- New research reveals that women wearing heavy makeup are “visually processed akin to objects at a basic cognitive level and perceived as being less human,” according to study author Philippe Bernard, of the Free University of Brussels. PsyPost reports:
“The researchers found that women with heavy makeup were rated by both male and female participants as having less humanness, agency, experience, competence, warmth, and morality compared to women without makeup. Faces with makeup were also rated as more sexualized than faces without makeup.”
