Beautytube
This production study utilizes postfeminist theory as a lens for seeing ‘beauty work’ on YouTube via the multi-channel network (MCN) ICON Network, a collaboration between the production company Endemol Shine and beauty YouTuber Michelle Phan.

The childbearing teen body was, unsurprisingly, portrayed as a public health problem in need…
