Kylie Jenner, Fecal Matter and Salvija – Expanding on Beauty.

As I am exploring facial alteration on Instagram, the best place to start is Kylie Jenner for Dazed Beauty. This was created by an algorithm and fans took to her Instagram comments to voice their discern and disgust for the image although this is a digitally manipulated image and Jenner does not present herself this way in real life.

Fecal Matter are duo who I have explored prior to this, physically play with social aesthetic constructs and dress their identity using mainly make up and prosthetics.

“This is not a costume, this is me,”

“The relationships that humans have with material possessions is something that we are trying to play with.”

“Issues like gender and our relationship are dealt with by what we wear,”

Finally, Salvjia does a similar thing to Fecal Matter but she uses predominantly more digital editing. “She has become the pinnacle of alt-beauty on Instagram with her outlandish, avant-garde makeup and clothing using editing software to create this new-worldly aesthetic.”

Salvia did the entire make up direction for Rick Owens FW19 show
