What is beauty? What is the ideal girl?

Believe it or not, beauty has changed throughout history. What we think is beautiful today is very different from what people thought was beautiful in 100BC. Let me give some examples from Western history:

Ancient Egypt (1000BC)

Eyeliner and makeup was important in Egyptian society. In fact, both men and women wore it. They also both shaved their heads, although when outside the women would wear a wig of black and curly hair.

Ancient Greece (400BC)

Unibrows (a single long eyebrow) were popular for women. If a woman did not naturally grow a unibrow, she would often glue animal hair to make it look like she had one. In Sparta, women would also dress up as men on their wedding day, since that's what Spartan men found attractive.

Renaissance (1400-1600)

Woman would try to pluck their bangs to make their heads look bigger, since big heads were beautiful. Also, women tried to make themselves look whiter, so they would wear lots of white make up. However, thESE kinds of makeup had lead in it, and many would get lead poisoning. Such is the price of beauty.

p.s.- the bigger you were, the more beautiful you were!

1700s

Corsets and white-powdered wigs! Women wore a lot of these. The wigs were fashionable for some reason, but would get very dirty. The corsets would try to make women's waists look bigger, but often would cause them to faint. Such is the price of beauty.

Victorian Era (1840s)

Women who were modest, pure, restrained, and natural were beautiful. Women wore less makeup, and would wear clothes that would cover up most of their skin. This made spending summer at the beach a little too hot.

1920's

Movies were starting to become popular, and because of this, for the first time in history actors and actresses became "beautiful". Women would wear their hair short, wear sleeveless shirts, and even long pearls. Scandalous!

This is what beauty has been throughout the ages, and as you can see it changes. What do you think will be considered beautiful in the future?
