Beskrivning

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.From Revlon to Glossier, from Marilyn to Gaga, lipstick is as shape-shifting and unwieldy as femininity itself. Who wears lipstick today – as a matter of routine? And for those who do, is it out of obligation to a strict feminine standard, or some other reason entirely? Lipstick reconsiders the beauty world’s most conspicuous – and contentious – tool of artifice. Tossing expired ideas about femininity like so many tubes of melting wax, Lipstick explores how self-adornment can be a source of play, pleasure, and transformation, as well as how lipstick can knock gender norms off balance.

Recensioner i media

Foundation conceals. Mascara enhances. But lipstick? Lipstick transforms. That's the premise of Eileen G'Sell's brilliant ode to the most conspicuous of cosmetics ... A rousing manifesto.
