53 - 4.5 - another make up story ? Well not quite, for once becoming the princess or the prettiest girl is not really the main subject and the characters dynamics is also not that of pygmalion
Our « genius « ùake up artist is really nice, neither overwhelming or overbearing, he’s not a guide but a trigger and a partner (and probably sooner or later a love interest with luggage ), but he’s truly a respectful character
Our girl, despite having bad self image is also brilliant, wise and talented, she takes part in lots of decisions and thinks out what she wants to be, how it matters in society
The cast and the competition challenges our vision of what a girl should be, what does pretty mean, where’s the boundaries of conformity
It’s highly entertaining to read, many things have been said and done about this subject, yet it manages to feel fresh and really great to read
