“I began by considering what role the idea of cosmetic beauty played in my life. I am not easily led by the frivolities of the industry, and at the moment, I can be thankful just for my youth. But when the time comes that I am looking for that miracle cream, what will the industry have to offer, and more importantly, what will I succumb to? When I think of make-up, I think of Cake Slap Surface Hide MASK. ‘Oh I only carry around a few essentials: foundation, concealer, blusher, mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, lipliner, lipgloss. I like the natural look.’ Why don’t you just wear a fucking MASK?!!!” – FACE PATTERNS
“This is such a difficult subject for me. All my life I’ve been trying to be beautiful, trying to improve myself into what I thought I am supposed to be. Unthinkingly I’ve followed the perfect image presented to me by the media. I never stopped to think how sick I am of all of this. To be asked to explore and potentially challenge this is difficult. While I’ve been investigating my own notions of beauty I’ve realised a lot: how stupid and industry-led these notions are. However, these have been my notions for a good part of my life and no matter how stupid, some part of me still wants society to think of me as beautiful. This is hard to let go of.” – KILLING BEAUTY
“The industry flourishes because of the very fact that it taps into the most primordial parts of every person’s neurosis: the need to be thought of as attractive. If beauty can ensure a superior quality of life, then how can we achieve it? What is the recipe for beauty?” - YOUR FACE IS YOUR FORTUNE
