The Price of Beauty

Posted in Beauty

There’s a new trend hitting Hollywood : NO RETOUCHING!

Last week, I watched a full episode of Jessica Simpson’s Price of Beauty Reality Show. I was amazed that Asian women were getting plastic surgery to have bigger eyelids. I’m thinking “Who said bigger eyelids = beauty?” It also made me think of all the other ridiculous beauty “standards” the media has imposed on regular women. People (yes men too) are putting their lives in danger to live up to a beauty standard that is non-existent! Most celebrities, models, and athletes look nothing like they appear on television, photo shoots and magazines. I guess some are tired of putting up a front like they are perfect. Take these pictures for example:

Britney Spears is the latest celeb to do a photoshoot  for her Candie’s 2010 Ad campaign without retouching

For the May cover of Marie Claire, Jessica Simpson went without makeup or retouching.

In May’s Harper’s Bazaar, Kim Kardashian poses totally nude without airbrushing.

I threw Heidi in the mix because clearly she has been a victim of the pressures of defining ”beauty” . Check out her pics from back in 2006 til now
