For centuries, philosophers, scientists, and artists have tried to decode beauty. The need to distil its ethereal essence into something finite and to idealize certain features created some of the first beauty standards in history. Such standards endured through the generations. Until now, that is. In recent years, the beauty industry has shifted the conversation towards individual expression like never before. The New Beauty captures an essential moment of transformation in the business of beauty. Featuring interviews with Peter Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup, and Thomas de Kluyver, global makeup artist for Gucci, as well as some of the most influential voices in beauty today, this book is exploring the industry’s shift and its effect on today’s culture from historical, scientific, and journalistic perspectives.
