In a society that places huge emphasis on beauty, many individuals have struggled to fit into the standard of beauty that their society deems acceptable.

Beauty has evolved throughout history with different cultures accepting beauty from different perspectives.

Most individuals will generally describe beauty as a feature of an object that makes the object pleasurable to perceive.

Beauty has been distorted, misinterpreted and stalked by a wide number of conflicting pressures caused by public norms (magazine covers).

It is something many individuals endlessly strive for, rather than appreciate the true essence of their natural beauty many turn to cosmetic procedure to fit in with the ‘beauty norms’.

It is said that the best part of beauty is that which no picture can express. Beauty runs deeper than just appearance, beauty is simple, it’s pure, it’s happy, its love, it’s kindness – it is you!
