Beautiful. Are you?

Fair, flawless complexion, slender and elegant proportions, thick curly eyelashes,

Pointy shoes with killing heels matched with tight, revealing and damn expensive dresses.

Why do many women succumb to the modern stereotype meaning of beauty when really it’s themselves that they are hurting?

Honestly, having a mud of cosmetics slapped on your face literally feels a Royal Doulton dinner plate is sticking on it. The time you spent on putting them on and removing them away… Not mentioning how much money you spent on them… It’s just ridiculously expensive. And what with shoes, handbags, dresses, the Apocalyptoic accessories, the sunscreen lotions, night lotions, daily lotions, moisturizers, toners, hydrating cream, various types of essences…

Aren’t they all invented to make us spend more time in front of the mirror than reading a good book, improving ourselves, or making more money?

Don' get me wrong, I'm not against taking care of appearance, being smart and looking nice...

But hey... to what extent are we willing to go?

What is the yardstick to measure the beauty in a person?

Every year in any beauty pageant, one of the answers from the beauteous will state that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that beauty comes from within, and that internal beauty is eternal. Yet, they all come in fancy, stupid-looking dresses, hair and make up all done to the finest perfection.

Any idea why?

Because the internal beauty is less appreciated nowadays.

Because it’s invincible.

Because it’s left unnoticed.

Because it’s easier to be a plastic toy.
