The standard of beauty

To begin with, the standard of female beauty is a mythical concept. It just does not exist! And if there is a female standard, then not one, because how many people - so many opinions that do not always coincide. No matter what surprises moderated the fashion, what the beauty experts wrote in popular glossies, and all this with a single standard of the woman does not have in common. Each new attempt to establish a certain standard in appearance or figure is a tool by which designers, stylists, makeup artists, media owners and even plastic surgeons influence the psychology of the beautiful half of humanity. And the most amazing thing is that a woman who in every way tries to approach the model of fashion, suddenly realizes that those around her do not perceive such beauty.

Criteria of beauty

Naturalness has always been and will be one step ahead of artificiality. Never cleverly embroidered hair and nails will not look as attractive as natural, but this does not mean that the natural gift does not need to be tended. The beauty of a girl is, first of all, the health of her skin, nails, hair, and you can achieve this only if you follow the rules of nutrition, exercise, look after the body and face.

Fashionable glossies often offer their readers a collective image, giving them the standard of beauty of women. Some "fotobots" are successful, while others cause a genuine surprise, because of the ideal, in the opinion of the majority, features a strikingly repulsive image. Probably, the secret is that not always the authors of these portraits take into account the audience for which the female "ideal" is designed. Agree, it will be difficult for a Slav man to appreciate the beauty of an African-American woman, while a Slav woman with her beauty is unlikely to defeat a representative of the country of the Rising Sun.

By the way, celebrities, who set the tone for fashion, do not hesitate to admit that certain tendencies have not been followed for a long time, because they learned on personal experience that it is much more attractive to be natural. The main skill, which should be mastered on the way to your own beauty, is to properly focus on the merits of appearance and figure, and properly hide the flaws. If you are happy, live your own life and enjoy every minute of it, then you are on the right track!

At different times, women and men were fascinated by the beauty of the fair sex, whose appearance was often mutually exclusive (blonde brunettes, lean-puffy, blue-eyed, brown-eyed, and so on). In our gallery you can see women who are the universally recognized ideals of beauty.
