the idea of unrealistic expectations and beauty standards is definitely rising by the day. the use of filters, plastic surgery and unrealistic over glamorised lifestyles cause people to feel depressed and look down on themselves when they fail to fulfil what they see and the perception of beautiful. these standards are set by society who are influenced through social media, culture, art and technology.

the kardashians are a prime example of celebrities that set unrealistic expectations on how woman should look. they live over glamorised lifestyles. indulge in surgeries and do not portray realistic representations of woman. this make others feel in order to be successful or accepted in society they must comply to these lifestyle choices.

during greek civilisation they admired physical and fitness and how their bodies looked. natural cosmetics were made to enhance natural beauty. the greeks admired the gods as well as their emperors who were fit and followed a healthy lifestyle.

these stats show a steady increase of the popularity of people getting plastic surgery. this is all due to the idea of influences and pressures that society implement on people to look a certain way. this particularly focuses on woman as beauty standards apply to them more than males due to stereotyping and oversexualision.

during the 1950s was the rise of famous cosmetic brand such as Mac. this also influenced beauty standards and allowed people to have direct access to products that can help fulfil these desires. Mac during the 1950s also collaborated with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe who used her iconic red lipstick to boost sales for Mac's newly released red lipstick.

social media is a factor that heavily influences beauty standards especially in todays society. this wasn't so much as a problem in earlier years, but now the use of social media is creating not only unrealistic beauty standards but positively also a chance for people to challenge these standards and protest for beauty to be perceived for ambitiously and enhancing natural beauty.

religion is another factor that influences beauty standards. it consists of elderly generations teaching and pressuring younger generations to follows these traditional teachings otherwise it meant putting shame on their culture. Indian cultures teach and perceive beauty by being pale, thin, dark hair and small lips. however other cultures speak about being wealthy and showing this through being plump and tan.

Albert Bandura's social learning theory can be applied when discussing the idea of peoples behaviour and response to beauty standards and expectations. he explains that people imitate and copy behaviours of people when they are praised or admired ignorer to receive the same treatment.

when applying this theory to beauty standards across history we see the same pattern. someone looking and acting a certain way. the individual getting attention and praised whether that be on social media, royal family or actress etc. people craving this attention and acceptance therefore reinforcing this certain appearance as the ideal way to look in order to be happy and be socially accepted. failure to adhere to these standards lead to unhappiness and being an outcast within society.

Micheal Schoeller is a photographer that uses celebrities and his distinctive techniques to strip them away of their wealth and success and portray them as basic human beings along side images of homeless people and average people. he focuses on the sense of equality, realism and honesty. this ties in well to the idea of beauty standards as he dismisses the wealth and individuality of the celebrities and represents them in a way that categorises them as one.

this photo I came across when I was looking for inspiration for my drawings on my designed element. it features a caricature of Kylie Jenner who I will be drawing. I find this amusing as it almost mocks someone who is highly admired for their looks and influence lots of young people. I find it interesting how someone who is so looked up to and influential can be put into this kind of light and in a way mocked for something she is idolised for
