Make-up and rebellion

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

In countries like Somalia and Iran, where women are largely expected to present themselves with modesty, what role can make-up play? Bella Hassan of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Focus on Africa is from Somalia and Mina Joshaghani of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Persian is from Iran. They tell us about how make-up functions in a conservative society. Produced by Caroline Ferguson and Hannah Dean. (Photo: Faranak Amidi. Credit: Tricia Yourkevich)
