Beauty ideals in one culture can cross over into another culture. This can be seen in examples of Asian women undergoing facial modifications to appear like Western women. The Asian women go to extreme lengths to modify their faces so they no longer appear Asian. This includes prosthetic noses, fake eyelashes, contact lenses and fake chins. And of course, a LOT of makeup. Not only are they modifying themselves to appear as that of another culture, but they are also portraying themselves as ultra-feminine, with the big eyes and the soft looking makeup.

It seems like modern cultural expectations dictate that men's bodies are to be 'hard' - muscular, sporty etc. while women's bodies are to be 'soft' - beautiful, lithe etc. The above image is an exaggerated concept of this. The women, modelling a bikini on what I assume to be a catwalk, is extremely thin, while the man, who appears to be partaking in a body building competition, has muscles bulging everywhere. The existence of modelling and body building competitions creates a cultural construct that leads us 'average' folk to believe that this is what we should strive for, and should be engaging in such body modifications such as extreme dieting or extreme working out sessions to achieve such an ideal.
