Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Ad Campaign for Boots No7 Makeup
Check out this campaign for Boots No 7 makeup featuring award winning Nigerian author and self-acclaimed feminist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In the ad she talks about how she came to embrace makeup. I think it's so wonderful that this makeup brand recognised a writer as an influencer because her influence cuts across various age groups.
What do you think of her message? I personally have gone through various phases with my relationship with makeup - from wanting to try it all to appreciating subtle looks. I've never totally boycotted makeup. There was always lipgloss or powder. I wish people would also see makeup as just makeup but the reality is that lots of people still judge a book by its cover and make assumptions about women based on how they wear makeup. Are there two sides to this?

| In this poster she's wearing a dress that looks very similar to the Duro Olowu brocade dress Lupita Nyong' O wore recently. |
Women are judged by every single thing, it's exhausting. Anyway this is a great campaign and her makeup looks good!! <3

Loved everything she said. People do judge women who wear makeup, some call them fake or plastic which I find ridiculous. As she said, makeup is just makeup and if wearing it makes me happy why shouldn't I? xx

I agree with all she'she's said.
ReplyDeleteYou should feel good wearing make up but make up should be the reason you are happy. I'm such a fan of Chimamanda, she really is inspirational
