In "I Want to Be Miss America," writing by Julia Alvarez, she shares her experience of moving from her home in the Dominican Republic to New York, and the difficulties that accompanied it. Alvarez and her family discovered solace in making watching the Miss America Pageant a yearly convention. With this however, stemmed the development of instabilities from seeing the magnificence guidelines that America held for ladies. Alvarez communicates the distinctions she sees that her and her four sisters had in contrast with different young ladies she would find in school. To fit in, they wanted to make themselves look more "excellent" by fixing their wavy hair, shaving their legs, and putting on something else. Through all the agony of attempting to adjust to American culture, Alvarez acknowledges it is a lot further than simply attempting to change her actual appearance. She would consistently be diverse in light of the fact that she was not really American and would before long discover that she should discover excellence and certainty inside herself.

Alvarez and her sisters needed to fit in on the grounds that it isn't fun being viewed as various growing up. Particularly having moved from their nation of origin to the US and appearing to be unique from normal American young ladies, makes them stick out much more. They were simply attempting to feel more great, yet thusly they needed to surrender a piece of their character.

The nearest thing I can say my family had as a custom growing up was leasing motion pictures from Redbox once every week. I recall continually getting eager to go to the neighborhood service station or Harris Teeter that had a Redbox. It was amusing to have the option to pick another film that came out half a month earlier, and carry it home to watch with my sisters and guardians. As it were, watching films growing up additionally constructed a wonder standard in my mind for what pretty young ladies ought to resemble. They could never utilize an "terrible" young lady to depict a fundamental character in a film. This is comparable in Alvarez and her family watching the excellence expo every year and having magnificence principles subliminally put in their psyche.

From that French girl je ne sais quoi to the intricacies of the multi-step Korean skincare routine, the international cosmetic and aesthetic industries are as vast as they are unique. But, thanks to globalization, niche trends now have universal appeal. In this series, The AEDITION explores geographical markers of beauty and how they influence today's global patient and consumer.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one person thinks is attractive is often completely different than what someone else thinks. This is especially true when comparing the specific ideals of female beauty across different countries. The beauty standards set by the society we live in have tremendous influence on the styles and trends we are drawn to.

Here is an interesting example: in America, we see tan skin as beautiful. We strip down and have our bodies sprayed and contoured to get a golden glow. By comparison, a creamy complexion is considered beautiful in many parts of Asia. Japanese women often wear long sleeves and hats to the beach to keep their skin fair. When we are inundated with images of bronzed celebrities and ads for self-tanning products, it is easy to forget the same trend might not be as popular in other parts of the world.

In the past few years there have been some fascinating experiments done to see how the rest of the globe interprets beauty. In one, a journalist sent a photo of her face to freelancers in over 25 countries and asked them to make her look beautiful. A similar experiment had female graphic designers in 18 different countries Photoshop the image of a woman into the "ideal" body type according to the beauty standards where they live. In both experiments, all of the photos look vastly different from one another.

Comparisons like these fuel our fascination with global beauty trends. Why is plastic surgery so popular in South Korea? How do French women pull off an effortlessly gorgeous look? Here is a peek at how beauty is perceived and what cosmetic procedures are trending in six different parts of the world.

South Korea

The desire for a milky, smooth complexion is also popular in other parts of Asia, including South Korea. While pale skin was originally a signifier of wealth and prestige, the desire for white skin is now associated with youthfulness. The first signs of aging on Asian skin is pigmentation, not wrinkles, so men and women use beauty products with whitening agents to appear as light and ageless as possible.

These beauty products, known as K-beauty in the global market, are focused on health and hydration (we can thank South Korea for sheet face masks). It is about nourishing your skin so you look incredible with little to no makeup. Korean beauty consumers favor a dewy, glowing complexion with textured, yet natural eyebrows. Beauty trends lean towards soft, earth-toned eyeshadow and natural lips with lightly tinted color.

In South Korea, having big, wide eyes is also considered beautiful. Every year, thousands of young people undergo double eyelid surgery to make their eyes appear larger. The procedure was the third most popular cosmetic surgery worldwide in 2016, when more than 1.3 million operations were reported.

When it comes to going under the knife, nowhere in Asia is plastic surgery more popular than South Korea. The research company Gallup Korea found that roughly one in three Korean women between the ages of 19 and 29 said they had cosmetic surgery. In addition to double eyelid surgery, jaw reduction is another popular procedure and is used to slim the chin and create the highly desired "V" face shape. In Korean culture, it is not uncommon for women to undergo rhinoplasty to make the nose bridge appear higher and more pronounced.

Despite the prevalence of plastic surgery in South Korea, the desired aesthetic is not to appear overly "done." Rather, a woman undergoes a series of small and subtle operations to look different from everyone else - a more beautiful version of herself.

France

French ideals of beauty are imperfect, laid-back, and undone. In France, women believe the notion of beauty should be pleasing to oneself above all, and that the most beautiful women are the ones who look effortlessly gorgeous. Rather than using irritating skincare products, crash dieting, and plastic surgery to make themselves feel beautiful, women in Paris prioritize pleasure and love their bodies as they are.

When it comes to maintaining a flawless complexion, the French base their beauty routines on prevention, or "tweakments", rather than quick fixes. Women take care of their skin from a young age using beauty routines and secrets passed down from their mothers and grandmothers. However, the French's unfussy attitude towards beauty does not mean plastic surgery is off the table.

According to the most recent Global Aesthetic Survey released by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in France. Eyelid surgery is also common, listed as the number one facial cosmetic operation. Fillers and injections of botulinum toxin, a.k.a. Botox®, are the most common non-surgical procedures among French women.

Brazil

When we think about Brazilian beauty standards, the Brazilian Butt Lift and barely-there waxes are the first things that come to mind. This South American country is obsessed with beauty and being attractive is perceived as crucial to getting a job and finding a partner. In fact, beauty is such a central part of life in Brazil that plastic surgery is free or low-cost in public hospitals. This intense longing to be beautiful has made Brazil the seco
