01 / main
Setting the Record Straight on 'Instagram Face'
The takeaway: Jessica DeFino is pushing back against mainstream narratives around 'Instagram Face.' Though media credits Jia Tolentino's late 2019 essay, DeFino and Eve Peyser documented the phenomenon months earlier. DeFino also calls out Tolentino's new piece for mischaracterizing her critique of aesthetic culture.
Concrete details
- DeFino published her guide to non-surgical cosmetic procedures for Fashionista in June 2019, ahead of Tolentino's December 2019 essay.
- Eve Peyser wrote 'The Instagram Face-Lift' for The New York Times in April 2019, trailing a year of beauty discourse.
Why it matters for this reader: For a reader challenging commercial beauty standards, seeing critics clash over cosmetic coverage reveals how media commentary can distort nuanced critiques of cosmetic surgery and industry trends.
