«Who’s the fairest of them all»? — 11 strange standards of female beauty from around the world

Each person has they own ideas about beauty. But usually these ideas are the same for people who live in the same territory, who practice the same religion, who follow the law of the same state.

The standards of some countries may seem strange and incomprehensible to us, but no matter what, it is necessary to respect other culture and values, whatever they may be. Today we have prepared for you a list with the standards of beauty in some countries of the world.

Ireland

The real Irish were red-haired, pale, green-eyed. But nowadays it is not often possible to meet a representative of this nation with such appearance. That is why the Irish keep the memory of their ancestors sacred and celebrate people with this appearance.

Japan

In addition to the fact that in this country, beauties are white girls with big eyes and a straight nose, there is another strange benchmark. Oddly enough, in the land of the rising sun, a girl has to have crooked teeth to be noticed.  This is why many women go to the dentist to have their teeth crooked.

Iran

This country is a leader in rhinoplasty, because almost all girls have their noses done. It is the beautiful facial features — especially a straight nose — that is considered the main standard of beauty here.

South Korea

And Korean women aspire to have a heart-shaped face, which is considered to be the standard of beauty in this country. Also in Korea, naturalness and a gentle face are valued. Just like in Iran, here also most of the girls have plastic surgery.

France

The representatives of this country believe that it is necessary to be as close to nature as possible. The reason is that since the Middle Ages they had a negative attitude towards hygiene products and cosmetics.

Tajikistan

Everyone strives for beautiful straight eyebrows, but not Tajik women. In this country, they value thick, ungroomed eyebrows, unibrows. Practically all girls get their eyebrows done, they make them look as thick as possible.

Saudi Arabia

Arabian women know very well all the methods of how to paint their eyes to seduce men with a single look. And the reason is that the rest of their body and face is covered, only their eyes are visible.

China

The main beauty standard in this country is the pale skin, which almost all Chinese women strive for.

Myanmar

It is here that they wear these thick rings around the neck, which should be as long as possible. Of course, it is very painful and uncomfortable, but what can you do when beauty requires sacrifice.

New Zealand

If the representatives of this country do not have tattoos, then they will be considered unattractive and no one will take them as a wife. Here tattoos are valued more than jewelry, which is why from childhood girls get tattoos for themselves.

Ethiopia

The larger the clay disk, which must be placed in the lower jaw, the more beautiful the woman is. Just imagine what it’s like for female representatives with such a disc in her mouth.
