Adorn yourself. Cultural critic and poet Eileen G'Sell joins Skylight's Keila Cone-Uemura to about her new book in the Object Lessons series, Lipstick. They discuss perceptions of beauty in social contexts, in political contexts, and in pop culture. How is Chappell Roan's use of makeup a cultural subversion? What makes "Mar-a-Lago face" such an unsettling phenomenon? These questions and more are explored.
