Mirror: An animated New Yorker cover about adolescence and makeup
This animation by Chris Ware and John Kuramoto was made for a December issue of The New Yorker. It was made in collaboration with interviews from This American Life with Ira Glass that retells the story of a mother and daughter realizing the powerful effect of makeup and how it may have affected each person differently.
I wish This American Life made more of these. They're quite lovely to watch.
