Covergirl: An Analysis Of Too Faced Born This Way

The company Covergirl cosmetics was founded in Maryland, Baltimore, by the Noxzema Chemical Company (Niti, 2014). During the year 1958 Covergirl cosmetics was bought by the American multinational consumer goods company, Procter & Gamble, also known as P&G. Another keydate in the company’s history was in 1974, when the company signed the First Black Model in history, by a cosmetics company (Rod, 2014). Cover girl provides a variety of products for women between the ages sixteen to fifty four, but the products are particularly famous in the teenage market place. The company does not own its own stores, rather they sell their products to drugstores, wholesalers and distribution centres and they don’t provide any personal consultant for their makeup, therefore Covergirl is more of a brand license then a cosmetics company. Covergirl cosmetics spends thousands of dollars each year to make their products just right for the consumers, this way when they lose their money in the mass merchant concept they make it up in the economy.

American Beauty, a film that was written by Allan Ball and directed by Sam Mendes in 1999 is a unique piece that demonstrates many sociological themes throughout the development of the plot. The characters strive to portray themselves as the All American Family. They live in a nice house, drive nice cars and seem perfectly normal to the general public, but the audience is allowed to view the deep set issues that plague the main characters; Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), Carolyn Burnham (Annette Bening), Jane Burnham (Thora Birch), and Jane's best friend Angela Hayes (Mena Suvari). As the plot develops there are many obvious parallels relating the lives of the characters to Merton's Strain

What dictates the social roles, the individual responsibility everyone has in society, and stereotypes, an overgeneralized and oversimplified belief of a particular person or group, in America’s 21st century society? Can rationale and critical thinking be held accountable for the establishment of ethical beliefs involving people and their sex, gender related value systems?

Pozner, the executive director of Women In Media & News (“Sonia Maasik”)(“Jack Solomon”)(194).

These cultural myths are not exclusive to men and women as they also involve transgender individuals and others who identify as another gender not classified under ‘cisgender.’ An extensive analysis of mass entertainment culture and

Prostitution is a well-known act of offering sexual service to an individual in return for payment. In the documentary “Very Young Girls” it explains a candid perspective of prostitution and sex slavery in New York City. This film allows the viewers to see the works of a former prostitute Rachel Lloyd.

It shows teenage girls during different stages of their transition. Although this program would hope for a successful turnout some girls are sp psychologically damaged by their owners that they feel obligated to return.

Being raise in a poverty community can have a huge negative effect on the children especially children growing up without parents in their household and being forced into foster care because of the parents lack of ability to take care their kids.

Many of us are faced with the idea that we will never be able to live up to society 's expectations. That no matter what we do as human beings, nothing will ever be perfect to society. In the short documentary film “A Girl Like Me,” the director of the film examines the importance of color of skin, hair and facial features for young African American women. The director 's purpose was to empower the women and let them know they can overcome these false stereotypes. The film starts by including some of the most common misconceptions and stereotypes of African American women, naming a few were, loud, ghetto, and obnoxious. These stereotypes caused a buildup of anger and insecurities that these young women think they are forced to live with. As we are introduced to four young women of color, the film builds its credibility by including personal experiences faced by these women that adds their beliefs and concerns. As stated by Wahida, “Were this way, were that way, and a lot of time we have to prove that isn’t true.” The Director’s argument is broadly directed to one particular audience and fails to include perceptual views from the white community. That ultimately weakened the film’s argument to give the audience further “evidence” of support for the argument presented.

One of the major misconceptions that people have about makeup is that the foundation is basically the product that can make their skin look perfect and hide all the blemishes and flaws. However, the case is quite different as it is the product that has to even out the tone of the face and the neck, to be specific.

In a society where our appearances are virtually everything, there is an abundance of ways to achieve the look that is wanted. Since it is pricey, and sometimes even unaffordable to get plastic surgery (undergoing a surgical procedure to restore, reconstruct, or alter the body), people decide to use makeup to get the look they are wanting. Buying makeup products can get expensive as well, but thankfully there are more affordable alternatives. For example, there are “drugstore” makeup brands, which are the products sold at Target, Walmart, or grocery stores; and, there is “high-end” makeup brands, the products sold at premium retail stores. Since not everyone can afford the high-end makeup or do not want to pay a premium price on makeup, people have found drugstore brands that mimic high-end brands. The base of all makeup is foundation, a skin-colored product that covers imperfections and makes the skin look flawless. In particular, two popular foundation brands are MAC Studio Fix Fluid, and Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless. MAC is considered a luxury product, and Maybelline is a value brand. These are both great products, have very similar qualities, and in the end, will almost give the consumer the same look.

In fact, it has been in the dark so long, that many people choose to ignore it. What is this secret? Well, the beauty industry hides an ugly truth: It has flaws in the system that lead to mislabeling of products, unregulated chemicals in formulas, and dangerous diseases in cosmetologists.
