For years, American women have had an interesting relationship with makeup…

While the current trend of using makeup as a beautiful form of art and self-expression can be incredibly empowering, women have had a long history of using makeup to conceal, fit in, cover up, and adhere to society’s impossible and ever-changing beauty standards.

This event is not to shame anyone for wearing makeup. Instead, we are going to take a closer look at some of the reasons women wear makeup, the pressures society places on us to be beautiful, and how makeup corporations have used deceptive marketing that preys on our insecurities to make their profits.

You’ll be in a room full of awesome women, in a safe and non-judgemental space in Brooklyn.

So let’s wipe away our insecurities together!

See you Saturday, August 12th!
