"BEYOND THE BRUSH - understanding the true beauty".

 The modern definition of beauty has been perverted into an obsession with makeup application and surgically modifying facial characteristics. The obsession with physical perfection, fostered by a business that feeds off our fears, dominates how we view beauty in the modern world. We now associate beauty with having the ideal figure, perfectly moulded features, and beautiful skin—all things that may be attained with cosmetics, filters, and medical operations. This shallow definition diminishes beauty to something that is just outwardly visible, obscuring the real and profound attributes like inner strength, kindness, and empathy that are the true essence of beauty. It's time to reject this limited perspective and find the true nature of beauty, which cannot be manufactured or purchased.

Over the years, there has been a significant movement in the definition of beauty. In the past, beauty was frequently connected to inherent elegance, moral qualities, and societal norms that valued distinctiveness and distinctive characteristics. Individuals were drawn to beauty that came from the inside out and was shown in a person's disposition, friendliness, and character. But as contemporary technology has advanced and the media's power has grown, this view has steadily changed. An idealized notion of beauty that prioritizes perfect skin, symmetrical features, and a well-defined physique has been brought about by the advent of social media, high-quality media, and photo-editing software. This change has subtly affected society, making many people associate perfection attained through artificial means with beauty.

Because cosmetic surgery and additions were expensive and unavailable to the general public, the wealthy were first the main users of these services. Nonetheless, cosmetic improvements are now more widely available and reasonably priced because to developments in medical technology and the commercialization of beauty services. A variety of cosmetic operations that were formerly only available to the wealthy have now become commonplace practices. The belief that beauty can and should be artificially reached has been further solidified by the democratization of cosmetic treatments, leading us further away from recognizing the distinctive and natural features of individual beauty.

True beauty is more than fleeting and surface-level. It is an attribute that comes from the inside out and shows how strong one's empathy is, how kind and compassionate one is, and how deep their character is. The way a person treats other people, their sincere smiles, and the light that emanates from their eyes when they are happy or sympathetic are all signs of true beauty. It is characterized by the goodness and love that come from the heart, not by the newest styles in makeup and clothes, or by immaculate skin or features.

In the end, beauty is subjective, and its real essence can only be discovered in the heart—not in makeup or transient improvements. Cosmetics can change someone's look and give them a transient image, but they cannot define true beauty. Kindness, empathy, and integrity emanate from a good heart, and this beauty lasts far longer than any physical change. Even while people with nice looks may not necessarily have good hearts, people with good hearts are always seen as lovely. A person's true brilliance lies in their inner beauty, which remains unaffected by time or fashion. Let us honor and treasure the authentic, long-lasting beauty that emanates from within.
