Summary:
The unexpected and often positive ways that beauty shapes our lives. For decades, we've discussed our insecurities in the face of idealized, retouched, impossibly perfect images. We've worried primping and preening are a distraction and a trap. But have we focused too much on beauty's negative influence? Journalist
Autumn
Whitefield-Madrano xamines the relationship between appearance and science, social media, sex, friendship, language, and advertising to show how beauty affects us. She reveals surprising findings, that wearing makeup can actually relax you, that you can convince people you're better looking just by tweaking your personality, and the ways beauty can be a powerful tool of connection among women.
