True beauty comes from being happy with yourself. However, there is a certain concept of “natural beauty” everywhere. Different countries also have their own beauty standards. The CGS team found an article about Birdie Beauty that really piqued our interest. The article describes what “natural” beauty looks like in the world.

“Whether we realize it or not, the beauty standards set by the country we live in have a huge impact on the taste of trends. While strobing and shag haircuts
are great here in the US, we often forget that the same style could don’t be so popular in Brazil or South Korea.
Here’s a fascinating example: A British group Superdrug Online Doctors experiment last year saw female graphic designers in 18 different countries Photoshop the same image of a woman in an “ideal” body type.
