History of Beauty Trends

History of beauty can be traced from the Greeks. The foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists have also supplied the standard for male beauty in western civilization. The ideal Roman was defined as tall, muscular, long-legged, with a full head of thick hair, a high and wide forehead as a sign of intelligence and wide-set eyes, a strong bowline, a strong perfect nose and profile, a smaller mouth, and a strong jaw line. A prevailing idea in American culture has been that black features are less attractive or desirable than white features. The idea that blackness was ugly was highly damaging to the psyche of African Americans. The characterization of a person as “beautiful”, whether on an individual basis or by community
One is inner beauty that includes psychological factors such as personality, intelligence, grace, charm and elegance, and outer beauty, which includes physical factors, such as health, youthfulness, symmetry, average ness, and complexion. Inner beauty is a concept used to describe the positive aspects of something that is not physically observable.
Humans claim to rely on the inner beauty of their choices. Qualities including kindness, sensitivity, tenderness or compassion, creativity and intelligence. inner beauty cant be measured. nowadays inner beauty is hardly appreciated. People have turned towards a merely physical lifestyle.

Nowadays people have involved in so much of the artificial beauty. The medical treatments of skin tanning, skin whitening, reducing tummy fat and plastic surgeries. Nowadays beauty industry had flourished so much and it is one of the major industries in America as women are spending quite some portion of their earnings on beauty related treatments. Beauty presents a standard of comparison, and it can cause resentment and dissatisfaction when not achieved. How much money a person earns may also be influenced by physical beauty. One study found that people low in physical attractiveness earn 5 to 10 percent less than ordinary looking people, who in turn earn 3 to 8 percent less than those who are considered good looking. Discrimination against others based on their appearance is known as lookism.

Cosmetics one of the fastest growing areas of the beauty business. These products have an effect on the body and by definition can’t be cosmetics but they are neither formulated nor regulated as drug products.

Feel-good-only products will become more obsolete, as consumers begin to experience the actual skin-fixing results of makeup such as mineral makeup.

Nowadays the beauty that prevails around us is much artificial and superficial. Artificial means are used to enhance beauty which in actual are adding to the ugliness of the women. Until the early 20th century, beauty aids were concocted at home, the recipes passed down from mother to daughter and from neighbor to neighbor. The cosmetics industry was jump-started by the mass popularity of anti-aging products in the 1920s.In the past long black hairs were considered beautiful, chubby girls were considered beautiful, nowadays blond hairs, slim n trim girls, short hairs are the criteria’s of beauty. Women devote an average of 19 minutes per day to treating and altering their faces.

Why Beauty is so important?

Nowadays natural beauty is hardly appreciated. No one gives any importance to the internal beauty. The beauty of soul is hardly considered these days. Outer beauty is the demand of today women’s are getting more and more conscious about their external beauty. A girl not pretty but her black veil that covers her face leaves a mystery that one want to discover. Her eyes are not colored but they have honesty and simplicity. Modern women have beauty which attract eyes…but not heart.

Beauty as that which brings enjoyment to the person who looks or contemplates. beauty have subjective properties as properties that require subjects of the right sort to make a difference. When we say something is beautiful, are we recommending to others that they should take delight in it? Beauty may be inter subjective, but is it objective? Can we argue rationally about whether something is beautiful? No we can’t argue whether some ones beautiful as there are no cheer standards of judging beauty. So some thing that is beautiful for us might not b beautiful for others. Everyone holds there type for beauty. They wear whatever suits them. Now one thing might suits some other and the same thing might not suit other. So that is why every one has their own defined statement of fashion. In reality one should always wear what ever suits them. Universal fashion trends are not necessary to be followed. It’s not necessary to go with the universal fashion trends.

Beauty is an important part of our lives. The first necessary condition of a judgment of taste is that it is essentially subjective. What this means is that the judgment of taste is based on a feeling of pleasure or displeasure. It is this that distinguishes a judgment of taste from an empirical judgment. Central examples of judgments of taste are judgments of beauty and ugliness. In order to see what is special about pleasure in beauty the judgment of taste claims “universal validity” which is when a man puts a thing on a pedestal and calls it beautiful, he demands the same delight from others. He judges not merely for himself, but for all men, and then speaks of beauty as if it were a property of things. One could imagine a different world, in which ugly things cause beautiful emotional responses and beautiful things ugly ones, but I really believe that there is a correct way of pairing things, how they look, with their emotional responses. very good example is a song I was listening to a couple of days ago, It was with four voices, two male and two female. I had listened to it many times, but had never really noticed the male voices in the refrain. But this time I really focused on them, and it was breathtaking. I could listen to them in isolation from the other ones. But the next times I listened, they blended in with the other voices.
