LAUNCH
3 -5 minute pop culture docs featuring Charis Lincoln of Charisma Star TV. Beauty chameleon
Charis Lincoln explores the iconic looks of each decade, along with the sweeping winds of
female empowerment and self-actualization that drove the beauty revolution. From the
complicated pre-Raphaelite curls of the 1910s to the freedom ‘fros of the 1970s, beauty always
moves to the beat of the sea change that is happening in culture. As women claimed fuller roles
in society, they relinquished time-consuming beauty rituals that no-longer defined them. Beauty
is one of our purest forms of self-expression. A swipe of lipstick, a stroke of blush, a spritz of
fragrance, a dollop of cream, and suddenly you are transformed into an image of your own
creation. Beauty through the decades tells the story of transformation one decade at a time,
spreading the gospel of reinvention along the way. We look to the past, as we continue to carve
out and define our image in the present. Charis tells the story of each decade through the
beauty rituals that defined it - empowering each of us to define ourselves. Don’t miss the
beauty revolution.
