Makeup Museum announces a virtual inter generational beauty campaign to encourage people to connect with loved ones around makeup history.
This campaign, dubbed ‘Generations of Beauty’, is an effort to support seniors, often grandparents, who are suffering from loneliness during the corona virus pandemic.
By encouraging younger generations to spark conversation around special beauty-related memories, Makeup Museum hopes to bring loved ones together while staying true to the museum’s official debut of the immersive Pink Jungle: 1950s Makeup in America exhibition.
Makeup Museum – Generations Of Beauty Campaign
The international beauty campaign will begin on April 9 on Makeup Museum’s Instagram account (@MakeupMuseumOfficial) with a video Q+A conversation from Makeup Museum’s Co-Founder, Caitlin Collins and her Grandmother, Maureen Denges.
lighthearted dialog highlights Denges’s personal 1950’s beauty memories along with beauty artifacts she acquired in this decade such as the exquisite 20 Carats perfume and uniquely crafted beauty combs and makeup compacts.
“We launched our ‘Generations of Beauty’ campaign to encourage beauty lovers around the world to speak with their loved ones about makeup history,” says Caitlin Collins, Makeup Museum’s Co-Founder.
“Normally, with life moving so quickly, we may not take the opportunity to collect these personal, and often entertaining and uplifting, beauty accounts.
By sparking these conversations now, we can bring a sense of comfort to older generations who may be socially isolated and looking for connection during this uncertain and scary time. You may be surprised what you learn. I know I was!” says Collins.
The Makeup Museum will donate $1 for every social media comment or like on its #GenerationsOfBeauty posts on Instagram this month (up to $10,000) to Meals on Wheels, which delivers nourishing meals to homebound seniors.
Those interested in submitting their own intergenerational beauty Q+A with a loved one can either submit a video or photo with a description to the Makeup Museum at [email protected].
Q+As can include the most memorable beauty moments, cherished brands and products, favorite beauty icons, and more.
Submissions must include participants’ full name and written approval to use the video or photo content across Makeup Museum’s digital channels.
