We really need to start focusing on personal beauty, instead of cult beauty. We all look different and so should aim to look like the best version of ourselves
But I think for most people, the best version of ourselves would be to fit into society's beauty standards Like I think I would look so much better with a small nose and a rounder forehead, and those are beauty standards So it doesn't matter if you change yourself for your "personal beauty" or the "cult beauty", because the result will be the same.
As an east asian who grew up want big cheekbones,big lips, slant eyes i remember people bullying me for big lips in asia but in england everyone loved big lips
@@JaY-nn6ss i got bully for looking like a bratz doll (big lips, slanted eyes) in asia but when i came to england i saw everyone overline their lips and use tape to slant their eyes
LEDii it’s depends because I know in Caribbean and North America black communities it’s a big deal to be light skin but in Africa, the general population really don’t care to much about skin tone because it was only when I moved to the west that I really noticed that being dark skin is “bad”
Brit JJ There are 48 countries in Asia. Each country has its own president, culture and landscape. Beauty standards are going to vary from country to country (e.g. variance in Japanese and Korean beauty standards). A video was still produced about Asian beauty standards, so though it may take time, effort and resources to create a video geared toward beauty standards across the African Diaspora, I don’t see why that makes it impossible. Maybe I should be more clear that I would be interested in seeing a video like this that possibly covers the Diaspora by regions of Africa, the U.S. and the Caribbean and compares beauty standards or examines how U.S. and Caribbean standards may be influenced by certain regions across Africa.
I'm well aware Lisa is south-east Asian. You don't have to come from a specific region to have phenotypical features desired by a group other than your own. This doesn't mean that she's necessarily the South Asian ideal but she is close to the East Asian one from the features preferred in the studies.
Lisa has an outline eye lid, which is very rare for East Asians and she probably got it from her white father. Jennie or Sana would’ve been more appropriate since you already put them in the video. This drifts off the topic but the thumbnail may suggest that Asians want to look like Caucasians but majority of the Asians don’t want western features and no we don’t want to be fairer to look like white people nor do we want big eyes like Caucasians. Asians have large eyes too, for eg : Yangzi Jihyo,TzuyuChaeyoung, Hannah Quinlivan,Vicki Zhao etc
chuudori oh really wow then it’s amazing that she has those eyes while being Asian. It’s so Rare to get outline eyelids and I think in Kpop too only Jihyo has it.
I remember when I was in high school, I tried to make my lips look smaller by only applying lipstick in the middle of my lips but nothing I could do with my big nose and sharp jawline. And now with nearly 8 years of jumping between Europe and Vietnam, I just don't care about beauty standard anymore since I would never fit in either =))
@@dc9067 haha, the song is just a mood booster and it works every single time. I am also insecure about my nose still but no longer tempted to "fix" it. I think how we carry ourselves is more important because I know people who carry themselves so well that I overlook their facial features.
I cant speak for southeast asians but for east asians, the ideal male standards are a defined but narrow jaw, more almond face shape, dark defined eyebrows, high nose bridge, deeper set eyes, and thinner lips.
Im southeast asian, and most adult men are the opposite of the Kpop style. Wide jaw or strong jaw, rarely lean and is usually either very skinny or very chunky, given our diet is mostly rice. However, our standards of the perfect male consist of similar standards as those up north: women (of my peer group atleast) think that fairer skin, lean build, tall height, short clean cut hair, slim face, small unflattened nose, youthful, all that but natural, are features that they think are most attractive on a male. Anecdotal though.
yeah, he just describes it in a way that no one I’ve seen has used. many people probably just recognize that someone’s nose looks bad or good, or if their nostrils are particularly big
We all have preferences for everything, most of us just don't notice it outright. But in East Asia people notice the size of your head, the shape of your forehead, and the height of the nose bridge a lot more than in the West.
U also forgot that they all prefer these because it makes their faces "smaller". Small face in comparison to body is very huge for them. They even bash women for having bigger face than men on selfie. On shows, they are mindful of who they stand with as it can make their face look "big" in relative to the opposite person.
@@wolftownesque yeesss!! But it's also unconsciously how westerners view "pretty" faces. The head-body ratio must be 7heads-1body or more ideally 8 heads. It's the "model" proportion. And also lot of people lose fats because the face gets these fats and also the chins and it makes ur proportion off because the head looks "bigger"
@@vl2663 they'd shit on you for being short and looking like a child. Blackpink Jennie one of the most gorgeous women ever is constantly called a choding which is korean slang for elementary school student.
