The Face of the Century
By Kate de Castelbajac


"Our second skin in its many and varied forms, makeup serves as erotic flag, as a social history, as a political battlefield, as fashion, and as morality. As the symbol of psychological and philosophical search for that most nebulous and elusive defintition - the meaning of beauty - makeup portrays nothing else than the face of the century."
-Kate de Castelbajac, Boston, 1995
