Abstract
Feminism sheds light on women's identities in a variety of ways, along with criticism of gender discrimination and male-centered thinking. In particular, Cindy Sherman's selfie, known as a feminist photographer, expresses various women's images, showing a new identity of women. This study examined feminism makeup that expresses women's self-identification in the recent emergence of Me Too and feminism, and analyzed feminism makeup in Cindy Sherman's self-portrait to find out its aesthetic characteristics. First, the nature of Cindy Sherman's feminism makeup was expressed as dominant masculinity. Through various typical forms of beard, he strongly emphasized masculinity, and his eyebrows were thick and dark, and his facial contour was manly. The beard is a symbol of masculinity and a facial expression of social status and character, so Cindy Sherman actively expresses herself as a feminine figure with feminism makeup. Second, Cindy Sherman's characteristics of feminism makeup expressed the characteristics of benignity, which are caused by the confusion of femininity and masculinity. It emphasizes a positive image to exaggerate the image of a man with feminine features and a manly hairstyle and long, voluminous eyelashes. This positive image can also be seen in postmodernism Androgenus look or Genderless look, and is also the best characteristic of feminism makeup. Third, Cindy Sherman's feminism makeup characteristics had the characteristics of typistic femininity. She expresses her female identity through the image of a powerless and shabby woman by turning herself from a young movie star to an old woman. Fourth, Cindy Sherman's feminism makeup characteristics express the characteristics of detachment with ugly beauty. Such makeup is unstable in shape, and there are many distorted or modified images, but Cindy Sherman's selfies also showed this ugly look of herself. Fifth, Cindy Sherman's feminism makeup is bizarre and gives grotesque horror in the form of witches or vampires. Witches and vampires, who lack femininity, expressed feminism not in the image of women obedient to patriarchal men, but rather in horror. Sixth, Cindy Sherman's characteristic of feminism makeup is to portray herself as a clown or a clown, or a clown, to represent a caricature. Sherman's clown series is already well known for its makeup that shows feminism in women. The clown always smiles in the costume, but the inner figure symbolizes the repressed and sad woman herself and is an expression of Sherman's own image.