Mitchell Couchman very true. people with nice individual features usually end up with pretty and normal faces. if you look at models, they frequently have a very unique beauty to their faces and not all their features are individually considered beautiful. all that aside, you don’t necessarily need to have nice features or harmony either way. beauty is being comfortable in your own skin.
@Did your reflection beat you in rock paper scissors No, aesthetics is a science, universal beauty standards has its foundation from evolutional biology and psychology, so yeah to an extent it has influences from society, but you cannot reject your uglyness if you are really ugly because of the degenerate society you live in.
As an adopted person from Asia who grew up in Canada, I never knew what to do with myself. Should I have double eyelids and curly hair or should I flatten my wavy-ish hair and straighten my brows? I have a light caramel skin tone which tans easily so it was envied in Canada but when I moved to China it was brought up all the time. So basically I ignored every standard and did whatever I want.
I relate to this soooo much. I live in Ontario and I am also adopted. I really don’t stand with “white” beauty standards or fit in with other Asians either. It’s so strange. Even if I am a Canadian, it still feels like people see CHINESE when they look at me.
I relate somewhat to this since I’m Bangladeshi/south Asian, but born in England, so I didn’t know whether to please my parents or my peers/try to fit the English beauty standards, so instead, like you, I just do what I want, and what I like is an integration of all sorts of things, I mean we all have different features and different things that suit us on different parts of the face, even hair, clothes etc.. so yeah. Much love ❤
We haven't forgotten about the fashion and hairstyle videos. I want to do them correctly and accurately so the team is working on other topics and content in the meantime.
Yeah why would Asians want to look white lol I'm just saying as an asian, we are so much cuter, it's in our genetics or something , I'm not trying to be rude but meh
I don't think that participants living in California would be very representative of what the current beauty standards are in east Asia. The study would be accurate in showing Japanese-American beauty standards vs. Korean-American beauty standards, but not much else
The study supported the conclusion that the standards are unique in their own right and not an emulation of the west which was a common paradigm for the period. That's why that was included then contrasted with the Chinese mainland standards which are also similar.
it's kind of weird because my asian friends (girls) find latino women very beautiful, and stereotypically, we latinas are not precisely porcelain white or innocent looking
I think it’s because we humans don’t hold different ethnicities to the same beauty standard that our own, since the face features are undeniably different. I’ve observed the same here in Latin America: even though we prefer for ourselves defined features, a curvy body and a more mature look, East Asians are still considered beautiful here for their dainty, feminine and delicate features.
I remember watching Miss Universe for the very first time when I was a kid and from then on I've always thought that latinas are the most beautiful women ever, I'm asian too btw
This video was really interesting, I think when someone says "Asian people are getting some work done because they try to look white." It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, it kinda feels like everything is about them (white people)... Could you do next time video about Middle east and Caucasus beauty? That would be pretty interesting topic too
@Emperor ofcourse I can't deny that, I agree with you, but people are only mentioning that eastern beauty is infused by western, it sounds like western beauty wasn't influenced also by east and no one or just a few people are taking about that
@@LM-ix7pk yes, ethnicities like georgians, armenians... those who were in Ottoman empire... because of it culture was mixed and they influenced each other... so I think it would be interesting to look at it nowadays
@N S yes, irene and jisoo are far more popular examples on natural face shape/dimentions alone. lisa is popular, but not for having the mathematically perfect face like irene
I think it's highlighting the influence of westernization and also the impact of a smaller community of asians. Immigrant groups tend to cluster together (why we have Chinatowns, Little Saigons, etc) so they would have less of an influence from the changing standards of their home countries. And of course, Southern California is where Hollywood is, so clearly that level of media saturation (with a heavy predominance on white faces) would factor into beauty standards.
I'd love it if you covered African beauty standards. In my country most celebrities are lighter and I wonder if that has to with colonialism. They have greater opportunities in the job market etc.
As an african, I actually don't want that😂. Most people tend to be tone deaf, or miss the mark. Id rather people don't talk about us if they won't get it right. We get enough crap about us lying around. I'm not keen to see any more added to it ya know.
Also in the west there isn't a standard beauty all overe the hemispher, here in Italy for example we prefer highly feminine women, with that same kind of youthfull roundness you described about asian beauty. We prefer overall fine features instead of squareness and I feel that also in other european countries is almost the same, such as in France, with a major difference mostly between the american concept of beauty and the european one.
