  Not only different eras, but different cultures have vastly different beauty standards.

  when i was in middle school and realizing i wasn&apos;t exactly a &quot;pretty&quot; girl, my mom whipped out an entire box of old fashion magazines from under her bed and we spent hours looking through all of them, pointing out unusual beauty features that fit either of us and gushing over Twiggy, Brigitte Bardot, Peggy Moffitt, Cybil Shepherd, etc...<br>I got a twiggy pixie cut the next day.

  as i&apos;ve matured i&apos;ve realized people look so much more beautiful when they lean into their natural features vs trying to force themselves to look completely different (myself included)

  Cleopatra wasn&apos;t exactly known as a particularly beautiful woman physically, but her personality, intelligence, and wit was magnetic and incredibly attractive.

  Ugliness is rebellion. I am ugly but unique-looking. I will not change it for any standard.

  Cleopatra was extremely charismatic and absolutely brilliant. She spoke 10 languages and was brilliant in philosophy.

  There’s a Japanese legend that says that your face is the face of the person you loved the most in your past life.

  I find it interesting that women beauty standards are constantly evolving, while male beauty standards have remained practically unchanged for thousands of years. If you tell any man he looks like a Greek god, it would be a compliment today just as it was 100 years ago or 1000 years ago.

  I know it sounds corny and fake, but as someone who likes to paint and draw people, I appreciate uniqueness a lot. Drawing those perfect instagram faces is dull and boring, and a lot of artist do that exactly because it&apos;s EASY and it SELLS. Rarely, artist draw unique, vivid and lively true human faces which is much more interesting and challenging. As someone who follows artists I get a bit bored with all those perfect faces they draw, it&apos;s always the same. I love when someone paints faces more challenging, more interesting and filled with character, wrinkles, genetic features, life. I really enjoy watching and drawing such faces, faces filled with life and character. It&apos;s not trendy, doesn&apos;t pay off (don&apos;t care it&apos;s a hobby not a job), but it&apos;s far more fun and satisfying.

  Yesss!! I felt ugly my entire life until I started doing 1920s hair and makeup. My face just fits that era and I feel like myself! ✨
