normally defined beauty

While the traditional saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" rings true, there are some aspects of beauty that are culturally consistent. In modern societies, people are traditionally attracted to 'beautiful' people. But beauty has changed over time to incorporate make up, plastic surgery, and high fashion. While there is nothing wrong with this, I still find natural beauty to be the purest. Women, such as Jacqueline Kennedy who only enhance their natural beauty and not change it, are the most beautiful in my opinion. This also rings true to architecture and design. I still find historic homes and traditional style to be the most beautiful designs. Items that stick to their traditional form contain the purest beauty in my opinion. But society still has their own view. Modern twists on traditional elements are considered beautiful. But it is when the element has been so morphed that it no longer has a beautiful quality to it. Too much plastic surgery or modern changes are no longer purely beautiful.photo link
