Why Are ‘Pretty Privilege’ People Considered More Trustworthy

‘Pretty privilege’: attractive people considered more trustworthy, research confirms. What makes a person beautiful has fascinated artists and scientists for centuries. Beauty is not, as it is often assumed to be, “in the eye of the beholder” – but follows certain predictable rules. Symmetry and proportions play a role, and though culture and norms shape our perception of beauty, researchers observe a consistently striking agreement among people on whom they regard as beautiful. Not surprisingly the beauty market has been on a steady rise (besides a minor 2020 Covid slump), reaching $430 billion in revenue in 2023, according to a recent McKinsey report. The fascination for the perfect makeup or skincare is fired up by the impact of perfect faces displayed on social media and enhanced b...

Dove’s Anti-AI Stance

Dove’s latest ‘Real Beauty’ drive – and why AI will be harder to ditch than it thinks. Beauty brand Dove recently announced it would not use models generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in its advertising campaigns. But is this really an anti-AI stance or merely the marketing of “inclusive” and “realistic” AI-generated images? In other words, is Dove attempting to shape the beauty ideals AI shows consumers, rather than ditching its use entirely? Dove’s owner Unilever is one of the world’s largest multinational, fast-moving consumer goods companies. But the values of the brands it owns vary dramatically, as highlighted by legal action that Ben & Jerry’s brought against Unilever to object to its ice cream being “sold in the occupied Palestinian Territory”. The lawsuit was settled...

A Black Dandy In Paris

Meet Paris’ black dandies, the Sapeurs. You can spot them in the streets of Paris or at fashion events in London, Milan, Brussels or Dubai. Most are black African men with sharp outfits designed and chosen to get them noticed. Known as “Sapeurs” – the name comes from the Society for Ambience and Elegance (Sape) and from French slang “se saper”, “to dress up” – these figures stand out with their offbeat and baroque sartorial style. Genesis and evolution Research by ethnologists and historians indicates that the movement was born in Central Africa, likely at the port of Bacongo, the river that separates the two Congos, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo Republic, North of the river) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo, South side). The subculture got its star...

5 Hairstyles To Flatteringly Fit 5 Face Shapes

Bangs, in fact, are often key to a face-flattering hairstyle Everyone has a general face shape, and learning which hairstyles flatter facial contours is a professional’s priority. The Salon Professional Academy in Shorewood, Illinois, teaches - in its “Ultimate Face Shape Guide” - suggested cuts for specific facial types: 1. Oval: Forehead is wider than chin; long blunt cut with bangs. 2.

Makeup Tips And Tricks For Women Over 40

Don’t continue applying the same makeup techniques learned in middle and high school. Many women dread their over-40 birthdays due to aging effects evident in the bathroom mirror, but beauty experts placate with a plethora of makeup tricks.
