Paula Begoun over impact make-up trends in SATC

Beautygoeroe Paula Begoun is, zoals bijna alle vrouwen, een groot fan van Sex and the City. Maar ze geniet niet alleen van alle ingewikkelde romances en designerpumps in de serie, ze geniet ook van de typerende make-up looks die specifiek voor Carrie, Miranda, Samantha en Charlotte zijn uitgezocht. Paula zegt hierover in haar nieuwsbrief: ‘Whether we realize it or not, the makeup our favourite television characters wear directly and indirectly influences how we feel about them and how we compare them to ourselves.' Lees hier (in het Engels)  hoe de make-up de SATC-karakters versterkt.Dit zegt Paula Begoun erover in haar eigen nieuwsbrief: 

'Carrie, the narrator and central character, has a typically casual makeup style to complement her casual, tousled curly hair. Interestingly, when it's time to dress up and Carrie's hair becomes sleek and straight, her makeup almost always becomes stronger and more sophisticated–kind of like what a lot of women do in real life. Carrie is also striving to discover her identity and be taken seriously, especially when in emotional turmoil. It is notable that in these scenes, she typically is seen wearing minimal makeup, perhaps so she appears more vulnerable or earnest.'

'Samantha, the go-getter, man-crazy owner of her own public relations firm has the most trend-driven makeup. She's the one who often matches her lipstick to her outfit, and maintains a full makeup with equal emphasis on eyes and lips. Even during off-work, casual scenes, Samantha has the most makeup on, but it rarely looks overdone. She's a great example of how attitude can help women carry off any amount of makeup, but even more so when it is properly and proportionately applied! The only time we really see Samantha without her usual makeup is during her brief battle with breast cancer and when she has the flu.'

'Charlotte is the blue-blooded uptight socialite whose wardrobe consists of lots of classic, preppy, Ralph Lauren-style outfits or tailored, modest dresses. Her makeup remains consistent throughout the run of the show, tending toward an understated classic look that doesn't appear effortless but doesn't seem labor-intensive, either. Hers is the makeup that seems approachable but also a bit too perfect. You get the impression that a slight smudge of lipstick or flaking mascara would ruin her day because it's a flaw in her otherwise perfect projection of herself.'

'Miranda is the most professional among the foursome, and works in a law firm. Her clothing began as very masculine, but eventually softened to flattering work attire that was feminine but still conservative and professional. Her makeup remains the simplest of all the characters; you get the sense that she is the type of woman who doesn't have the time or desire to bother with it, at least not if it takes more than five minutes. Miranda's bare minimum approach often leaves her looking mousy compared to her friends, but her sarcasm, healthy yet pale skin tone, and red-to-strawberry blonde hair compensate; there are lots of ways to make a statement other than by relying on makeup or clothing.'
