The project "Beauty Warriors" is a photo series featuring strange looking beauty gadgets. I found them on eBay and most of these beauty products are made in China. These new gadgets promise instant cure without surgical intervention. They are much cheaper than plastic surgeries and botulin injections and if you believe in it, they might work!

To be successful, you must be perfect and have a perfect body—these are our society’s rules, which we all follow without even realizing how ridiculous the beauty standards are. We often forget about the importance of inner and natural beauty.

Models for this project are my friends, family and volunteers found with the help of social media.

This beauty trends project was part of my coursework. I am studying Contemporary Art and Contextualised Practice BA(Hons) at the University of Highlands and Islands, in Inverness, Scotland.
