Makeup has always been more than just blush and lipstick — it's been protest, performance, identity, survival, and seduction.
In this episode of Calladitas, we peel back the powdery layers of history to explore how makeup has shaped — and been shaped by — society. From ancient Egyptian kohl to the red lips of war-time resilience, and from the 90s skinny brow to today's glazed-doughnut skin obsession… we ask:
¿Quién decide lo que es bello?
Who gets to wear it, and who gets judged for it?
We’ll talk:
The origins of iconic beauty rituals
When makeup was scandalous (and when it was power)
How race, class, and gender shaped access to beauty
The way Latina and BIPOC communities have always reinvented trends
And of course… our own makeup fails and favorite go-to looks 💋
Whether you're a full-face glam queen or bare-faced and thriving, this one’s for you.
