Beauty is skin deep, they say, but that belies what a profound influence it has on our perceptions of each other and ourselves. Once a thing of mystery, the techniques on creating the perfect face have been opened up with the arrival of the internet and the thousands of make-up tutorials being uploaded there. From the Kardashians to YouTube advice on how to repair damaged skin, these lessons reveal how deeply our appearance matters, and how diverse the idea of beauty really is – our photo shoot here is just one expression of this.
