Kicking off the new year, the New York Times, on January 2, 2013, invited seven people to talk about make-up. That’s right, the paper of record invited scholars, authors, bloggers, and makeup artists to write about “the power of the rouge pot” for its opinion page. The Select Seven were to address the question, “does it [make-up] ultimately damage a woman’s self-esteem, or elevate it?”
That’s a question about the wearer of the make-up. What I wonder about are the people making the judgments and dishing out the advice.
