I'm sure if I had only read this one, I would probably love as opposed to like it, but the more obvious heart consciousness of the first book and the fiercely intelligent little watcher, interested me more. Chided for trying to learn things which are “above” the family all the time – “who do you think you are? Whichever is truer, the uses of borax and bicarbonate of soda as stain removers seemed tame thereafter. Similarly, both books have a constant, unsettling undertow, because of an unpredictable antagonist waiting to strike.

I had an idea everything must be so much easier for those lucky buggers who counted themselves normal. Johnson, Rae Nudson unpacks makeup's cultural impact-including how it can be used to shape a personal or cultural narrative, how often beauty standards align with whiteness, how and when it can be used for safety, and its function in the workplace, to name a few examples.

This, however, is not their time: we like our memoirs to be either shockingly salacious or else filled with woe, misfortune and tragedy. Writing astutely about the complex yet fascinating world of cosmetics, Rae Nudson shines a light on what is now a multibillion-dollar global business. All Made Up is an excellent sequel; its verbal playfulness, folksiness and wry, hard-won humour are an antidote to the neurosis and cynicism that can often characterise autobiographical writing by the authors of fiction.In This Is Not About Me this controlling, made-up harridan hits her little sister, busts her lip, sets fire to her hair.

It delves into a lot of interesting information and while I thought a few poignant points were made throughout, the book lacks a strong conclusion and really doesn’t have much of anything to say beyond presenting us these facts. Both Galloway and Winterson are book-loving and creative girls who manage, against the odds, to create their own identities despite their upbringings. I loved all the history and stories in the book about women (and trans women) who exploited beauty/gender politics to gain power or to resist the status quo — eg the story of the Chinese empress and Josephine Baker. That said, I appreciated learning about some of the ways that makeup has played a role in politics and protests.

There is a history and a cultural significance that comes with wearing cat-eye-inspired liner or a bold red lip, one that many women feel to this day, even if we don’t realize exactly why.
