What is beauty? Is it defined by the symmetry of your face, is it your age, colour, race, bone structure, gender, body shape, weight or how flat your stomach is? Or maybe it’s  by what you see in the media or by popular culture and trends.

Various cultures have different definitions and perceptions of beauty. From the Kayan tribes who believe that  giraffe type necks are the ultimate sign of beauty and from age five, start priming their necks with heavy brass rings, to several parts of Asia where pale or white skin is often seen as a sign of beauty and affluence.

The real beauty is acceptance of yourself, perceived flaws and all and to realize that they are a part of what makes you beautiful. It’s a radiance of spirit, having character, kindness to ourselves and to others, it’s strength and self-confidence to know that with or without makeup the real beauty is you.
