how a woman appears could be improved because it is lacking in the moment. This distorts how we all believe how a woman is suppose to look.
