Hi everyone. I’ve recently watched some videos about beauty standards and now I’d like to share my impressions of them.
Personally, I really enjoyed watching videos “Women’s Makeup Throughout History” and “Women’s Ideal Body Types Throughout History” as I had seen videos like that, for instance, “100 Years of Nails”, “100 years of Hairstyles”, “100 years of Pregnancy” by Allure, etc. It’s always fascinating to watch how the same thing is changing through years, decades, and centuries. But the point is, that it doesn't become “better”, it just becomes different. And the difference and uniqueness are what make people beautiful.
“Uniqueness is what makes you the most beautiful”
Lea Michele
However, I don’t like the idea of “beauty standards”, especially when the world is trying to convince people what body type they would have, how they should style their hair, and what clothes they should wear to be pretty. I always wonder who are the ones who create these “trends” that many women long to follow with the hope that it will help them be “truly beautiful” stand out from the crowd.
Fortunately, nowadays people are starting to accept the fact that following beauty trends can be a bit useless and no one can actually tell you what to do to look pretty. I’ve also noticed that even there are some beauty trends in our world, women are still trying to find their own style to express their individualities. And it makes me happy because I believe that the only way to let your inner and outer beauty flourish is to be yourself and be unique.
Thanks for your attention :)
