Amsterdam-based artists and directors, Lernert & Sander are known for their creative videos that are often playful, thought-provoking, unorthodox, and magical. In this surreal short film about fashion overkill dubbed as "Natural Beauty" featured in the fashion and lifestyle website, Nowness.com, the Dutch artists pose the questions "Is this what you want?" and "Do you think this is beautiful?"
This short film is a mix of reality, fantasy, the bizarre, and the freakish. Of course, women do not normally wear make-up seven days a week and you wash it clean at the end of the day.
