Annie Leibovitz
In this image we can see Meryl Streep with extravagant makeup and she is pulling the skin on her face. Meryl Streep is a famous actress and singer, she is looked on by the public eye constantly and is looked up to by people inspiring to be her. Actresses have to play different roles constantly, this could relate to the fact that she is pulling her face around, she is imitating how she feels going from role to role. Another meaning that can be linked to this image is that make-up is just a mask and it doesn't always make us look good. The fact that she has a pale face can show that she feels drained as she is forced to look a certain way just because she is a celebrity.
I think Annie Leibovitz was trying to display a different side to Meryl Streep that we don't normally see normally. She isn't wearing tons of nice make-up or nice clothes and her hair isn't styled. It tells us that what we see on the TV or in the magazines shouldn't be what we judge the person on.
In this image we can see a girl with extravagant make-up. The outlines on her face show the stereotypical way that people apply make-up by contouring and highlighting, the outcome of these methods is to make your face look chiseled and certain areas stand out more, practically changing your whole face. I emphasised on this because in normal pictures of girls you see her with a full face of make-up instead of what they actually go through to achieve the way they look. This can relate to the pressures of wearing make-up and wearing it in the correct way or the way that everyone else does. The picture relates to Annie Leibovitz's photo because they both bring very similar meanings to the table. They both spread that there is pressure to look a certain way with make-up and without make-up.
Very good Hannahf
