Recently, I have been very interested in the topic of natural female beauty. There is a lot of talk about this and different opinions. They disapprove of dyed hair and artificial nails, but still find them beautiful...
For the sake of interest, enter the word "naturalness" into the search engine. One of the first results you will get is “naturalness is back in fashion”. How did it happen that natural beauty for some period became bad manners and something unpopular? When and how did the attractive image of a Barbie girl or a glamorous woman take root in our minds?
I am not a radical fighter for total naturalness. Ultimately, the overall image of a woman will be important and revealing. Naturalness in my understanding is not stereotyped, not blueprint glamor. This is the beauty of individuality.
In any case, natural beauty is back on the catwalk. Among the variety of makeup styles, the so-called nude has become the most favorite, and simplicity and modesty prevail in clothes and accessories. And you know, this simplicity turned out to be new and unusual for the look of modern people and therefore gained popularity.
Naturalness in appearance is:
natural color of hair and nails. Dyed hair can also look natural and beautiful. And they can spoil the image or put an unnecessary accent;
natural make-up or only skin care cosmetics. Make-up, which emphasizes the dignity of the face, and thorough skin care;
absence of tattoos, tattooing and other types of permanent patterns on the body. I'm trying to evaluate my attitude to henna drawings;
Simplicity of accessories and clothing. It does not directly apply to the beauty of a particular girl, but a flashy image can overshadow the whole impression of real beauty;
· the beauty of healthy and well-groomed skin, and not foundation and dozens of elements of other decorative cosmetics. Although cosmetics are important, they have their own modest place;
natural tan. The main thing is not to overdo it.
I wear make-up every day, get my hair and nails done, but I stick to the point where my natural appearance becomes doll-like, implausible, and often completely ridiculous.
I do not support the ideas of a complete rejection of cosmetics and even minimal personal care in favor of naturalness. This is already overkill. Girls who practice this strategy are often so far from the concept of beauty, which consists of a radiant face, charming hair and eyelashes, well-groomed skin.
Piercing and tattoos. They have nothing to do with natural beauty, unless it's a pair of earrings. Tattoos can be insanely complex and beautiful, but having them already dictates a different way of life. It's the same with piercings.
What concerns artificial beauty:
ubiquitous surgical intervention, adding to the face and figure of unnaturalness;
flashy make-up or bold tattoo;
Strong unseasonable tan
Tattoos and piercings

Returning to the image of Barbie, I want to tell the following. One interesting book on ethology (The Naughty Child of the Biosphere) dealt with the worship of this disproportionate and vulgar doll. It turns out that these are the focuses of human perception. It seems beautiful to us (and especially to women) that has pronounced childish features: large eyes, a prominent forehead, large lips, a relatively large head, small feet and thin legs. In fact, any makeup and any hairstyle come down to visually enlarge the eyes, emphasize the lips and make the head more voluminous. But in Barbie, all these signs of beauty are extremely exaggerated. Fortunately, the fashion for real proportional and cute girls is back.
You probably still have the “naturalness is back in fashion” tab open? How do you perceive brightly made up and decorated girls and women and how do you perceive girls with minimal makeup and natural beauty? What do you think about it?
