How Fashion And Makeup Trends Get You To Reject Your Genes
We all have that one feature we’d give anything to change: a smaller forehead, a slimmer nose, or plumper lips. In some ways, it’s natural to be dissatisfied with some aspect of our physical appearance, but simultaneously, we’re targeted by social media and current trends to, ironically, make ourselves look as unflattering as possible.
Instead of tapping into our natural beauty and enhancing what we already have, we’re subscribing to popular products that aren’t made for us. But the features we’re born with are made for us, and yet we’d rather go after today’s crazy fads than embrace what our ancestors have given us. Though we might forget sometimes, the beauty and fashion industries are businesses that seek to make a profit above all, and it’s their bottom line and dictated trends that get us to reject our genes.
