The article, “Size zero, high-end ethnic: Cultural production and the reproduction of culture in the fashion modeling,” exemplifies the high expectations of modeling for other racially models in ways that explain how producers in the modeling industry, weigh their decisions on two analytically liked issues such as body types and racial exclusion. Mears argues a valid point illustrating how darker skinned toned females that are chosen to walk in the runways exemplify the opposite to the normatively white female body. She states, “Content analyses of fashion media consistently show that darker skinned women have and continue to be posed and styled in exotic juxtaposition to the normatively white female body, if they are included in fashion at all” (Mears, 24).

Since they went public in 2007 ULTA has faced some declines in stock prices and faced management changes ULTA has maintained a steady rise in stock prices. This is a good company to invest in for the short term because they have a strong consumer base and has maintained their name in the beauty industry. As for a long term investment potential investors should keep a watch on the stock and the management systems. When this stabilizes I believe ULTA will be a strong contender for long-term as well as short-term investments. Bibliography AP News.…

According to Berns, Barton, and Kerby, “Currently women account for 47 percent of the labor force… This is a major increase from 1950, when women represented just 29.6 percent of the workforce” (Berns, Barton, & Kerby, 2012, Women, para. 1). Due to the changing of their target demographics women make up a large part of the workforce today, and by producing an ad telling them that they can succeed the majority of women will feel that COVERGIRL supports them.…

Behind the Mask Insecurity is the lack of self-confidence or assurance in oneself. Many women experience insecurities because they do not feel good enough for someone or pretty enough for society. Many examples in these two stories, Mascara and Purse, shows how girls are tricked into being something they are not in order to fit in. Girls will do anything and everything to make them feel better about themselves and others. Most people do not even notice girls have insecurities because they hide them so well.…
Imagine this; Crowds of people coming in to buy products, happier and more satisfied customers, making more profit, and people promoting your products. This can all happen if some things change. I am a huge fan of makeup, I own many of the eyeshadow palettes and makeup items your store sells at the Sephora in Westminster, Colorado but for the past few months, when I go into a Sephora your store seems to always be out of most things. I get you need to get more shipments, but I have been trying to get my hands on some things from Anastaia for months and the location I go to never has them. You guys are a great company though, I only shop at Sephora for makeup because your employees are friendly with service and try your best to always look for what I need.…
These women have slender noses, average sized lips and some have coloured eyes (norm of European beauty). Jourdan Dunn told the Guardian last year, "people in the industry say if you have a black face on the cover of a magazine it won 't sell". Black doesn’t sell because it isn’t seen as beautiful. African Americans ' obsession and affirmation of "light skin" and "good hair" is Example: African features are beautiful on white women and not black women because black is ugly. Kim Kardashian and Iggy Azealia get plastic surgery to enhance their butt size, Kylie Jenner gets plastic surgery to enhance the size of her lips.…
On February 7, 2017, I created my makeup profile to share my talent and ideas, get clients and entertain my followers. Creating a social media profile makes the brain do creative and critical thinking. I wanted to succeed in this profile and I hoped that this would be my way out of the college route. So I thought, mostly every makeup profile starts with “MakeupBy”, and then their name.…
My target market is working women of upper-middle-class because they have enough money to spend a higher amount of money on cosmetics and jewelry vs the working class. The more money an individual has the more likely they are to make jewelry purchases. When speaking about cosmetics women don’t mind spending good money on makeup once they find a product that works for them. High end cosmetics are preferred more often than not due to being longer lasting, and having more color depth which are some features lacking in drug store brands. My target gender is women although men do spend money on jewelry and makeup.…
People have been using makeup since the middle ages due to religious rituals and culture. Makeup is used primarily now for completely other reasons, to enhance the beauty of people. Catch a celebrity without makeup and you will be appalled. Now, women are dependent on makeup due to beauty purposes rather than cultural. Reason is, makeup has the ability to make someone look more attractive in as simple as the stroke of a brush and you can actually buy a variety of make up for just under 10$. Of course, there are different types of make ups,high end , low end.…
