Wedding Makeup, 2013

Untitled (Self-Portrait with Sun Tan), 2003

                          This Photograph was taken by a professional photographer during my sister's wedding.
I used this selfie as comparison with Cindy Sherman selfie where she is over tan and using a lot of make up because that is how I felt when I had to wear all that makeup that is everything but natural.

Sherman’s way of changing her appearance is fascinating because is an overrepresentation of our daily lives. Even though she did not have any feminist or political purpose when she took the pictures, they are a great way to represent stereotypes and what society expect from others, especially women. For example, her self-portrait with sun tan, I believe it is a representation of what women deal with all the time. [Some] Women feel the necessity to look as it is expected from society and therefore change their appearance in different ways, starting for their makeup.
