Three Women Get Makeovers That Transform Them Into Historical Figures Inspired by Their Individual Ethnicities

BuzzFeed gave three women, each of different backgrounds, makeovers that transformed them into historical figures that were inspired by their respective ethnicities of Indian, Irish-English-Scottish, and Chinese.

We researched the heritages of three women and gave them makeovers inspired by their backgrounds, exploring diverse traditions of beauty. We then showed these women their new looks to see how they would react.

Each of the women seemed pleased with the makeovers and said that they felt beautiful.
