Eye-Opening Video Shows 100 Years Of Iranian Beauty In One Minute


The Cut team is at it again. Known for their awesome time-lapse beauty trend videos, the crew has added a third instalment to their “100 Years of Beauty” series – with this current focus being on beauty trends in Iran.

This can be seen with the hijab ban in the 1930s, the revolution of 1979 and the more recent Green Revolution.
