    This is one reason why I love watching old movies from the 70s 80s and 90s. It seems like people were allowed to have different appearances. Not every leading woman was model gorgeous and not every leading man was ripped. Actors were even allowed to be older! Now if you turn on newer shows and movies, especially GenZ shows like in The CW, you can barely tell anyone apart. Everyone’s face and body is perfect, bland, almost generic.

      Can't a fabulous person just shine from the inside out? That's what I see in older movies, tho plastic surgery has been around forever. Marilyn Monroe had a her eyes and nose modified- but IMO past surguries weren't as intentionally exaggerated as now?

    I miss the uniqueness of people's faces. Yea sure manufactured beauty is pretty and visually appealing but everyone looks like a different version of the same person. Faces are becoming ambiguous. Smiles, teeth, noses and their proportions look strange. It's not beautiful to me, people look like clones.

      This is exactly why i stay somewhat “ugly” cos ultimately, i think it’s quite beautiful. I think people appreciate that i look human. Plus i think a lot of these IG face things are just trends. Just more invasive than, say, emo hair back in the mid 00s. Like oval faces have CLASSICALLY been the best face shape yet everyone is trying their best to get heart shaped and forgetting the facts that many face shapes and features are gorgeous - even thin lips. I was watching this porn the other day and the woman had the thinnest ass lips but she was STUNNING. It looked amazing on her and I bet she’s thought about filler but either her own intelligence or her doctors said “girl. NO.”

    I think people focus too much on each feature individually. Anne Hathaway has a large nose, big teeth. Would anyone say she’s not beautiful? No. I think it would be terrible if she had her nose made smaller. Jennifer Grey basically lost her career by removing a small bump on her nose. She was basically unrecognizable. To anyone thinking of changing their face…. Tread lightly.

    IMO people confuse beauty with attractiveness. Assimetry can be sometimes the most interesting and most eye catching. The same happens with the lack of perfection, it can be the best thing. One thing is to accentuate or dissimulate something, but things take a weird turn when we start copy pasting the same procedures all over people's faces LOL. I mean, to each their own, because some people want to be unique and their own selves, and others only want to be like everybody else. It all comes down to what you want, perfection v/s realness and what's more beautiful to you.

People have a tendency to look older, harsher, and over time their face literally balloons. I live in Dallas. The aesthetic here is to look like you have plastic surgery if you've had work done.

    The amount of plastic surgery and fillers I’ve seen in Miami is disturbing. And let me say-it’s not a good look in person. As others have said, your face loses structure and becomes more pillow-like in nature. And of course you lose what makes you unique and therefore truly beautiful. I don’t think the men notice, however 😂 Skinny waists with big butts, chests, and lips and they’re unfortunately none the wiser. I wish that if there was any trend within the plastic surgery/cosmetic procedure profession, it would be to refine certain features but still stay true to themselves rather than to radically transform their appearance.

      That’s because larger cheeks don’t suit them, so it looks unnatural and their faces look distorted and plastic. But there are many women with naturally full or high cheeks and small to medium sized eyes who are great beauties, for eg., Monica Bellucci, Raquel Welch, Catherine Zeta Jones, Claudia Schiffer, Claudia Cardinale, and so on. Also small, squinty eyes can be cute and youthful looking if it’s natural, for eg. Jennifer Lawrence.

    It used to be that an oval-shaped face was a sign of beauty. These days many people seem to want to have narrow faces, especially with a pointy chin. The problem with this is that in nature, a narrow face is a sign of malnourishment, not beauty, and still is. It means that the body didn't have enough nutrients and other essential materials while you were In Utero and in childhood to build the bone structure in the face and the rest of the body correctly. To me, this Instagram look is not particularly attractive. I prefer people who have a striking feature or a bit of asymmetry about them.

I guess it also speaks of the fact that we see people now (online) way before we meet them, as the most individual measure of what we all find attractive is pheromonal, and we can only experience that face to face. Sometimes the person that you see as gorgeous and perfect is a pheromonal clash. x

    Beauty standards are constantly changing and subjective. For examples, big lips were considered undesirable in the 1920s. And if you look closely at the Mona Lisa, you will see she looks very masculine. At the time, it was usually men who played women on stage and posed for art. If you look closely at many of the Renaissance paintings, you will notice the women look like men with breasts. Also, they say it may have been either one of Da Vinci's lovers that inspired the Mona Lisa or it may even have been Da Vinci himself who posed for the portrait.

    not to be larger than your eye!
    you can see in early film how more generous mouths had a cosmetically drawn lip line ...full but but tiny...not wide at all.
    Brown/ v dark eyes photographed better and were deemed more expressive

    I just don’t get it. If you add a filter, that changes the beauty in whatever it was you took a photo of. That means those things aren’t good enough as they are, that they need to be ‘perfected’.
    I never add filters or edit any of my photos. I want the things I take photos of to actually look like they did when I saw them. Like, why would I add a filter to a selfie with my dog?
