The Ugly Side Of Beauty

Beauty is a discussion that tin halt conjure upward an icon of bliss for some, as well as hurting for others. It tin halt live a ready of ideals, or a path of inspiration or fifty-fifty aspiration. As a pocket-sized town girl, growing upward inwards the middle of nowhere I idolized the type of beauty that I saw inwards magazines as well as movies.

As an eleven twelvemonth old daughter only starting high schoolhouse I didn't gibe into that icon of beauty, which seemed to live inwards everyone's minds. I had a physical facial scar which turned into a mental scar later a few classroom bullies sentiment it would live fun to telephone telephone me 'scar face'. After a menage unit of measurement fellow member bought me my get-go concealer to 'cover it up' - my obsession amongst brand upward was born. I learnt at a immature age, how dissimilar brand upward tin halt brand yous feel. Granted looking dorsum I tin halt say yous that the concealer didn't encompass upward my scar, was probable iii shades besides night for my pale peel as well as applied incorrectly - but it made me experience better.

Which is where my ugly obsession amongst beauty began. It seemed similar growing up, nil was ever right for me as well as at that topographic point was ever something which could live improved, concealed as well as analyzed. I wanted to await similar the girls inwards the magazines, the women on tv set as well as the glamorous women who slinked downwardly the scarlet carpet at The Oscars. Being seen without brand upward was frowned upon, at that topographic point were magazines dedicated to pointing out people's flaws. Being pale was, as well as inwards many ways withal is seen every bit a negative as well as unattractive, as well as magazines were ever quick to signal out if individual was looking 'pasty' or without brand up.

However, growing upward inwards 2014, is well-nigh an solely dissimilar basis to growing upward inwards the nineties or noughties every bit Blogs as well as vloggers are everywhere and It seems to me that the ugly side of beauty is starting to live broken downwardly - amongst online campaigns such every bit the '#nomakeupselfie' making the rounds, girls are well-nigh feeling to a greater extent than confident inwards their peel than ever.

Youtubers are becoming to a greater extent than pop than celebrities as well as the beauty basis is struggling to decease along upward sometimes. I'm hoping that these exciting beauty avenues volition live a positive influence on the novel generation of beauty lovers out at that topographic point every bit I for one, would much rather alive inwards a basis where girls are idolizing Zoella than Katie Price, as well as where demure fashion is to a greater extent than pop than glamour model chic - as well as every bit a onetime playboy bunny loving girl, that is an slowly pick to make.

For this blogger, the ugly side of beauty is the sentiment or motion that inwards gild to live beautiful yous bring to await a for certain way... as well as every bit shameful every bit it sounds, it took me over 20 years to realize that isn't true. I'm proud to lastly experience confident inwards my ain peel as well as for the get-go fourth dimension inwards my life, I experience similar I'm lastly finding truthful beauty.
