Keira Fraga
Personality through makeup
I believe makeup can be a very important aspect of someone's life, it can affect your entire day and make you feel good or bad about yourself. It shows a lot about one's values and their personality. A makeup collection can be very personal. It can show if someone is clean or chaotic, if they are materialistic or like to be simple and focus on other things in their life. In this project I photographed 5 makeup collections and asked what the owner's favorite product was and color selected it. In one, it was their bright red lipstick that they love to use when they go out and party. In another it was her sunscreen to keep her looking young. Some makeup is hand-me-downs from mothers and family, there is a story behind every product and a reason why that person cherishes it and chose to put it in their everyday routine and to me that is very human.
