Professional Versus Self-Applied Makeup: Do Makeup Artists Add Value?

While a number of studies have investigated the effects of makeup on how people are perceived, the vast majority have used professionally applied makeup. Here, we tested the hypothesis that professional makeup is more effective than self-applied makeup. We photographed the same target women under controlled conditions wearing no makeup, makeup they applied themselves, and makeup applied by professional makeup artists. Participants rated the faces as appearing more attractive, more feminine, and as having higher status when wearing professional makeup than self-applied makeup. Secondarily, we found that participants perceived the professional makeup as appearing heavier and less natural looking than the self-applied makeup. This work shows that professional makeup is more effective than self-applied makeup and begins to elucidate the nature of makeup artistry. We discuss these findings with respect to personal decoration and physical attractiveness, as well as the notion of artists as experts.

NORMA: The Network Makeup Artist — A Web Tool for Network Annotation Visualization

The Network Makeup Artist (NORMA) is a web tool for interactive network annotation visualization and topological analysis, able to handle multiple networks and annotations simultaneously. Precalculated annotations (e.g., Gene Ontology, Pathway enrichment, community detection, or clustering results) can be uploaded and visualized in a network, either as colored pie-chart nodes or as color-filled areas in a 2D/3D Venn-diagram-like style. In the case where no annotation exists, algorithms for automated community detection are offered. Users can adjust the network views using standard layout algorithms or allow NORMA to slightly modify them for visually better group separation. Once a network view is set, users can interactively select and highlight any group of interest in order to generate publication-ready figures. Briefly, with NORMA, users can encode three types of information simultaneously. These are 1) the network, 2) the communities or annotations of interest, and 3) node categories or expression values. Finally, NORMA offers basic topological analysis and direct topological comparison across any of the selected networks. NORMA service is available at http://norma.pavlopouloslab.info, whereas the code is available at https://github.com/PavlopoulosLab/NORMA.

A Study on the Digital Makeup Design Using Retro Characteristics

As a new post-COVID-19 trend, non-contact digital technologies have been applied to various fields. This study attempted to create digital makeup styles based on retro design characteristics according to the new trends in the digital culture, using Adobe Photoshop CC2020, a tablet PC, and a stylus pen after scanning model photos. The retro design characteristics were categorized into retro, romantic, ethnic, and Kitsch aspects, and the results found the following: In the retro aspect, retro makeup styles from the 1990s were reproduced by recalling memories. In the romantic style, elegant and feminine romanticism was expressed. From an ethnic perspective, ethnic makeup styles were created with liberal and passionate colors mixing indigenous and oriental images. In terms of Kitsch, makeup styles were created entertainingly through the free expression of inner emotions, using anti-aesthetic and playful painting techniques. The above results confirmed the characteristics and importance of retro design. This study was able to maximize the effects of works by taking advantage of retro styles characteristics. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate identical makeup using data on an actual model. Considering the current trends, digital content is expected to spread around the globe. Therefore, the suggestion of creative design by makeup artists would further broaden makeup-related fields. It is anticipated that this study would be a starting point for expanding creative and unique designs and the styling sectors.

Who's Behind the Makeup? The Effects of Varying Levels of Cosmetics Application on Perceptions of Facial Attractiveness, Competence, and Sociosexuality.

Research has demonstrated a positive effect of makeup on facial attractiveness (Cash et al., 1989; Russell, 2003; Etcoff et al., 2011). Makeup has also been found to influence social perceptions (Etcoff et al., 2011; Klatt et al., 2016). While researchers have typically compared faces with makeup to faces without makeup, we propose that perceived effects will differ based on the amount of makeup that is applied. To test the effects of varying levels of makeup on perceived facial attractiveness, competence, and sociosexuality, participants assessed 35 faces with no makeup, light makeup, and heavy makeup; makeup was self-applied by participants, not applied by a makeup artist or the experimenter. Participants rated faces with makeup (either light or heavy) as more competent than those without makeup. In addition, participants rated faces with heavy makeup as significantly higher in attractiveness and sociosexuality than faces with light makeup. These results differ from previous research findings that faces with light makeup (applied by professional makeup artists) are perceived as most attractive. Our results suggest that when makeup is self-applied, faces with heavy makeup are perceived as more attractive and sociosexual than faces with light makeup, and faces with any level of makeup are rated as more competent.

