You know
what they say: Inner beauty is great, but a little lipstick never hurts. And
while many people believe that the importance of physical beauty became
prominent in the last decade or so, this is not quite true. Ancient Egyptians
used a combination of ores as makeup, while Chinese used rice powder on their
faces. Let’s not forget that henna is widely used in India since ancient times
for hair dying, and around 1200AD perfumes became very popular. So let’s face
it: regardless of the era, age or gender, we’re all a bit superficial…and you
know what? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. And while women are a
bit more affected by this beauty frenzy than men, it’s safe to say that the
stronger sex surely isn’t excused from various beauty treatments.
Let’s check
out some of the most common things we do to make ourselves more attractive:
Fitness and Dieting
One of the
most popular methods of beautification are surely fitness and dieting. And
while regular exercise and a balanced diet are actually quite healthy, the main
reason for practicing these two things is an improved physical appearance. Of
course, the devastating factor here is that if you wish to maintain your
rocking body, you actually need to stick to your routine.
Hair Removal
Did you
know that ancient Egyptians used to remove all of the hair from their body,
except the brows? Talking about going to extremes. Certainly, it’s easier
learning the fact that the no-hair trend didn’t start yesterday, but it’s much easier knowing that nowadays,
instead of using pumice stones, we can rely on wonders of shaving, epilation,
waxing and of course – laser hair removal.
Hair Care
How many
hours on average do you spend looking at video tutorials on how to make a
perfect messy bun? Yes, the struggle is quite real. From flowy boho chic
hairdos, wet curls and hair straightening up to dying our hair in different
colours, applying highlights and making all kinds of extraordinary dos, it’s
safe to say that hair care is one of the essential things for any lady.
Breast Augmentation
According to breast augmentation
experts from Sydney
the most searched topic related to beauty by Australian women are boob jobs. The
main reason that women from Sydney are opting for breast augmentation are
fuller and shapely breasts. Can you blame them? Ever since Pamela Anderson made
a debut in Baywatch, there isn’t a woman in this world who hasn’t wished for a
fine pair of jugs.
High Heels
“Give a
girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world.” I think we can all
relate to the well-known wisdom of Marilyn Monroe. No, they aren’t comfy or
easy to wear, but they sure are sexy and give you an instant confidence boost.
What more does a lady need?
Body Modifications
Tattoos and
body piercings are not everyone’s cup of tea but they’re also commonly used as
a way to alter our appearance and make us feel more appealing. And some say
that if it’s in the right amount, there’s nothing sexier than an inked lady with a nose ring.
Makeup
Lastly,
let’s not forget about the most commonly practiced beauty method – makeup.
Foundation, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick are just a few magical products
without which a lady simply can’t start her day.
From
exercising and hair removal, all the way to cosmeticsurgery and makeupproducts,
there are all kind of things ladies are ready to do for beauty. But is it worth
it? Well, the next time you stand in front of the mirror looking like a
bombshell, just remember what Sheryl Crow would say: If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad.
