BEAUTY & THE BEAST: THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN COLOURISM AND THE FEMALE ‘BROWN BEAUTY IDEAL’ IN 21ST CENTURY TRINIDAD SOCIETY

Trinidad's history is both multi-ethnic and multi-cultural. Contemporary Trinidad society reflects this history; and many ethnicities and cultures can be found within Trinidadian culture. However, advertising media, I have found, usually does not reflect the total ethnic composition of Trinidad. Instead, a 'Brown', racially ambiguous, face is used as a brand ambassador. Viewing this phenomenon through the lens of women in media imagery, this work sought to investigate this phenomenon further.
