Don't get it twisted, no one is this perfect
This topic here is about women not being at peace with their looks. I feel like the celebrity culture has placed some kind of benchmark on beauty and it is expected that every woman must look in a particular way to be regarded as being beautiful. Some also believe that the pictures of our Celebrities that are on pages of Magazines and the Net are just transient, it's not their everyday look as they may want us to believe.
In this age of advanced photography, professional making up, beauty treatment routine, etc, is it ideal to use these people we see on the Magazine Covers, Internet, as the yardstick of being beautiful?
Most women including myself find it difficult to accept the person we see in the Mirror, this has nothing to do with low self esteem, it is a natural reaction to what one considers as the ideal beautiful woman as being portrayed in the media.
Is it right to have a distorted view about beauty or should we all break the bank before we can have the confidence to consider ourselves beautiful? I once had a Male friend who said he can only judge if a woman is beautiful in the morning, that is before she takes her bath and apply all sorts of make up. I think there is a disconnect between what men consider as beauty and what we women think. I will appreciate your sincere opinion on this topic.* T
