Mírame a los ojos
(Look Me in the Eyes)
creative & art direction
Historically, there is an underrepresentation of Chicana (Mexican-American) women and their influence on mainstream beauty ideals. This work recognizes the impact of Chicana women by integrating historical and modern beauty styles through hair, fashion, nails, and makeup.
This project explores the historical importance of Chicana women, a part of history that has been overlooked.
Researching for this project helped me connect on a deeper level to my own Chicana heritage.
