An Inconvenient Truth



The August edition of InStyle magazine pays tribute to French cosmetics firm L'Oréal in the form of a selective history that conceals unsightly blemishes such as those awkward war years of collaboration, anti-Semitism and ultra-rightist activities. Truly a makeover of historical dimensions.
