Something that delivers quality without making people feel left out,” I explained. “I want every woman, every person, to be able to wear something that feels real, that feels like them, without having to choose between dignity and cost. No one should feel invisible because they cannot afford to shine.” I let my voice soften at the end. Not for pity. For honesty. Because I knew what it felt like to stand in a room and believe you did not belong. Because I had been that woman once, and I would not

Their motto was, “making beauty accessible for every woman.” When they first launched their product, the motto caused a lot of uproar amongst women, particularly, women of color. They felt like it was a subtle shade to them. As though they needed to pay to access beauty as if beauty was not inherent in them. “We would not be buying products that make us Asian women look less beautiful or appealing. We know that we are minorities in the united states but that does not make us any less beautiful.” These women wrote on various campaign boards all around the globe.

I couldn't help that I fell asleep but man I needed that. "Go and get ready princess." She says and I nod. Going upstairs and into my bedroom. I wash my face in the adjoined bathroom. Walking into my closet I take out knitted bodycon dress to wear and brush out my hair. I embellish my face with some makeup and I'm satisficed at how presentable I look. Since we were going to Mayfair I wore some heels, they were low but still classy enough, just because it was my dad's restaurant didn't mean I could slack. I take my phone off charge and put it in my clutch. Going downstairs I sit in the lounge and wait for mum. Eventually she walks in wearing a figure hugging black dress with a brown trench an

While she doesn't get Botox or any of that stuff done at a beauty clinic, she regularly treats herself both at home and at beauty salons. So, the saying that beauty is expensive is indeed a fact. But expensive in what way? Claire has never been willing to spend a lot of money just for beauty treatments. With products she can get at the supermarket or local market, Claire can enhance her appearance. And don't ask what she does it for or who she does it for, because she takes care of her beauty as an investment in herself. She loves herself, which is why she takes care of herself as best as she can. If others enjoy looking at her, that's just an added bonus for Claire. But she never aims to pl

Every comment was a dagger wrapped in subtle cruelty, and it was heartbreaking that the discrimination I faced came from my own kin. “You’ll never find a mate if you don’t take after your mother’s beauty,” she’d murmur, the knife flashing in the soft kitchen light as she peeled oranges. Or, “Ugh, you look like too much of an Aragore.” As if the color of my skin could determine my worth, my beauty, my future. I could not control my DNA. She was pale, rigid, her beauty overrated in my eyes, her bitterness and cruelty far more prominent.

Georgina said while staring at her. I scoffed in disbelief after what she said. "I don't see any exceptional beauty in her. She's beautiful because she has makeup, true beauty lies when there's no makeup on," I replied. While talking about her, we still could see some of the popular people approaching her. They were getting along easily even though it was her first time being here. What's with that woman that she has a connection with almost all the people in this place? I couldn't stop my curiosity at her.

Then she turned to me with a weird look on her face. "But I doubt my beauty routine would do you any good, Ava. You see, it's very expensive and should only be used by people who are actually worthy. It would be quite a shame to waste such an expensive injection for nothing, don't you think?" She asked me that with a smug expression. I smiled, pretending it was normal and okay to be insulted by this whore. "You're absolutely right, Sharon. It'll be such a waste to spend so much on me. I better leave the beauty products to beautiful people."

It's no use running away from reality, we may even have gained more visibility in soap operas and magazines, but it's not fat women that someone who reads,natural beauty. No, they see tall, skinny women in their minds, full of proportionate curves and zero cellulite. Some may even insist that the standard of beauty is changing, but just turn on the television to see that the reality is still different, nobody sees any girls weighing more than seventy kilos being the protagonist. I can't even imagine showing up here tomorrow to judge any woman's appearance, first because that would be very hypocritical of me, judging someone's body when I don't even accept mine, no, it definitely won't happen

However, today, Ciara didn't see any single person at all. However, Ciara doesn't pay much attention, she just needs to do her job correctly. Just as Ciara had that thought, the store received its first customer for the evening. The customer was a tall, slender girl with fair skin as white as boiled egg whites. At first glance, one would know that she belonged to the non-human race. Normally, Ciara does not like to interact with such customers. Even though she was educated that these two races were friends, the ideology of the fundamental differences between them had been deeply ingrained in her subconscious since birth, and it was hard to get rid of this prejudice entirely.

I was in no way as beautiful as she was, and I'm not saying this because I doubt my beauty. ‘Nonsense,’ Zinnia said dismissively, ‘you are still recovering from poverty and malnutrition. You also don't have makeup on your face, so don't compare yourself to her. You are better.’ I looked away from the woman, averting my eyes to the alpha's hand on mine. It didn't matter if she was more beautiful, she would never stand in the way of my survival.