Developing an Artificial Intelligence (A.I)-based descriptor of facial appearance that fits with the assessments of makeup experts.

To develop an A.I-based automatic descriptor that detects and grades, from selfie pictures, 23 facial signs, hairs included, as a help to making-up procedures. The selfie images taken in very different conditions by 3326 women and men were used to create (90% of dataset) and validate (10% of dataset) a new algorithm architecture to appraise and grade 23 different facial signs such as lips, nose, eye color, eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair color as defined by makeup artists. Each selfie image was annotated by 12 experts and defined references to train Artificial Intelligence (A.I)-based algorithm. As some the 23 signs present a continuous or discontinuous feature, these were analyzed by two different statistical approaches. The results provided by the automatic descriptor system were not only in good agreement with the expert's assessments but were even found of a better precision and reproducibility. This automatic descriptor system has proven a good and robust accuracy despite the very variable conditions in the acquisition of selfie pictures. Such automatic descriptor system seems providing a valuable help in making-up procedures and may extend to other activities such as Skincare or Haircare. As such it should allow large investigations to better evaluate the consumers' needs of esthetical improvements.

Into the odditorium: A pedagogy of the body at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and in popular media

For the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago, a cartoonist named Robert Ripley would create his first odditorium, a public archive of his personal collection of curiosities. While Ripley was not the first to capitalize on the display of “exotic” and “monstrous” curios, his odditoriums illuminate pervasive ideas about human difference circulating in public discourse in the early twentieth century. The odditorium and the freak show are seemingly anachronistic phenomena, but the forums and yearnings for “oddities” still surface in popular culture today: the proliferation of podcasts that detail the lives of serial killers and cult leaders, the massive audiences drawn to viewing cystic acne popped in YouTube videos, and youth makeup artists who cover and uncover dermatological conditions with myriad skincare products and makeup in self-produced video tutorials. This paper will investigate odditoriums as a specific—and troubling—form of public pedagogy, shifting between readings of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in New York’s Times Square and the role of body-as-mannequin and haptic simulation in contemporary sites of popular learning.

‘We belong to something beautiful’: Julie Vu’s and Madeline Stuart’s use of minority identity as a popular feminist self-branding strategy on Instagram

ABSTRACT This article analyses the use of minority identity as a popular feminist self-branding strategy on Instagram. Zooming in on the internet celebrities, Julie Vu, a Canadian transgender model, beauty queen and makeup artist, and Madeline Stuart, an Australian photo/runway model with Down syndrome, we explore the ways in which they both engage in building and strengthening their self-branding practices by actively drawing on their own self-representational identity work as minorities. We situate Vu and Stuart within a framework of contemporary branding culture and popular feminism, and map their journeys as users of different social media platforms, as well as their locations within online celebrity categories, leading to an analysis of their current engagements with Instagram as their main self-branding platform. The article argues that minority identity, as it is expressed in the cases of Vu and Stuart, has become a significant, if not essential, element in the broader landscape of self-branding practices and strategies on social media.

Dick Smith (Makeup Artist)

Though Dick Smith (1922–2014) liked to doodle and draw in his youth, he “wasn’t a natural born artist.” He re-evaluated his career aspirations several times during his undergraduate years, ultimately deciding on makeup artist—not exactly a “safe” job prospect in the early 1940s. But in 1945 Smith became NBC’s first staff makeup artist, cultivating his skills during the early days of live television anthologies, and later adapting his techniques for film when he eventually entered the world of movie makeup in the 1970s. Jeff Kisseloff conducted the interview on May 15, 1996, in Sarasota, Florida.
