College: Brightpoint Community College
Faculty mentor: David B. Stern
Project summary: Research suggests that there may be striking comparisons and similarities in the cosmetics industry over the past century. In this paper, we question the differences between the “ideal face” era and modern-day cosmetics, and also how the contributions of Max Factor have affected the cosmetic application of women generations later.
