Living in a digitized era, communication has now become easier and faster with the emergence of various social applications available at the click of a button. Technological developments have given rise to various gadgets including smart-phones, tablets, and laptops to robots too. Social media refers to the use of websites and applications to create and share content or to participate in social networking. This is an emerging area of research that is of high importance to the physical and mental health in the beauty, health and hospitality industry with the latter being manifested in depression, anxiety and fear of non-acceptability and being seen as a social gauche. The aim was to review social networking sites’ impact on perception of standards of beauty and newer unrealistic trends gaining popularity that could alter opinions and also cause harm to individuals in the long run. There is support that social media affects individuals negatively, in pushing them to engage in life threatening beauty trends due to social compliance and acceptance in society. The researchers have summarized the literature on how social media plays a role in affecting beauty trends, body image and self-esteem concerns. This chapter analyzes the role of social media and its effects on the standards of beauty. Short-term decisions to alter one’s body structure irrespective of genetic, environmental, occupational and nutritional needs can leave medium- and long-term effects. In America, it’s about enjoying being a woman and celebrating it.Beauty is concerned with physical and mental health as both are intimately related. Before, it was kind of a rock-and-roll attitude and messy hair. Now you see French actresses trying to make some effort and blow-dry their hair and wear a nice dress. In the past few years, we’ve seen these glamorous American women on the red carpet. America is really inspiring us in a good way. They’re sexy, but not glamorous.įor many years, being glamorous wasn’t that cool. If anything else, it’s a strong, sexy messy eye that looks like they did it with their fingers, which is probably true. All they do is strong lipstick, nothing else - maybe pink. Most of them don’t wear anything, have super-long, messy hair, and focus on the way they dress. And even among the young girls, I saw that being natural is really something we have in our DNA. I was looking at the younger generation while walking around in France. In the U.S, we see the younger generation experimenting more with contouring. And brows give some structure to the face. We also like more fresh blush - it’s more in the center or on the bones to help sculpt. We can put it on the bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, and cheekbones to catch the light. I use a metallic cream (like Dior’s Glow Maximizer). It’s more natural to play with highlights. You can grab the light with glow-y texture. We’ll play with the light rather than with the shadow. What is the French-preferred method to add dimension to the skin, if not to contour? We don’t want you to see that we have anything on the skin. Frenchwomen - we almost don’t wear foundation. The reason we can’t do contouring is because contouring needs fixer, foundation, blush, highlighter, you need many products. We admire it, we just can’t seem to apply the same philosophy to ourselves for some reason.ĭoes the word contouring even exist in the French vocabulary? We think that American beauty is very inspiring and very glamorous. We only can do 15 minutes of makeup every morning. We are also very rebellious - we don’t want to have this one beauty philosophy. In France, it’s like, this is the way I am. Here in America, you accept the best version of yourself. Even if we don’t have the best cheekbones, we put the focus on our lips or lashes. That’s what makes the French look so specific. Why don’t French women practice contouring ?Ĭontouring is not our thing because the main beauty philosophy in France is to accept who you are. (Contouring: just another item on the list of French women’s “don’ts.”) The Cut spoke to Violette, former International Makeup Designer and consultant for Dior, to explain why Frenchwomen aren’t interested in trying out “correctional makeup.” Here’s another reason for Frenchwomen to brag: According to French editorial makeup artist Violette, none of them are struggling to understand the mysteries of contouring.
