Mirror, Mirror on the Wall (Female Beauty Ideals)

Description

The torturous waist-shaping corset of the Victorian era… The bright green eye shadow of the '70s… Prompted both by fashion trends and by cultural norms, women tend to adopt the prescribed beauty ideals of their times. The 20th century saw milestone achievements in beauty culture - from the first plastic surgeries in the '20s, to the portable metal lipstick container, to the aerobics craze of the '80s. This episode is about changing looks and the industries that accommodate the drive for physical perfection.
