Many women around the world live hostage to dissatisfaction caused by unrealistic beauty standards sold by the fashion and entertainment industries. Everyone, after all, wants to have the full lips of Angelina Jolie, the sculptural body of Beyoncé, the beautiful green eyes of Rihanna and the very thin waist of Kim Kardashian.
However, one must keep in mind that every woman has her own beauty and that no one needs to be within the standards to be loved or to love themselves. Self-esteem is for all of us, fat, skinny, tall, short.
Besides, the idea of perfection is just an idea. Even the aforementioned celebrities, who are held up as the ultimate beauty ideal, deal with the same issues as the rest of us. Many of them have acne, spots on the skin, wrinkles. And yet they are beautiful. Hard to believe, is not it? But believe me, it’s the purest truth!
In the selection of photos below, you can see close-up images of some of the most beautiful women in the world. You’ll see that, up close, they look just like any of us.
