The very concept of attractiveness and its elements- generic and personal have long been subjective in nature. Attractiveness can largely be attributed as a psychological phenomenon, varying from person to person, on their perceptions, on their opinions, and of course, the way they see things. It is often quoted that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder; that every individual is beautiful irrespective of their physical semblance. Making up and dolling up plays not as much a role in associating beauty to perceived physical attractiveness. But does it really?
The society, that earlier used to base the nuances of attractiveness on virtues of inner goodness and godliness, has nonchalantly evolved into a consumer oriented one. ‘What’s in a face’ is no longer answered with a ‘nothing’, but with a very demeaning ‘everything’. Facial or physical sublimity in general, depends a lot on the external manifestation of one’s physical features- eyes, face complexion, hair etc. Out of everything, face is what conquers the idea of a crowning beauty, and singlehandedly takes away all the brownie points.
If a face is attractive, so is the person in entirety. Symmetry of face and its features are what lend beauty to it. A symmetrical face with a complexion that only complements the features is usually considered to be an epitome of beauty. The juxtaposition of beauty with facial attractiveness is outrageous, and so is the general attitude that crawls in parallel with one’s physical allure which can either be positive or downright negative. Normally termed as Attractiveness Halo, the idea makes it for a very chauvinistic and biased approach.
No wonder that the youth today is exceedingly attracted towards trying their hands at possibly everything that could turn the wheels of the attractiveness halo in their direction. Beauty Products like fairness creams, Hair products, skin whitening creams, scrubs, sunblock are a rage in the market- a lucrative business. These products can’t be deemed as outright misleading for they do shower positive results, yet that they only contribute to the much avoided attractiveness halo is slightly unsettling.
