New view on beauty

Last year, I looked down on fake cake faces. This year, I have begun to bow to the magnificent powers of professional make-up and Adobe Photoshop.
When you cut off a model/celebrity's access to godly photographing/photo-editing skills and knock off their powders, how many of them still look so stunningly mouth-gapingly attractive?
What's physical beauty nowadays? Fake eyelashes, fake boobs, million-dollar noses and what else? It's because you can't see at first instance into the inner content contained within this outer shell that physical appearances do matter so much to a certain extent. Pretty people do receive extra benefits. People often (at least) begin with treating good-looking people better. And hence, I've changed my views.
With the latest make-up technology, it makes no difference in the end whether the person had natural beauty initially or not. It is time to recognise that superficial beauty prevails over natural beauty at least in the short-term. It is time to succumb to routine face-caking and eye-painting sessions.
You know what? I don't like this world. Because I can't spare enough money for a full set of Chanel and Christian Dior make-up equipment, laser treatments and regular beauty therapy. So I'll just have to live with my flawed shell and get used to unfair treatment. Bottom-line: Money = Beauty. Once again, money makes the world go 'round dammit.

I've always been way too lazy to put on makeup; I just recently started brushing my hair in the mornings *shot*
I don't like the way people value 'beauty' in today's society and I do agree with you. However, I don't think that it's a bad thing necessarily to want to look presentable and pretty. I don't think that putting makeup on is always a bad thing; way too much makeup is a bad thing, but adding a little touch-up here or there isn't always that bad. Just like wanting to brush your hair and brush your teeth and dress nicely, makeup is a nice little addon sometimes.
If presentation really didn't matter at all, why would anyone bother dressing professionally to an interview? Why not everyone just wear jeans and ripped shirts? -
Hmm....Some people are naturally beautiful without makeup. It is true about money = beauty, I guess. Especially with kids these days, if you have the latest stuff, you're automatically cool aren't you? I don't really like to buy the 'Chanel/D&G/Phat Farm/whatnot. I just like buying stuff that I find pretty/useful. Caked-on faces are fake, and I don't like when I see people with those. I very very rarely wear makeup anyway, just because I don't like to.

money is important of course! but as long as you make my world go round, then you are great! Who defines true beauty? Which is why i sometimes think beauty pageants are fake. celebrities? thats what they have to do to earn money!
i cant charm everyone on earth with the current 'beauty' i have but as long as i know someone appreciates me for who i am, thats beauty!

In the end those people are just living money, walking around, jiggling their super duper huge fake breasts up and down. At least you're naturally pretty Rilla ;) Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I find natural beauties better. I actually like seeing people walking around without makeup rather than with. Too many cake faces are annoying, especially if their lips were super red and whatnot.
