88: How the Beauty Industry Fuels Overconsumption with Miss America 2014 Nina Davuluri
If anyone knows about the underbelly of the beauty industry, it's Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri.
Nina's documentary COMPLEXion (available on Prime Video) sheds a light on her personal experience with colorism, which led to a deeper dive into international beauty standards and how companies create new insecurities just to get us to buy more and more stuff.
The intersection of the beauty industry and overconsumption can't be ignored. Today's episode allows for nuance - no shaming ourselves or others for partaking in the beauty world - while shedding important light onto what's really going on behind the scenes.
