Asian beauty standards

Hi
(edited 4 years ago)
I mean I dont know what you look like but asian beauty standards tend to prefer a more eurasian look (ie smaller nose, paler skin, bigger eyes) although it varies between countries (my mum is from Hong Kong)
Why do you want to know if you're attractive by asian standards?

Aww I was so ready to drag Fair and Lovely by the hair across this forum :redface:
Also, I think beauty is beauty. This is regardless or skin shade, hair or eye colour and where in the world you are. :smile:

You're thread reads 'Asain Beauty Standards.'
One of the biggest skin bleaching creams in South Asia is 'Fair and Lovely.'

It’s such a good south Asian meme. :congrats:
I know :smile: But I believe once you see beauty that doesn't fit into the standards, your standards change or you cease to have any at all. The current standard in Asia is white skin, big eyes, small straight noses. Is this necessarily what the most beautiful people on the planet have? No :smile: Does Asia deny that a person is beautiful because they aren't the standard porcelain doll they perceive to be beautiful? Nope.