I mean that would be a pandora box lol I don't think Indonesians even have a specific beauty standards because a lot of Indonesians are mixed and some love the western look but some also love the eastern look so who knows lol
Not all want white skin-_-. Look at "Marion Jola, Citra scholastica" and another indonesian actress they maintain their natural sunkissed tan skin but they still look georgeous.
im FILIPINA, southeast asian i remember growing up here in the philippines they used to bully me for having dark skin and big nose they told me i look like a CHIMPANZEE, but years go by when i was 16 i started to appreciate my dark tan skin and one day i have decided to threw away all of my whitening products and changed them to tanning oils and tanning sprays ❤️
Can you do a video about Southeast Asian beauty standards and how they are similar and/or different to East Asian beauty standards please? That would be so interesting and you also gained a new subscriber from me
There is a slang term online called “Gangnam Unnie” referring to a girl in Korea with the typical big double eyelids, v shaped jawline and high nose bridge. It kind of points out that many girls there get plastic surgery because there seems to only be one mold of ideal beauty that they all go after. Therefore, they all begin to look similar through surgery. edit: Sorry if I get anything wrong here!! I only saw this concept on an internet forum recently and I'm just reciting it XD
Gangnam Unnie is not generally used for people who fit into the mold, they go beyond, only people that look "botched" are called Gangnam unnies. If you google the term, you will only find "extreme" looking people.
A video of different types of beauty standards in Europe, including Slavic and Scandinavian would be amazing!! People tend to forget Scandinavia when they speak about Europeans
me wondering when the media is going to notice that south east asian people exist too, everyones image of asia is immediately what korean or japanese beauty standard is, there's a whole region of us here in SEA with very diverse cultures and appearances who severely lack representation
As a licensed cosmetologist for years now ... I’ve gotta say that’s such a broad and complicated subject ... lmao. There’s truly way too many different faceshapes .. and you also have to take hair TYPE and THICKNESS into account. Straight, wavy, curly. Thin, thick, coarse, kinky. Way too much to cover in a single video . Just go to your hairdresser, they’ll know what to do 😂
I'd rather to suggest Aly Art, Brad Mondo uses the old fashioned "face shape" system (rectangular, round, heart) While Aly Art uses the Kibbe body type system which talks about lines and is waaaaay more accurate. Plus she has many videos talking about hair, not just one or two. I could never find my face shape with the basic system, but when I found kibbe type I learned the first thing to take into account is the lines of the faces, not the shape itself. It literally changed my life when it comes to style. EDIT: this channel is more about describing beauty standards and attractiveness from a proportions and scientific studies point of view, analizing features and how they change from race and ethnicity. When we talk about what kind of color, hair and clothing style is the most suitable that's called personal image analysis, a completely different matter since it's, well, personal. Defining beauty ≠ personal style analysis
@@katitadeb I have watched her videos but i find it soo difficult to accurately find out my body type using the kibbe system. Do you have any tips for that?
@barcaman101 Are you joking white people (Europeans) are some of the most diverse people. You have redheads, blonds, brunettes, and blue, green, brown eyes, skin tone from very light to tan, tall and short. Also various face features even withing a country.
I never understood the V line surgery, tbh. In some cases it looks extremely weird, especially on guys... Not to mention, it's also very dangerous. Wide jaws are sexy.
Thank you for being specific and titling the video “EAST Asian” bcs a lot of people tend to think of only East Asian countries such as Japan, China and Korea as just Asia and completely forget abt South and South East Asian countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. We get completely forgotten :(
India is not SEA, India is SA. And in US when ppl say Asian they think of East Asian. In UK when they say Asian they usually mean South Asian, EAs are called Orientals there.
Funny how the thumbnail on a vid about east asian beauty is thai/south east asian. Great video though. The standards are there not bcs of the want to look western
It has been repeated millions of times, but mono-lids to me are so pleasant to look at. I struggle with eye contact, but with mono-lids you have all my attention lol.
It depends. Asian actually like monolids on man a lot. Because it makes the man look more grown up and attractive, depends on your other features. For women really depends. If you want to go for a cool look monolids is attractive. If you want to go for cute route, double lid is cuter.
