While “skin is in”, what goes on behind the glamour of makeup tutorials and the beauty reviews may not be quite so pretty.All that glitters isn’t gold. Behind the facade of bronzers, blushes, and concealers, the beauty community continues to face problems of inclusivity, copyright infringements, and the authenticity of beauty influencers and their paid-for reviews.
Next, billionaire mogul Kylie Jenner’s own cosmetics line was not spared. Jenner has been accused of stealing their ideas and copying the visuals of various lesser-known artists including the work of Los Angeles-based makeup artist Vlada Haggerty. According to Refinery29, Vlada expressed her dismay about the theft of her work, which Lip Kit By Kylie later added “inspo by @vladamua” within the caption before it was swiftly deleted. Vlada Haggerty then sued Kylie Jenner in 2016 for copyright infringement before Jenner’s legal team eventually settled the lawsuit in January 2017.
According to statistics from the UN Environment Programme, over 120 billion cosmetic packages are produced annually, with a staggering 79 percent ending up in landfills or as pollutants in our natural ecosystems. The complex nature of beauty packaging is at the heart of the issue, not just the sheer volume of waste but the small, mixed-material designs that are notoriously difficult to recycle.
