Beauty/Honesty
Response
Can Beauty Be Honest?
There is a very obvious response to
the question, “Can beauty be honest?”. The world we live in is a world based on
technology and perfection. Every single photo no matter if it is on the
internet or on a magazine, is photo shopped until it looks as perfect as it can
possibly be. Every photo of a person on the cover of a magazine, man or woman,
contains them wearing make up too. People do not realize what one single photo
undergoes before it is considered perfect which is why beauty can never be
honest because no one ever visually sees the true image.
People are always judging others
based on how they look all dressed up rather than their natural selves without
make up on. Make up, photo shopping and anything else that can change a person’s
perspective of an image takes away from the true beauty of the actual photo or
person. Natural beauty will never be a selling product to any of the population
because it is taken for granted. In other words, majority of people base beauty
off of a so-called, “fake” image rather than the true image.
In Cameron Russell’s Talk Video, she
explains deeply her view on what beauty actually means to the general
population. She states that people see beauty as pretty, white and abnormally
skinny. Beauty is seen differently but each and every person. She also explained her personal experience of
her first modeling shot. She stated that she was so young and had not even
gotten her period yet, yet the photographer made her look so much older than
she actually was. This explains exactly why beauty is perceived differently by
majority of the population.
Beauty can never be honest. Majority
of the world thinks of beauty as a stunning, skinny girl with a whole lot of
make up on. This will assure that a photo’s natural beauty can never be seen.
Cameron Russell emphasized her view on true beauty especially by explaining the
amount her modeling image was photo shopped. People will always base beauty off
of perfection, which is the number one reason why beauty will never be honest.
