Mexican graphic artist creates a Barbie without makeup
A Mexican graphic designer creates mock up of a makeup-less Barbie to prove “nobody is perfect.”
Eddi Aguirre, a designer from Mexico created a sketch of what Barbie
would look like without makeup to illustrate a makeup feature for a
magazine.In the sketch, Aguirre depicted a Barbie with freckles, bags
over and under her eyes, frizzy hair, shiny skin and braces.
The designer uploaded the project to his online portfolio with the following description:
“An image used in a special makeup feature for the new magazine shows Barbie before and after makeup (nobody is perfect).”
Over the past couple of years there has been a growing initiative to
showcase natural beauty. In 2010 Marie Claire magazine had a spread with
a makeup-less Jessica Simpson and last week, Mariah Carey joined the
many celebrities who tweet makeup-free photos of themselves.The image of Barbie’s au naturel look has been dubbed refreshing as it reminds people the doll is an unrealistic role model for young girls.
