MAC-up
I read this article today in the Chicago Tribune and found it rather interesting:Ethnicity plays a role in beauty habits
While some of the results were pretty obvious, it was interesting to see the statistics/breakdowns:
Asian: The most likely to use sunscreen and after-sun products. They also are most likely to use facial moisturizers, cleansers and lip-care products. In color cosmetics, Asians are the most likely to use bronzers and shimmer sticks every day.
Hispanic: The leaders in everyday use of mascara, blush, eyeliner and lipstick.
Black: The most frequent wearers of lip gloss and fragrance.
White: The most frequent users of foundation, with 43 percent of Caucasian makeup wearers using foundation every day.I wonder what the survey would be like if it was more narrow and looked at particular communities such as South Asian women. Just from my observations, I'd say South Asian women are more likely to use foundation, lip-care products, eyeliner, and mascara.
What do you think? Plus do you think it's hard to find a good shade of brown for all of us when we're searching for foundations/cover-ups? I find mixing different shades helps. I guess, much like our personal diversities, no one shade that can truly cover up our physical ones!!
