Everyone has moments of insecurity with their physical appearance. Whether you were disproportionately lengthy as a tweenager, a natural blond who’s always wanted raven-black hair, or your nose never grew into your freckles. Many of us have experienced the helplessness of aesthetic dissatisfaction. Until recently, the beauty world has been gatekept and exclusionary, pointing out people’s biggest insecurities in an attempt to sell more beautification products.

But we’re so over that. 

As if humanity woke up one morning and realized that we’re all perpetually trapped in our own skin, things are taking a turn for the better. This universal experience of aesthetic discomfort has fostered a more accepting society, shaping new beauty standards around personal acceptance. Learning to love our natural features or unabashedly taking control of our appearance, society is reshaping what it means to be «beautiful» one unedited selfie at a time.
