Sammi brings Maddie Rice back on the show to discuss an article in the New Yorker written by Jia Tolentino. The article "The Age of Instagram Face" highlights the new beauty standard emerging in the past decade that has been created and perpetuated by Instagram's algorithm. Quoting a famous celebrity makeup artist, Tolentino's article describes the look as, " “We’re talking an overly tan skin tone, a South Asian influence with the brows and eye shape, an African-American influence with the lips, a Caucasian influence with the nose, a cheek structure that is predominantly Native American and Middle Eastern.” Maddie and Sammi discuss this standard that stemmed from a combination of plastic surgery, Facetune and filters. They explore its connection to mental health struggles, economic success and cultural appropriation. The pod wraps up with an empowering message on embracing your natural beauty, despite it not matching what you seen on a screen. Welcome to Episode 10 of Trust Me I'm A Novice.
