(Sugar skull)

In Mexico, Sugar art goes back to the Colonial Period 18th century. Sugar skulls represented a departed soul, had the name written on the forehead and was placed on the gravestone to honor the return of a particular spirit. Sugar skull art reflects the folk art style of big happy smiles, colorful icing and sparkly tin and glittery adornments.

Vintage Beauty Ads

Skimming through fashion and lifestyle magazines, beauty ads always catch our attention. Even if you are not going to buy this product you want to be the girl in the ad, look like her at least. As a previous marketing student and current junior marketing slave, I  believe that advertising is a reflection of culture based on place and time. Beauty standards according to style can be quite the a history teller, each era has its own trends and that's created by the people in these industries. Mix them both and you have a look at what people desire and think of luxury.
