Huge thanks to the women who came to talk to us about beauty culture and how it plays out in their lives: Mona, Emma, Nina, Rihma, and Arlinda.
What words would you most like people to use when they describe you? We’d love to hear in the comments.

where did these numbers come from?! My friends and I , even every woman I know do not do any plastic surgery or think of or even do fillers or botox…just sugaring the body and do our eyebrows and we are done.
We can be less judgemental and harsh about beauty but I don't think many problems around it will ever go away. It's a fundamental feature of us that we are inclined to more beautiful people, men more so than women, it's just evolution. And it's not anybody's fault per se. But in time we will learn, hopefully, to be more kind to one another no matter how we look. I feel very weird to write such hippie-sounding stuff on a Youtube comment.
I kinda feel like the opposite. I love makeup and spending time with myself. I love to do my SkinCare and my hair, I love having my nails done and my eyelashes, of course I have a lot of other things to do, but I really enjoy spending time with myself. And that's something that bothers a lot of people, especially my friends. "Why do you care so much? You're being to selfish and superficial" It's like there's a culture of self-hate, and If I don't belong in this culture, then I'm a selfish and superficial person. Like seriously, I fricking love myself and treating myself, Can I live without it? YES, of course. So what is the matter with that? Am I superficial for caring about myself? I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this.
Edit: I obviously know that people have this pressure today to look stunning and use this things, and it's wrong, you should feel beautiful with or without makeup and stuffs. But MY case is different, and usually all the critics about how I spend time (and money obviously) are from my friends. They want me to look just like they. With no makeup and nails and anything. 🙁 Edit 2: sorry for the bad english, I'm learning
Once you start doing make up and skin care is when you start to notice your "imperfections" that you never notice before. And it would then make you look up for videos and buy more make up and skin care products. 🙁
OK I just realized I didn't wanted to be beautiful but also realized that I'm always concerned about that because I feel pressured to be beautiful and if I'm not people are gonna judjing me
The beauty industry makes me feel like a complete alien. I'm a young woman, theoretically one of the target demographics for that type of content, but I can barely be arsed to occasionally put on mascara. It's not because I'm uber confident (oh, no, I'm an anxiety-ridden mess), its just that my physical appearance is fundamentally not that important, compared to say, being clever or funny or skilled. I just can't understand why other people, and especially women, spend so much time, money and effort on beauty? Okay 'confidence', but why does your physical attractiveness or lack thereof matter so much? Especially, as most of the time, makeup doesn't make people look 'better' just…made up.
Great video! I am extremely affected by today's beauty "standards" and it's gotten worse over the past few years, but I still try not to use a lot of makeup. I have eyelash extensions, so I only use concealer and a brow pencil on a daily basis, literally takes me about 5 minutes. I am getting a rhinoplasty in a few months though after a lot of thought and analyzing whether I should do it. The part about feeling bad when you see good comments about other people is very true, but it's even more true when you see your partner commenting another person's (woman's) photo (in a way he's never commented on any of your photos).

So so good! I wanted to watch something like this long ago when I felt bad I don't know all types of brushes, concealers etc. Thank you!
Beauty filters hurt me
What they said about how women are described in literature was so true that it kind of frightened me
No se me habían cargado las imágenes y solo había leído el nombre.
Estaba flipando con que Vox subiera un vídeo sobre la belleza 😂😂😂😂
Worth watching!

Weird thought: Sons of Anarchy having Walter Goggins as a love interest for one of the baddest badasses, was way ahead of its time
Joss Fong so charming even without makeup