I don't think there's a standard unless you want to dive into classical Arabic poetry which usually describes long black soft hair, pale skin, round face, large eyes, thick lashes and a small waist.
arab beauty standards are really confusing that’s definitely true. where there do lay some features that are seen as attractive all around the mena region eg: big almond shaped eyes, plump lips, prominent cheekbones, a small waist, thick hair and a straight, thin nose. other standards vary due to where you’re talking about. olive skin, dark eyes, thick dark long hair and an hourglass figure are seen as typical arabian gulf/ khaleeji beauty standards while lighter eyes, coloured hair, more petite tall figures and paler skin are considered beautiful traits in the leavantine region. although i must say standards in the middle east aren’t as straightforward as they are in east asia and has a much broader spectrum on beauty.
@@m-6820 It's black thick hair not soft or it can be both. Also I don't think back then they knew anything about pale skin, I think you mean "بشرة بيضاء" and that's basically wheatish skin colour to Arabs of back then. Even today they still use that term for the same skintone.
I think representation is so important, because it opens your eyes and makes you realise that there are so many ways to be beautiful. I truly believe we think a beauty standard is beautiful, because we are told it is and because we then see it a lot. We like what we are used to! So I think representing all ethnicities, shapes, sizes, etc is important, because it shows everyone that they are great the way they are and they don't have to change to be beautiful and loved and accepted!
Sure! I just have the impression that the responsibility of being inclusive is mostly given to western countries (no matter if they are immigrant countries like the US or the indigeneous population like Germany). I never see someone telling Ghana or Egypt or India or whatever „nonwhite“ country to be more inclusive and show more other ethnicities in their shows, hire more in their companies, represent more in advertising and so on.
The reason why there's a difference in preference for eyelid crease and cheekbone is likely due to differences in the gene pool. Japanese people are more mixed with Ainu people (D y-DNA haplogroup) which are known to have more neanderthal but also caucasian features like double eyelids and thinner lips. Whereas Koreans are more mixed with Mongolians (C2e y-DNA haplogroup) who naturally have high cheekbones and single eyelids. So where you live and what the average is matters a lot.
Double eye-lids aren’t a European feature. Native Americans, the aboriginal people of Oceania and the indigenous people of Greenland such as the Inuits can have monolids and they aren’t even East Asian, so why can’t East Asians have double eyelids? Besides, double eyelids are caused by having large eyeballs and/or having your eyes be more protruded out of your eye sockets. Why do you think so many Asians who have double eyelids usually have very round eyeballs that stick out of their face a bit?
it's ironic how the vid is about east asian beauty standards but the image is of Lisa who's of southeast asian descent lol Lisa's Thai boo on that note, please make a vid on southeast asian beauty~~
As an American I was taught to appreciate a variety of looks as being beautiful. There is this idea that there isn't a single beauty standard and two people can look radically different, but both be beautiful. The idea of one single cultural beauty standard is just strange to me. I'm guessing this is because there is such a mix of different ethnicities in the US.
i find it so interesting that in so many cultures a strong jawline on a woman is attractive, but in korean culture a v line shape w a softer jaw is pre (from what i understand). Its interesting that someone can be considered beautiful lots of places then not so beautiful somewhere else, even w some universal features
There’s legit a saying in Chinese （一白遮百丑）which legit means that once ur pale or white then a hundred imperfections will be covered. Being pale was popular since the ancient times because it was sign of wealth and status and could better bring out the darkness of our hair and the redness of our lips which were signs of beauty. Also when Asians tan they don’t go golden bronze like most white people do, we get more of a yellowish hue to our skin that makes us look a bit sick and was often associated with farm life and the poor. This is just from what I’ve noticed
Can you speak on Latin American beauty standards? And how that compares to people in the US vs Latin American countries? We have many heritages representing Latin American and it would be interesting to see how locations changes peoples perspective from such a diverse heritage and what they see as the beauty ideal.
before, having lived in mexico my whole life, i use to think that the world standard for beauty was what american media presented all the time, but then i moved to japan and omg i know everybody swears asian women want to look white or something like that and i think that cant be further from the truth, of course theres some type of white beauty thats very celebrated but i find its a very specific hand picked and actually kind of asian looking type of beauty, japanese beauty standards are very specific and i think even very hard to achieve by white women, its very stressing at times but its also refreshing to see how little the american opinion matters here...
