    We all know that to fit the beauty standards of 2024 you have to look a certain way. I’m talking small nose, big pouty lips, big eyes, high brows, bone structure sculpted by the Gods (or the best plastic surgeon). And considering those beauty standards are VERY difficult to meet, it can leave women feeling down about themselves. But what if your face was better suited to a vintage beauty standard? Maybe you have little lips, and you would have fitted in to the 1920s perfectly! Or you have a strong nose and bold features - girl you could have been a supermodel in the 70s with a face like that! Or maybe you have deep set eyes and a long nose and strong chin - hello ancient Greek goddess! Just because you may not fit our beauty ideal today, does NOT make you unattractive or ugly. You were simply made for a different era. Or maybe… your time in the spotlight hasn’t even arrived yet! It will be so interesting to see how our beauty standards change and evolve, and where we are 100 years from now!

    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'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'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's not trendy, doesn't pay off (don't care it's a hobby not a job), but it's far more fun and satisfying.

    My face matches the American beauty standards of the 1940s and 1960s much more than today. Recently I stopped trying to do my makeup to mimic the features of modern-day celebrities (high-up blush, contour, cateyes, overlining lips, plucking the ends of my brows to draw a lift, etc.) because it didn't look right on my face and made me feel ugly. I'm still using a few trends I like, but I'm copying some styles and placements from past generations that emphasize my actual features. It's made me feel so much more beautiful and confident!

    I'm super pale, with a potato-tip nose, small lips, super dark hair, I'm quite tall and plump (I'm a 40DD). I've never fitted most beauty standards in these 29 years and kinda resigned to that idea, even though friends and family always told me how pretty and beautiful I was. Until I started to work as a teacher. When I worked in primary school all kids told me I was "Sooo beautiful" "Like snow white!". And these last years (I teach in middle school now) some parents came to the meetings telling me "My daughter had told me you were so beautiful". Every single time my jaw dropped. I NEVER saw myself that way. It made me realise we're so used to beauty standards and picking apart our own features, we don't even know how we really look to others. You ARE beautiful.

I was stunned and didn’t even know how to react because it has been awhile since anyone had said that to me. I do not fit todays beauty standard in any way (midsize, pale, skin problems, very asymmetrical face, etc.).

    It's wild to think that for many, many centuries soft jawline and weak chin were goals in female faces - and now they are the worst flaws you can have (I do and I hate it). So if, theoretically, this trend would come back one day, what would women do - break their jaws? The lesson is - don't fix what isn't broken just to fit into a current beauty canon...

I think my self esteem is the way that it is because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person, much prettier than me and although she told me I was beautiful- I heard her bash herself so much and since I thought she was prettier than me- my self esteem took a nose dive because I thought I must be hideous if someone so beautiful thinks they’re ugly. Now that I recently became a mom I’m trying to heal my relationship with my looks and body for my kids sake so the cycle doesn’t repeat and now I’m genuinely starting to see my beauty. It’s amazing how our children can start to help us gain a new outlook on things. ❤

  • @hvymtlangel

    Here’s the problem with all beauty standards: they are trends, and they have long been intertwined with wealth and socioeconomic status. Historically, pale skin was prized as it signified a life of leisure, free from the necessity of outdoor labor. In periods of scarcity, fuller bodies were seen as beautiful. In today’s times, it’s the same exact thing, except it’s cosmetic surgery which is primarily attainable by the wealthy. These procedures are costly and indicate that an individual has the financial resources to afford such luxuries. The ability to enhance one’s appearance surgically is a modern marker of wealth and status.
    A proportionate face will never go out of style. These are all merely trends, and they will go out of style eventually.

    I love the 1920's silent movie style of makeup and use it as my everyday routine. If I try to wear dark lipstick to fill my lips and overline it looks crap, but if I wear dark lipstick in the old style it looks so flattering. The fact my lips are tiny doesn't look 'out of place,' despite the current beauty standards, they fit my face. The current beauty trends don't suit everyone, we can change that by adapting to what works for us. We can accentuate traits instead of hiding them.

    I don’t look like anyone from any era. 😂 However, I do have the long face from the 70s and the big lips from our current time. Beauty standards are stupid. We’re all beautiful in unique ways.

      Omg I love that movie!! And I literally look like the 1920’s stars. Tiny, sharp with youthful features and a delicate body. It was the golden age of gamines.

    Thank you so much Stephanie!!! I really needed this today! Just a few hours ago I was crying because I felt so ugly, which I struggle with a lot as I recover from anorexia. You've given me a massive confidence boost, as I see I fit in the 1950s!

      You are naturally beautiful. Dont Hurt your body to fit in a weak ideal of beauty. Thats is too small minded for you. You deserve greatness and powerfull things, full of meaning and glory, you deserve a full laugh, a great food, beautifull days, Nice walks, swimming and dancing. You deserve your body in all the beautiful ways you can experience it. Sorry for mistakes, english is my 2 language. 😘😘

    I’m old enough to remember “heroin chic” 😆 so I’m not at all swayed by toxic beauty standards. They change in response to popular figures, so don’t be a follower: be a trend setter.

    (In regard to appearances) Being true to yourself and being confident in who you are, should be the ultimate beauty standard.

    I think my face is more vintage looking, like it would fit the beauty standards much much more if I was born like 80-100 years ago

    • @annika_27
      @annika_27 Před 13 dny +3

      For me it’s 300 years ago. Pale skin, double chin, round face and chubby body shape. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that people back then would have drawn me on paintings and envied the features that I got bullied for all throughout my life 🥲

    I think this concept is one of the reasons me and so many other girls are so invested in vintage fashion and makeup, it feels more authentic and truly gives us confidence. :)

    I actually feel pretty lucky that I never got caught up with any of the beauty standards. I was never raised to care about that. I have often thought I was born in the wrong era though, but that's not because of any 'beauty standards'. Thanks for standing up for us average looking beauties.❤

      If that's you in the picture, you look really pretty you don't need to fit those crazy standards ❤

    I love this kind of video, thank you so much for helping us to start accepting and loving our faces and our unique beauty.
    and I strongly believe that something else that makes us attractive is our attitude and confidence, loving ourselves is the key so for every girl reading this: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

    I am 57 and I could tell you we definitely had different standards in the 70s and 80s. Bette Davis is my all time favorite actress!

    I would have been considered an absolute earth goddess if i was in the 1950s. I hope Marilyn Monroe looks come back into style soon. Either way, whether it becomes the standard again or not, I'm proud of my looks now. Stephanie helped so much with me embracing my not trendy beauty.

    This video was so healing. It's so refreshing to hear that you are not unlucky for having these certain features -- You are unlucky only with timing. I can appreciate my features that do fit today's standards, but now also feel satisfied knowing my other ones are not actually "wrong" or "bad".
