#suschallenge of today (it’s been a while) is not ugly at all. I was looking for photos of girls with bigger noses, cause don’t y’all get tired of the same face over and over around Pinterest and Instagram? Can we just celebrate bigger noses?? In fact, I was looking for big noses AND thin lips, but turns out you can only have one. Pinterest has NO interest in showcasing women who have both, so just pick one and “fix” the other. Also, let’s talk about the fact that when you search for big nose girls, a lot of “before” images come up. Like, wtf? And thin lips, the only results that come up is how to make your lips look fuller. . I know, I know. Pinterest just follows the trends. People are the ones who put the content in there. But, damn. That is concerning. Aren’t you concerned? . I never thought I had as many ugly features as these days. And I grew up pretty much feeling quite unattractive, which was (still is) the norm. But now, this current beauty standard just tells you straight what is wrong with your appearance (and how you to fix it, just search the number of teenagers having fillers - swipe). And even though I’m older and wiser, I sometimes fall into the trap of self hatred and hunting for flaws. Fuck that. Young girls will turn out such unhappy grown women with extremely low self-esteem, and that is exactly society’s plan. Doesn’t it trouble you? . . . #bignose #bignosegirl #thinlips #beautystandards #beautyindustry #toxicbeauty #beautyobsessed #beautyjunkie #drawingchallenge #daniellepioli https://www.instagram.com/p/CUP19koAvV1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Toxic Beauty (2019)

Documentaries are tricky to review. Unless the subject is human, the goal is to influence or inspire you, to illuminate you on an important subject. This makes most documentaries “important” in the same way the news is important. A truly great documentary does more than present facts, however; the goal should also be to entertain. Toxic Beauty doesn’t have much of a visual identity. It doesn’t try anything new but the information it’s divulging is relevant and shocking. Watching it might even save your life.

Directed by Phyllis Ellis, this Canadian picture explores the topic of beauty products. Women apply them every day, never suspecting the creams, powders, lotions, makeup and soaps may have long-term side effects. While University medical student Mymy Nguyen measures the number of chemicals in her body, we follow a class action lawsuit against corporate giant Johnson & Johnson.

This is a female-oriented film. Obviously, makeup issues are more relevant to women than men. Most of the people interviewed are women and the big villain - J&J’s Baby/Talcum Powder - is shown to cause ovarian cancer. I don't believe in any global misogynist conspiracies but there are A LOT of little things who have aligned themselves perfectly. Our society bombards us with images of beautiful, light-skinned, blonde-haired women. Unable to meet these outrageous standards, women are pressured to reach for lipstick and eyeshadow. Cultures develop around the beauty products we purchase. We come to love them, never second-guessing why. Women of colour are particularly vulnerable to the long-term effects of skin-lighteners. Those are messed-up even before we get to the chemical compounds within them. It becomes clear with each story; big companies - almost all of which are led by men - know their products are harmful to women and their children (so men, don’t think you’re safe). By the time you realize something's wrong with the model, they’ve changed the formula and you’ve got six months to live.

The film takes itself very seriously and employs the usual bag of tricks. Black-and-white archival footage, a tragic score of violins, pianos, and xylophones, a lot of victims and specialists talking about how dire the situation is. It’s nothing you haven’t seen before and once you know what the movie has to say, there’s not much reason to watch it again. Toxic Beauty has good intentions but not much personality. In this case, it doesn’t matter. It got chills numerous times and once home, I looked at some of the products I use every day. I was mortified and thanks to Toxic Beauty intend on making lifestyle changes.

If you missed Toxic Beauty in theaters you don’t need to lose any sleep. I would, however, strongly encourage you to view it out once it becomes available to you. The content is upsetting and frightening. If you aren’t already concerned about what kind of chemicals you’re layering on your face, you should be. Toxic Beauty clearly illustrates why. (Theatrical version on the big screen, September 9, 2019)
