Model Charli Howard launches Squish Beauty with cute, inclusive

Model, writer and anti body-shaming activist Charli Howard, 28, has added one other string to her bow with the launch of Squish Beauty. The primary drop of playful cherry-shaped eye and cheek masks, flower-shaped pimples patches, and a transparent lip gloss is presented by a beautifully diverse group of models, including Munroe Bergdorf, Jillian Mercado and, after all, Charli herself. Inspired by her own experiences with sensitive skin as a teen, Charli got down to create a brand that focuses on embracing ‘flaws’ as a substitute of hiding them. “From day one, I wanted to make use of role models with real skin in my brand images – girls with pimples, girls with scars, girl with cellulite – but who've voices and...

Billie Eilish opens up about being sexualised and having

The media (read: men) have an issue with sexualising young girls in the general public eye. In her first speech as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, Emma Watson detailed how she was sexualised by the press from the age of 14. When talking on the Women’s March last 12 months, Natalie Portman recounted how male critics would describe her “budding breasts” as a pre-teen actress and the local radio station that had a countdown to her 18th birthday. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would experience the identical countdown a couple of years later. This aspect of our culture is a component of the reasoning that goes into Billie Eilish’s now-signature baggy style. “I never want the world to know every part about me. I...

SFX artist Mab’s work is a comment on women’s

The Dazed Beauty Community is our ever-expanding encyclopaedia of creatives and emerging talent from internationally who're redefining the way in which we take into consideration beauty. From supermodels to digital artists to make-up prodigies transforming themselves of their bedrooms, these are the wonder influencers of tomorrow who embody all the things Dazed Beauty is about. Discover them here. Most of SFX airbrush artist Mab’s work involves in-your-face hypersexual depictions of ladies’s bodies. Butt cheeks become anime titties, Striplink-inspired lingerie, and skin-tight coochie cutters airbrushed onto naked skin are all common features in her portfolio. It’s work that's so over-exaggeratedly sexual that it becomes satire, a way of ridiculing how women’s bodies are so often depicted as sexual objects. “The overarching message...

Meme tattoos and the rise of post-ironic body art

Post-ironic tattoos10 Images “Yeah sex is great but Fortnite” – a funny meme, possibly, but would you will have it permanently inked in your skin? For some, the reply is a resounding yes. Because, despite being raised on Kim Kardashian’s forewarning words, ‘you wouldn’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley’, Gen Z are one in all the most inked generations. And in contrast to the earnest and symbolic designs favoured by Millennials – infinity signs, plant pots, love hearts etc – they're taking a more ironic approach to their ink, with tattoos that seem like memes lifted straight off your Instagram grid. The brainchild of brain rot, ironic tattoos resemble the relics of 2009 memes and shitposting spiel you’d find on...