@@idontcareokay48 light-colored skin: this beauty standard came waaay back in history even when east asians haven't met caucasians. So how the hell is that from western culture? By what you're saying white ppl are getting lip fillers and tans to look more black right? And some dye their hair black and make their noses smaller to look more asian? BS
@@idontcareokay48 what you're saying to me is hypocritical and nonsensical too lol what I said is exactly the same as what you said and only replaced the race
@@idontcareokay48 do all asian girls want white skin...? No many get tans too even many celebrities get tans and ppl praise them that they're beautiful. Don't be stupid :) Better watch those videos and actually listen to what it's saying cuz you missed a few points there
@@idontcareokay48 Bruh as an Asian myself, I can assure you that Asians care about pale skin because it's associated with royalty/ noblility since ancient times. Honestly, look across Asia; light skin has always been something every Asian beauty standard agree on. Peasants worked the farms and were tan, privileged people didn't need to. Heck, didn't ancient Europeans use to have the 'fair/ pale skin' standard for the exact same reasons? It was only after rich people started getting tanned from going abroad that tanned skin was considered desirable cuz 'privilege'. Even before the Europeans came to conquer the lands and establish the social hierarchy, we had established our standards. Ngl, when you're in Asia and you see a Caucasian, their strong features are very eye-catching and are very attractive. However, does that mean we want to look like them? No. In fact, we often joke about Caucasians looking way older than expected and deem it as being undesirable. Looking youthful, with the soft Asian features is the most desired. Oh yes, I wanted to add in that monolids are a purely East Asian trait and can't be found in other countries as easily.
In Korea at least, monolids are considered as masculine traits and visible double eyelids are considered feminine. I think the most handsome Korean dudes have a mix of both, a hidden double eye lid. Basically a double eyelid that's hooded and looks like a monolid.
I guess they're called "thin double eyelids." But among women, I think double eyelids are still more preferable than monolids while it has become an increasingly popular feature to have among men.
Monolids looks good for men because of representation. Lots of japanese/chinese actors with monolids portraying badass characters in the past. Plus monolids makes your eyes looks sharper.
Is ❤1:18 …. Ztuyu Zhou ? From Twice -k pop Group? 😹😍She is chinese😹 lol . They picked her among like 100 schools something like that to send her to Korea , cuz to gain Chinese Audiance 😂 😂! U picked d Wrong Person , u picked a Korean K-pop Star pic mistake that as Japanese 😂!!! N turn out she’s FULL Chinese ! I only know her face cuz she looks a bit like me in high school Lol 😅 ! N Twice is HUGE group 😅
When I first traveled to Vietnam for thr first time, I realized how different the beauty standards are. I was considered a 10 over there while I'm probably a 6 in the states 😳
I feel like the beauty standards there are more relaxed than in East Asia. But are still heavily influenced For instance, tan skin is more accepted there than in countries like China or Korea
i've always hypothesized that each culture wants to look the opposite of the standard, Koreans tend to have strong bone structure so the softer look to them must've been rare and more appreciated for its rarity. whereas in the west the stronger bone structure look was the rare one so it was more sought after there
Another thing is the "small face". I've never heard of that even if I'm southeast asian. But, in my country, we perceive the east asians (japanese, koreans) as having larger faces. So it's fascinating that people that generally have large faces have *small face* listed in their beauty checklist. I think the channel failed to mention how this is also a western influence. Portraits of East Asian women in the past used to feature much larger faces and smaller (literally slant) eyes. It's only in the late 1700s when the small face/big eyes started to arise.
In middle school I always get a backhanded compliment about my full lips and tan skin, and when I was in a dancing club the make up artists always commented about my lips, saying that mine's 'too' full and that it's hard to make red lipstick look decent because it's bigger than my eyes and nose (not good face proportion. Ps i dont even have a small nose!) and I always smiled at them and act like it didn't bother me, but it actually did. I'd hide when i passed boys on the school hallway when im wearing make up and id hide my lips when I smile. I remember when I'm at home I'd always google how to make your lips look smaller and buy a lot of lotions that advertise as a whitening lotion. That all ends after I started to watch foreign youtubers though, i remember watching tanya burr, noticing how well she carried herself and how she was praised for having lips like mine and I remember watching other youtubers who use extra bronzer and fake tan just so they can look darker and it made me realise that I don't need to buy whitening lotion or make my lips look smaller to be pretty, you just need to be confident of yourself and know how to carry and enhance your beauty. I know it's kinda cringe, but it's true.
