Charlotte Logue is an academic at Solent University, teaching across the BA (Hons) Make-Up and Hair Design, BA (Hons) Prosthetics and Special Effects Design and MA Make-up & Hair Design Futures courses.

As an academic, Charlotte is centred in the field of beauty and aesthetics. Her work combines practical and theoretical approaches to study, integrating references to visual culture, the cosmetic body and psychology. These perspectives are intertwined with her own research pathways exploring the role of beauty, femininity and ritual through an esoteric and anthropological lens.

Charlotte’s own research interests explore alternative perspectives of beauty and aesthetics through an esoteric lens. Closely linked to social history and the arts, Charlotte’s work discusses the deeper role of beauty in connection to identity and empowerment. Drawing the subject away from surface interpretations of the practice. Her research combines esoteric themes of ritual and the roles of women throughout history with contemporary ideas drawn from psychology and visual culture.

The focus of her research is to challenge perspectives of beauty and the cosmetic body beyond superficial interpretations. Investigating how identity and societal constructs are innately intertwined with, and continue to alter our understanding of the self, identity and empowerment. .
