A visual journey into the past, present and future of human beautification in a globalized world.

Beauty may lie in the eye of the beholder, but what we consider to be beautiful has changed radically over the past 20 years. Today, originality is celebrated, authenticity is prized, and self-expression is flourishing. This book explores the evolution in our beauty ideals from ancient civilizations to the present moment, when urgent new conversations are rewriting the rules and shaping the future of the industry. From makeup’s role in challenging gender stereotypes, to the links between hairstyling and community building, or rituals and self-care, The New Beauty captures this essential shift in the way we see ourselves and each other.
