The secret of beauty - Altered Apearances!!

Before talking about anything else, let us know first, what is beauty in actual sense???

Well, Everybody has different perspective and different thoughts about beauty. But keeping in mind, what I feel about beauty is very simple and straight i.e. Beauty is an idea and everybody's idea of beauty is unique.

It's been thousands years ago, for as long as we have been civilised, the secret of beauty and attractiveness has been a quest of humans. Many women and also the men spend up to one-third of their income on looking good. Why? This is what we are going to come up with. Well, the answer is very clear. Every body wants to be beautiful to have beautiful impression on other people.

Well, one's beauty is not a true beauty until you don't get to know what is a real beauty means? While we instinctively know what appeals to our own sense of beauty -- we know it when we see it -- defining what determines attractiveness is not always easy. In frustration, we often give up and claim that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." But is beauty really a personal phenomenon? This is what one should understand. There are many questions rolling in my mind now. Like do beauty and happiness go together? What is the relation between beauty and the sublime? And my answer would be very simple that the sublime is our reaction in the face of something so overpowering that it consumes or obliterates us. There is a saying that truth is beauty and beauty is truth, but is that correct? But I think it is false. Why does beauty matter? Beauty standards and practices have changed over time.

Today's beauty is an altered appearances. Its mean the world of cosmetics, tanning, body piercing, botulinum toxin, etc.

These days the cosmetics industry is one of the largest industry in the world, since cosmetics are often advertised as symbols of women's rights and independence, just slightly larger than the amount needed each year to provide reproductive health care for all women in developing countries like India. Cosmetic companies are essentially free to make exaggerated claims regarding their products, and those producing anti-aging creams frequently do, using celebrity and/or physician spokespersons and scientific-sounding names.

And tanning is the process in which skin pigmentation darkens as a result of exposure to ultraviolet light. It represents the skin's response to ultraviolet light injury; thus, there is no such thing as a "safe tan." Also, tattooing is an aesthetic choice, for others an initiation rite, and for some disabled individuals, a time-saving way to overcome difficulties in applying regular temporary makeup. Some obtain tattoos as an adjunct to reconstructive surgery, particularly of the face and breast, to simulate natural pigmentation; others to camouflage vitiligo.

Well, body piercing is very common. It has been practised since ancient times, as seen in art and antiquities. The prevalence of body piercing among undergraduates is as high as 50%. Body piercing include the earlobe, ear cartilage, eyebrow, tongue, lips, nose, umbilicus, nipples, and external genitalia.

Botulinum toxin can temporarily reduce or erase wrinkles due to normal aging; it does not work well on sun- or smoking-induced wrinkles. Its more conventional medical uses include treatment of blepharospasm, spasmodic torticollis, axillary hyperhidrosis, and achalasia.

Some grooming tips for women:

1. Make the most of the 'windows on your soul' by adding eyeliner, highlighter and mascara to emphasise and open up the area, and go easy on blusher and lipstick so the immediate focus is on your eyes. That should give them plenty to gaze into longingly…

2. Men like long hair for a reason - it feels soft and silky in contact with their hands and skin. To get hair they're aching to touch, make sure your hair's clean, use an intensive moisturising conditioner once a week to maintain body and don't use any product except a squirt of shine spray.

3. Wear knee-length boots with tights, though - bare legs and sticky leather don't go. These are a winner on both fronts - women love them because they look stylish with everything from short skirts to jeans, while men adore the suggestive naughtiness of a long boot.

4. The one thing all of people's favourite style icons have in common is their ability to project an image of being entirely comfortable in their own skin. So be confident in whatever you wear and whatever you do.

5. Shave those parts of the body that are normally associated with smooth skin. Under your armpits, on your legs at least from the knees down and around your bikini line if you're going to be prancing around in a bathing suit. Unwanted hair is a huge turn off for both men and women.

6. When you use makeup it is to enhance your appearance and not hide it. Accessories should compliment the clothing and body, they should not have you as a walking display case because excess can be a mess.

7. Most people who wear too much fragrance don't even realize they have that much on since we quit smelling our own scent quickly but it's a turn off for lots of other people, so the naked skin wins when it comes to wearing fragrance. Therefore, the only good way to use fragrance is on the naked skin because it wins!

8. Lastly, being clean is very important. Wash your whole body including inside your ears, between your toes and any other part of your anatomy that has flesh close to flesh that tends to be un-fresh! What a way to say wash everywhere! That goes for both women and men. So if you don't shower each day then at least do a sponge bath on any areas that perspire.

I hope this grooming tips will help you a lot. Some body has well-said and so true that a beautiful woman is a diamond but truthful, honest, trustworthy woman is a treasure.

And finally I would just like to add that beautiful person is that who does beautiful, who says beautiful and who feels beautiful and helps other people to do the same!

So, feel like beauty and you will be a beauty queen and enjoy altered appearance which is the secret of today's beauty!!!

Happy reading!!
