Austere images of Afghanistan aside, and whether Burka clad or not, a new generation in Kabul surprise us by following the latest fashion.
Mina Shayesteh spoke to a group of young men and women in Kabul who have their own views on personal makeup habits.
It is amazing to realize the cultural differences between peoples. We don't think a thing about buying makeup, underwear or other personal products, where in Afghanistan they are so modest. I am glad that women are wearing their lipstick proudly. Some of these cultures (although I think Egypt was the first for lipstick) are the innovators of makeup--which I believe is every woman's right and privilege--so it is good that they can adorn themselves freely!

That was a very interesting report. It is good to know women's liberation is coming back in this region.