It needs to be stated that Korean media Kpop now are having a significant impact on fashion and beauty standards world-wide, but especially throughout Asia and _especially_ in Japan, and that Korean beauty standards, kpop and Korean media are now having far more of an effect than western media has ever had in the east.
Since the world is becoming more globalised and Asian culture (Kpop, anime) is currently a big thing, I think more people are going to lean into Asian 'kawaii' aesthetics. It's only a matter of time until beauty standards around the world are no longer different.
@Buttercup baby suicide in 2021 You may say that it is the minority but how can you be sure that it will stay that way? maybe the 'minority' is rising at a fast rate? However, I do agree with you that white features, according to, society, is considered 'superior'. But, and again I ask, how can you be sure that it will stay that way?
@Buttercup baby suicide in 2021 at least in fashion many know a days trend are things i saw on east Asia years ago and to be honest the norm in usa is populirize things other countrys,Cultures do
Lisa on the thumbnail is Thai and thus southeast asian. Asia is so vast and populated. And there are mixed people like myself (Indian with East Asian) who gets confused for a east european/middle eastern. My point being, i think most modern humans are mixed at some point in our history. And beauty standards are becoming more and more uniform regardless of ethnic background. Yet in the end, exotic features are valued in a sea of look alikes. Humans are picky when it comes to beauty.
You showed zero girl that East Asians would regard as remotely beautiful, that is, 6/10 or above. It as if you are intentionally looking for ugly girls to show.
I think girls from thumbnail and video don't fit as east asian beauty standard. You should put Minju, Irene, Jisoo, Wonyoung for Korean and Kanna, Suzu Hirose, Satomi Ishihara for Japanese.
The whole video is just not accurate to be very honest. I'm not sure why I expected it to be since everytime a non east asian talk about east asian beauty standards, they always get it wrong.
People get surgeries for different goals, and while those women interviewed at the end of the video were influenced by western media on what looks beautiful, I think the general reason plastic surgery is so common in Asia (Korea and Japan were highlighted in this video) is because of how conformist those cultures are. In the west, we're seeing more people getting lip fillers because of how ALL the influencers on social media have full, plump lips. In Asia, we see so much plastic surgery because being pretty and well-groomed is seen as a MUST in society, even beyond media.
On the flip side, I’m a white woman that grew up with Asian media and would like those jaw reducing surgeries you mentioned 😂 Beauty is an endless cycle of pain and debt :-)
Asians prefer a more subtle look, westerners prefer extreme and exaggerated features. I also find Angelina Jolies jaw ridiculously square and masculine.
Angelina Jolie is so beautiful but i agree that her face shape and lips are not desirable in east asia. East asians would say that she is beautiful too, but they know that it wouldn't look good on asian women generally. West prefers more stronger well defined face unlike in the east/southeast asia were everyone prefers less defined ,soft look both on men and women. That is why a lot of asians say east asian models that work in the west look ugly. Those models are more towards western standard. I personally have high protruding cheekbones, wide square jaw, 90 grad straight shoulders and full lips. All are considered attractive by western standard, women do surgery to gain those features in the west. But in the east all those are considered as very unattractive and too masculine. I was even thinking about jaw and lip reduction surgery. But then again it is considered as an attractive feature in other part of the world so i finally understood that beauty standards are ridiculous and not universal.
I find it weird when people talk about East-Asia and only mention South-Korea, China and Japan. There's also Mongolia and Taiwan and North-Korea (tho of course finding studies about N. Korea might be impossible). Is it lack of education about what East-Asia means, lack or interest towards smaller and less significant countries or lack of sources?
Yup would love that. I always found it interesting how akmu suhyun is considered ugly in Korea (she's hell cute) but her brother(chanhyuk) said that in Mongolia she is considered a beauty. I think it's a perfect example of how even within a region, beauty standards can differ a lot. Sometimes people say Asia but also forget about SOuth asia, glad they didn't do that here but it's still not a full representation of east asia.
It is even funnier that many of the women featured in this video are from Southeast Asia. Even the thumbnail, Lisa, is Southeast Asian. We didn't really get much about East Asia as a whole.
@me Really? For me she was the first girl I met that was so much the literal definition of cute. Everything about her facial features is cute and youthful. There isn't a but of harshness, her features and everything is so soft.
