Throughout time women have been taught to be beautiful. To be brave. To be fierce.
Throughout time women have also been introduced to the press.
The Hollywood stars. The pressure to be perfect.
The perfect combination has been twisted for girls to have the thought process that if in fact if I do my best to look "perfect" then I will be considered beautiful. That society will accept me.
So how exactly is it that we are taught to become beautiful?
Some companies suggest that maybe we are born with beauty or maybe that it's their products making us their image of beautiful. Others lets us know in order to be "easy, breezy, and beautiful" we must use their products to be their version of beautiful. The list goes on.
So what does this all mean?
Everything we surround ourselves with tells us that our beauty is created by products we use. That the way we're accepted in society is covering ourselves in powders, coating our lashes and glossing our lips.
But how does a line above our eye determine if we're beautiful or not?
It doesn't.
Project Bare is a photography project that sets out to show the bliss that comes from within.
It is created to show the small wrinkles by our eyes that show we're happy when we smile.
It is created to show the imperfections on our skin that makes us real people.
It is created to show the bare beauty.
