We all know, that
standarts of beauty are very high these days. You have to be
symmetric, thin, long haired
preferably, beautiful. Oh, and it would be perfect, if you also had
very long legs, wore
high heals all the time, were
sexy and smart at the same time. You should also
work and take care of your house.
Well, it’s a fantastic and delusional mission. You will never look
as good as those models or actresses. Why? The
Answer is simple, the
photoshop! We all use it every day,
and we do know, how it works, and we do know that pictures are
altered, and still we’re trying to get to this “perfection”.
Another thing is,
that there are some celebrities who are normal. There are many of
them who say
"I don't care about the
Hollywood beauty model" yet
still they demand to be photoshopped, or they put lots of make-up on.
They do plastic-surgeries (like Jennifer Aniston, who was an icon for
natural beauty, before she put
botox to her face...)
Anyway, there are some quotes, quite interesting, from celebrities who really don't care, or try not to fall into Hollywood standards:

Better yet, some of
the actresses who are now known all over the world where told that
they weren't pretty enough or too
big for Hollywood, and yet, here they
are!http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/14/beautiful-actresses-told-not-pretty-enough_n_3442292.html

Some time ago a big
American company decided to limit all the sizes. The biggest size
available to buy was
10 (38 in EU). That, of course, made the media and people
disappointed and surprised. How
could a clothing company decide to
do something like that?
My favorite host commented
on it in a perfect way:
And for last, but
not least, I want to mention Lizze Velasquez, once called “the
ugliest woman in the
world”. Maybe she’s not easy on the eye, but what she says is so
important for every single girl and guy, who doesn’t have enough of
confidence in her/him:
Comments
Unfortunately, there is still a many of people which are assesses people by them appearance, and on the second time they thinking about what other person have “inside”. I think, the common man could much to learn from persons like Lizze Velasquez. For example, listening her speech we may deduce that the look is no important but human soul, character and behavior.
Shortly, simply we shouldn’t get crazy and do not follow so quickly to fashion and newest trends in appearance.
The truth is, that most guys don't really like girls that look like fashion models. Personally I think most of them look really wrong and not attractive at all. There are guys who go all metrosexual, but fortunately they are not in high demand because for guys, fortunately, looks is still not such a huge deal. I am a guy, I like it when a girl is clean and takes basic care about herself, but as soon as extremely strict diets and hours of make-up putting come into play, this becomes more of a negative trait.
photo enters computer and graphics software ( capture one or photoshop), where is refined. Celebrities are not always models and I think that sometimes the graphic designer need more time to improve their images How about plastic-surgeries ? I am an proponent of natural beauty, but everything is for the people. If someone get tired with own body, estetic medicine can help to be happier. Personally I like nice, perfect, good quality things. And I think it's normal. Why would I prefer unsightly
cars than beautiful ones? Pursuit of perfection can be very motivating and good for people, but not at any price.
Beauty is a market for clothes designers and cosmetic companies. They often try to tell us how they understand the beauty. They shape our subconscious, telling us what the beauty should look like. They do this in many different ways using TV, billboards, fashion shows and so on...
In baroque the beauty was totally different. http://bjws.blogspot.com/2013/02/1600s-women-by-flemish-peter-paul.html. Round shapes instead of skinny models on high heels.
Of course in most of magazine we will get only the photoshoped photo. Many photos of private people in all kind of social portals are also manipulated. I know people who didn;t allow to show they photo before using on it photoshop. It;s stupid, because they only can repair thei ego or something, but still, in real life they can't use everyday photoshop. Eg. if some men was interested in woman met from social page, she have realy beauty photo, and in real, she was just... normal.
It is easy to see the difference between this:

It's simple, if you want to be beautiful then you need to work on this. It is not enough to eat once a week: D
A healthy lifestyle is trendy now.
In my opinion media promotes this style, but this is changing very slowly. I don't believe there is another reason other than money that propel this trend. I personally prefer a natural woman.
