The Ugly Truth About Beauty Analysis

The Ugly Truth about Beauty I notice now that young ladies take hours to put on make up to wear just for a few hours. For example, my friend Gabby is always wearing make up every day to make her feel good about her appearance. Sometimes we have to pick her up before our friends and I have to head to the movies, we always have to wait outside for her so she can finish putting on her makeup which most of the time we end up being late for the movie. She wears eye liner, eye shadow, foundation, and mascara and even though she wears all this makeup she feels not good enough. In the “Ugly Truth about Beauty”, Dave Barry claims women have insecurities about the way they look and the mindset of being “not good enough” because of “psychological and societal reasons” such as Barbie, the “multibillion-dollar beauty industry” and supermodels. Although men have different perspective about this. Most men think that they look good enough and worry about other things that are more important to them. According to Dave Berry, “Most men, I believe, think of themselves as average-looking.” Dave Barry states that the average man “stops thinking about his appearance and devotes his mind to more critical issues, such as the Super Bowl”. This is true because out of all honesty, men don't really care that much

With the help of Cindy Crawford and the makeup tips she gave to the studio audience, all the women knew how stressful it was to apply the makeup and that no matter how carefully they applied it, “they would never look remotely like Cindy Crawford”. They feel “not good enough.” Women are influenced to look as beautiful as possible because of the psychological and social reason to look like a supermodel such as Cindy
