May 2023: What We Covered
May was a busy month on Empowering Women India. We posted two very different pieces that still fit our mission – one that dives into pop‑culture history and another that gives practical beauty advice for young women. Both articles aim to inform, entertain, and help you feel confident in everyday life.
The Face Behind Mad Magazine’s Cover
If you’ve ever opened a Mad Magazine, you’ve probably noticed the goofy, gap‑toothed grin staring back at you. That’s Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot who’s become a symbol of satire for decades. Our post traced his roots back to 19th‑century ads and European caricatures, showing how a simple doodle turned into a cultural icon. We explained why publishers kept reusing Neuman’s image and how his playful look still resonates today.
We also highlighted fun facts: the first official use of the phrase “What, me worry?” appeared in the 1950s, and Neuman’s facial features have been tweaked many times while keeping the core expression. Understanding this backstory can make your next Mag reading feel like a treasure hunt, spotting hidden references you might have missed before.
Makeup Tips for High‑School Juniors
Switching gears, we shared a simple makeup guide for junior high or high‑school students who want a fresh, age‑appropriate look. The key is to keep it light – think BB cream or a thin layer of foundation, a swipe of mascara, and a natural‑toned lip. A dab of blush adds a healthy glow, while a subtle highlighter can brighten the cheekbones without looking overdone.
We stressed the importance of matching shades to skin tone and choosing products that won’t clog pores. The article also reminded readers that confidence comes from feeling comfortable in their own skin, so experimenting with color should always be fun, not stressful. Quick tips like cleaning brushes regularly and testing products on a small skin area were included to help avoid irritation.
Both posts reflect our commitment to blend culture, confidence, and practical advice. Whether you’re curious about the man behind the mad grin or looking for a safe way to try makeup for the first time, May’s archive has something useful for you. Browse the full articles for deeper insights, and let us know which topics you’d love to see next.

As a huge fan of "Mad Magazine," I've always been curious about who the actual face of the magazine cover is. After doing some research, I discovered that the iconic character gracing the cover is named Alfred E. Neuman. This goofy, gap-toothed character has become synonymous with the magazine's satirical content. Interestingly, Neuman's origins can be traced back to various sources, including a 19th-century advertisement and even earlier European caricatures. It's amazing to see how this legendary character has evolved over time and become an enduring symbol of humor and satire.

As a junior in high school, a good makeup look should be natural and age-appropriate. Focus on enhancing your features without overdoing it, by using lightweight foundation or BB cream, mascara, and a subtle lip color. A touch of blush and a hint of highlighter can also brighten your face. Remember to always choose makeup shades that complement your skin tone. Most importantly, embrace your unique beauty and have fun experimenting with makeup!