Could you do a Turkey beauty standard? Because here is the thing, when people talk about Asia you only here about countries like, China, Japan and Korea. But turkey is in Asia too, or a part of it. And it also doesn’t count as Middle East, so what would be the beauty standard there? It’s hard to find something because you can’t really put turkey to Middle East, it’s part Asia but also Europe...and cultural the people and their beauty standards differ from Asia and Middle East, at least I think it does so a video would be helpful
Can you compare Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani beauty standards and how they differ please? I would also like to see more about the Middle Eastern beauty standards compared to the South-East Asian beauty standards as there isn’t much discussion about such topics when including “Asian” beauty standards.
Looking at the media i think japanese prefere neotonized features much more than koreans. Korean idols and models look tall and mature, prefered age rangining from 21 to 25. Japanese idols and models look short and childlike, prefered age being 15-21
Kawaii = childlike and pretty things that make your heart flutter? Not Cute ... Aegyo = Performed Winsomeness - a layered articulation of behaviors, gestures, vocal and linguistic adjustments, narratives and fashions that serve to enact child-like charm and infantilized cuteness like a K-pop star?
Noticed how beauty standards in countries want you look different or look like someone else in another country or have features that the other country has but you don’t and vice versa. Ex: In American they like it tanned in Philippines they want to be light skinned. Clearly beauty standards want you be insecure to gain profit
Don’t waste your youth chasing someone else’s idea of beauty. Be the best version of yourself and you’ll shine brighter than trying to be someone else.
I’m Korean and some Russian women found me attractive. I was taken aback when they asked if I was Japanese, despite having met me in Korea. And they implied Japanese people tend to be more attractive?? Tf. Not to me they’re not. Japanese beauty standards always seemed too delicate and breakable to me. Too thin everything, too large eyes. Though I can see why Russians may prefer it.
With all due respect, koreans are very ethnocentric. They think they'll culture, food, beauty are the best. You guys are not very open minded. Just saying. This came from someone who worked closely with koreans. I'm just relaying the message but I agree with her because I brought up the topic because she knows so many Koreans.
@@peacelove7437 so true. I always, ALWAYS see some knetz bashing foreign idols especially if they don't look Korean enough or if they don't dress like one. I know it's not about political strains because if you have a Japanese idol who could pass for a Korean that idol would be loved by many. Some even joked that SEA and Japanese people have bow legs (i honestly don't know what that even means) and that we're not attractive because of that.
AR234 this video discusses beauty standards. East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian beauty all associate fair skin with beauty. South Asian beauty STANDARDS aren’t as different from other beauty standards in Asia. It’s true that people do look ethnically different, but the standards have similarities to a certain extent.
Whoever feels frustrated about not fulfilling the described beauty standards in this clip: You are beautiful in your own right. You don't need anyone's validation to be beautiful. Also, beauty catches people's attention, but it doesn't necessarily capture their heart. What captivates someone is your heart. A beautiful face can only get you as far. You should cultivate a beautiful mind and a beautiful heart, too. ♥️
One of the things that I didn't like about the study done by Lindrege & Wang (sorry if i butchered the spelling of their names) is how Western-centric their conclusion was. They based their results on a small pool of participants rather than a huge population, making it far easier to make things up to pander to the "cultural ego" of the west. Considering that their study was on beauty standards itself, they should've done surveys with the general populace along with one-on-one interviews in order to get the right results.
Same! Honestly, from what I'm getting on the Chinese internet, among the few people who do get plastic surgeries, they do it because of native Chinese live broadcasters, not because of Westerners, so I'm honestly kind of confused how these two researchers got their results.
To me the East Asian preference for pale skin looks creepy - the people always seems to look pallid or "bloodless" - like they're dead. In comparison, naturally pale Northern European people simply lack melanin-related pigment. I am one such person, and for a long time used self-tanner (another strange, unnatural look) but have come to accept and be (mostly) comfortable with my somewhat transparent skin. When people wear the too-light pink or beige makeup, you can see their natural skin tone around their eyes, hairline, etc., and the contrast looks ghastly to me, as if the blood had drained from the blood vessels of the cheeks, nose and forehead. People should go with their natural skin tone and not try to cover it up or change it - all skin tones are beautiful.
"Natural skin tone" Like half of the east asian population is naturally pale. So yes, love your natural skin tone. Tanning gives you skin cancer and causes you to age faster yah?(people forget this is a HUGE factor in east asian preference for pale skin. Youthfulness.)
