'Make up girls'

Working on a performance piece about the process, the ritual of the woman putting her daily make-up on. Have used other women (to see how this changes, enhance's or detract's from my work) and myself, filming each one with webcam so that they can see themselves whilst being filmed, i wanted it to be face to camera so this seemed the best option to use webcam. I'm looking at why we wear make-up, is it for ourselves or is it to fit in with societies view of what a woman should be, beautiful in the eyes of man? Obviously the beauty industry is huge and we are fed with countless images of what we should be striving for, the perfect woman....i'm still figuring out what i'm really looking at and have many questions to ask and to answer for myself....ongoing!!
