A viral video featuring some of the world’s biggest celebrities dramatically removing what appears to be a glamorous “mask” has sparked an online conversation about beauty standards.
The clip featured stars including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Adele, Nicki Minaj, and others, dressed in sparkling gowns and full red-carpet makeup, before revealing more natural versions of themselves beneath.
While the transformation is clearly designed for dramatic effect, it quickly got people talking about how much makeup shapes public perceptions of beauty and whether society has become too dependent on polished appearances.
