Two short films about beauty.

Lernert & Sander's "Natural Beauty"

365 days of makeup in one day - is an interesting video - 365 days of makeup in one go... I'm not quite sure where it leads but that absence of purpose should be celebrated more anyway.

Liked the top rated comment as well (which does not share the joy of ambiguity) ::
"Okay, so half of you viewers aren't getting the point of the title Natural Beauty, or even the video. This whole video is meant to show girls how much makeup they are caking on their faces over a year. The model looked gorgeous fresh faced, hence NATURAL BEAUTY, and when each layer of the makeup was applied, she lost that NATURAL BEAUTY. So, point being, girls: YOU are BEAUTIFUL without all the makeup you buy, you apply. Yes, it's okay to want to feel pretty, yes it's okay to wear the occasiona - itssdani"

"Abstract Expressionism" by Lisa Rovner

which is really simply about how beautiful (and hard) it is too just look at faces (which I relate to a lot.)

Aspiring actress Sarah Liisborg inhabits the role of voyeuristic neighbor in Lisa Rovner’s short Abstract Expressionism, her nuanced reactions hinting at the risqué payoff of eavesdropping. “The film is about initiating the viewer as an active participant rather than merely a consumer,” says Rovner, a Franco-American writer and artist based in Paris. Rovner invited Liisborg to star in the piece after spotting her at the APC boutique in the Marais, where Liisborg works as a sales assistant. “The film started with my fascination with Sarah's face, of wanting to record that pure beauty," she explains. The director read three texts aloud to her muse while capturing her reactions: Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, a recording of Judy Garland recounting her feminist leanings, and a love letter by erotic writer and performer David Piper. In the end, it was Piper’s musings that resulted in the most provocative cinema. Previewed above, the film will be presented in full for Rovner’s debut solo exhibition in New York, Dear Reader, on view at No. 10 Gallery beginning July 12th.
