#Beyoncé asked Who Run The World? Girls
But let’s ask ourselves
“Who RUNS the Girls? ”
Everyone has an ideal beauty they’re trying to achieve, and that’s true for women across the globe. From the use of bird feces in a facial to inserting metal rods in their legs to be taller, women all over the world are willing to do some pretty crazy (and intense) things to feel better about their appearance.
But the question is: What is the definition of Beauty?
The answer is that beauty standards vary from one country to another, it even varies in the same country year after year!

But they all have some things in common—they are beautiful, fit, and have perfect features.
