Critics Review
“This archive of the culture surrounding beauty ventures beyond a superficial exploration to study the industry through the lens of history, science, and media.” – SURFACE MAGAZINE
“New horizons: from make-up that blurs gender lines to hairstyles that strengthen identity bonds, from body positivity to wellness rituals as a form of self-care, Kari Molvar’s book is a visual journey through the change we are experiencing. (…) a freshly printed essay that arranges iconographic fragments to illuminate and understand the Zeitgeist” – VOGUE “Coffee table book The New Beauty captures the current zeitgeist in the beauty landscape. Where previously we felt pressure to live up to an ideal, now the focus is on the individual. (…) Highly recommended for anyone with any interest in the cosmetics industry.” – ELLE (NL)– “Elle, September 2021” “This archive of the culture surrounding beauty ventures beyond a superficial exploration to study the industry through the lens of history, science, and media.” – SURFACE MAGAZINE
