These film stills explore identities. There are many questions about identities in society, these questions are not only related to individuals who may have a gender dysphoria but to all men and women. The history of cosmetics and make up goes back to very early stages of human culture. It was worn by men and women, sometimes to distinguish tribes and cultures, sometimes to enhance beauty. It has only become 'must have extension' for women in recent times. Women are expected to wear make up almost every occasion in life whereas men are not allowed make up at all.
