And is that science even legitimate? Or is it just another ploy by the $445 billion cosmetics industry to get you to buy more products? This week Danielle digs into the history of makeup advertising to find out. --- Written and Hosted by: Danielle Bainbridge Produced by: Complexly for PBS Digital Studios --- Follow us on... Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/originofeverythingpbs/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pbsoriginofeverything/?hl=en --- Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started!
