Western beauty is considered the dominant beauty in the world. Tall, blond, blue eyes. I always felt a little self-conscious because I wanted to be more Caucasian. I tried to get bigger eyes... I would dress preppy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the past few centuries, we have defined beauty as tall, slender figures, femininity and white skin.
I think being the conventional beauty is limiting, so I'm glad I'm not that. If I looked different, I wouldn't have the great opportunities I've had.
Beauty is not just a white girl. It's so many different flavors and shades.
Beauty should not be culturally relevant; it should be universal.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
It would be impossible to be a woman in Western culture and not have your own issues about your image and what you look like.
I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.
As an East Asian looking at America, I find attractive and unattractive features. I like, for example, the free, easy and open relations between people regardless of social status, ethnicity or religion.
The more people explore the world, the more they realize in every country there's a different aesthetic. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
My centre of who I thought I was was never very consciously about being beautiful or attractive - I think I'm one of those people who's actually grown into their looks.
