Enhance Physical Beauty

What constitutes universal beauty? What makes one universally beautiful?

If you talk to plastic surgeons, beauty comes from symmetry, which is to say, that both sides of your body look the same and are in proportion to each other.

If one cheek is too high to the other, a breast much larger than the other, then we have asymmetry, and that means less beauty.

Of course, beauty, to a skin specialist, means no unexpected irregularities of the skin - no pimples, blackheads, pre skin cancers, etc.

The above three concepts of beauty are pretty universal across cultures and continents.

What makes someone physically beautiful in one culture and not in another?

These are the culturally determined beliefs about what is beautiful.

In the old days, being fat was considered highly beautiful and attractive - only rich people could basically afford to eat that well, skinny meant you were poor and probably a manual laborer.

In Japan, extremely tiny feet became the rage and the ideal of beauty, once a noble woman was born with such a deformity. Countless Japanese woman have tortured their feet to achieve that cultural beauty.

So, wealthy people often set the trend of cultural beauty.

Famous people also set the trend, like movie stars, but often they are being manipulated by movie directors' fetishes - so the thin girl, with pumped up lips and enlarged breasts, is often the cultural goal where these movies are being shown.

Idiosyncratic physical beauty

What makes one person physically beautiful to another?

Yes the universal and cultural have their say in how one considers another to be beautiful or not, but not everyone follows the norm in their perceptions of beauty.

For some people, they may go the opposite to the culture on beauty. Such reasons are as vast as there are people.

Suffice to say, that what some may consider the most beautiful woman or most handsome man to be, may be the ugliest in another persons eyes.

Basic Beauty Tips

Obviously, we now live in an age where plastic surgeons can even things up if asymmetry of the body or face is present. In a society where surgeons can suck out fat or ad bulkiness as you desire.

Beautician are skilled at hiding and or fixing blemishes of the skin, but ask them questions and learn how to do it yourself professionally. If the problem is, for example, acne, learn about acne and how to control it.

Stay up to date with the latest cultural trends - fashions and so on - but make sure you chose a style of the fashion that compliments you physically.

Essential Fashionable Beauty Tips

Experiment with the fashionable lipsticks and so on.

Try and find the fashionable colors and so on that compliments you, while still being modern.

Always focus on bringing out your better features, highlighting them in some way.

Doing so effectively helps keep peoples' attention on your good physical points or attributes. Accentuate a not so good feature, and your defeating the goal of looking beautiful. Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so keep the good bits shining through.

Seek professional beauty advice and suggestions.

A yearly visit or six monthly visits or 3 monthly visits to a professional trendy boutique suited to your age, may yield some insights on latest beauty trends and fashions that you may not have known or noticed.

Always ask questions and learn about what is currently fashionably beautiful.

Arrive early to take advantage of any posters or reading materials to gain an appreciation of what may suit you that is fashionable - e.g. hair styles is an obvious one that can enhance beauty.

Ask them what they think would suit you and make you you look beautiful, but make sure they are up to date themselves and know what they are talking about. Some ladies come out quite ugly looking, because the hairstyle the beauty salon chose accentuated a not so good feature, like big ears. Lets face it, big ear rings doesn't fix that sort of mess.

Too much makeup is mostly a beauty turn off.

Yes too much of a good thing looks artificial, and raises suspicion about what you are hiding underneath it all. Instead of looking beautiful, they beholder becomes concerned about what's underneath - a beauty turnoff.

Chose colors and textures that bring out your good points, while hiding the not so good.

Variety is the spice of beauty.

If you look the same day in and day out, you become boring to some extent. To spicen things up, different style of dress, clothing, etc. Experimentation is how you learn what works and what doesn't, but always work to flatter your natural beauty, while playing down the not so beautiful bits.

Accessorize

Jewelry, handbags, purses and so on. Update and modernize.

Beauty Sleep

Make sure you get enough sleep every night, less you will find your beauty a fading star, as bags and discoloration around the eyes become more noticeable, the smile being replaced with that worn out expression - as well as the appearance of the snappy temper.

Use of makeup correctly is essential for good beauty

1... Apply moisturizer to your face 20 minutes before makeup is put on. This helps give a more youthful beauty.

2... Apply makeup in adequate light, so that you can see the beauty the others will see, the way you want them to.

3... If you have a complexion problem, use a foundation or concealer before applying makeup - this way you wont have to use obvious excessive amounts of makeup to cover up, so your beauty is enhanced, instead of being questioned in other peoples' minds.

4... When choosing a foundation or concealer color, it is often good to see how it will look on your face, provided the beauty shop has samples / testers of their products, by applying it to your wrist undersides - normally the place where you test perfume as well.

5... If you want thicker looking eyelashes, apply eyeliner to the bottom of the lashes will often achieve the beautiful look.

6... Don't overuse mascara, twice is about the limit, before you should clean it off completely and reapply. Otherwise it will often not look normal, not look beautiful.

7... Use beauty makeup that is also good for your skin. If you find any of the beauty makeup upsets your skin, look for a replacement one that wont have that effect, as in the end, it will detract from your beauty.

8... In the early days of Hollywood, actors died from having their entire bodies painted, as the skin wasn't able to breathe. The same goes for makeup, clean it off every night, and let the skin breathe to remain healthy and beautiful.

Hemorrhoids and Physical Beauty

It is true that hemorrhoids generally are not pleasant to look at, particularly when they have become large. Fortunately, hemorhoids are not in an area of the body where people normally look, and are generally well out view.

Which all means that hemorrhoids are not likely to make you look less physically beautiful. If any one is that close to you, then one would expect them to be concerned and understanding - if they put you down for having hemorrhoids, then maybe it's time to find some one better?
