In this world where almost everybody is seeking perfection : a perfect body, a perfect nose, a perfect face, a perfect life… we are saved by the law of subjectivity. Yes, even today, some people still have the courage to think that there is no one single true beauty definition and that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Well that was BEFORE some very smart scientific dudes decided to create a mathematical standard of beauty to help us calculate how close – or far – we are from having the absolute perfect nose. Welcome in the 21st century.

I stumbled across this on Pinterest and just had to come here and give you a big e-hug! If our noses are healthy and serving their functional purposes, then what’s wrong with them? The only universal beauty is a kind soul.
you said it tall n curly your my role model I just hate it when people say white people are the best not that I don’t like white people its just that I don’t like it when they act like there so perfect
Hey Jasmin 🙂
Although the study was conducted on a very reduced and particular group of people (“The traditional focus-group participants were undergraduate students at the University of California, Irvine”) you need to not forget that most white women also don’t have a nose that corresponds to that ridiculous “ideal nasal tip rotation and projection”. This study was denigrating the beauty of most women around the world, white included!
this post speaks to me in many ways. being someone is of two different cultures, people always treated me like i was different, the main insult being…my nose. i spent so many years of my life thinking i needed a nose job, and avoiding pining my hair back because i didn’t want people to notice the size of my nose, after receiving comment after comment. i now find those comments ignorant because now that i look in the mirror objectively, i don’t feel like my nose is too big for my face, and even if it was it’s my nose! i don’t feel that i need a cute button nose to be beautiful. i don’t need to look like the majority to be beautiful. i am beautiful because i look like me, and no one else has this face, and that’s something everyone should feel proud of no matter what culture and or race they are. for anyone who has struggled with this, you pin your hair out your face if you want to and hold your head up high, because i promise you i know from experience, it feels great!
