The cosmetic industry really took off in the 1950s.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women in the 1950s were so much sexier. That's what I aspire to look like.
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
The world loves the 1950s.
I don't think there were great beauty trends in the '90s - I was just doing my own thing.
I don't want the technology of the 1950s, but I want the free market of the 1950s.
I am a product of the 1950s.
We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It's all a beautiful £1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates.
After I grew some facial hair, I looked a bit older, and I guess that's what the modeling world wanted because I started booking more luxury brands.
I entered the cosmetics industry because I wanted more women to use cosmetics made with safe, healthful ingredients.
I started the cosmetics in 1994 after I stopped modeling, out of my frustration as a woman of color not finding what I needed.
