Beauty Standards In Ukraine

You might think that in Ukraine, blue eyes and blonde hair are preferred but actually, dark hair and really defined cheekbones are the beauty ideal. Slim and pale women are seen as beautiful, though chubby women were valued as the ideal up until the 1900s. A plastic or fake look is not valued in Ukraine. They prefer a more natural look. They also have no expectations of women looking like models.

Just like Chile, Peru values their indigenous people’s beauty but it is not their ideal. What is admired is the western vision of beauty. They also associate it with wealth. A western look of skinny and tall women with blue eyes and blonde hair is the beauty ideal in the South American country. Peru has different origins and a multitude of cultures. They dread the idea of their skin darkening. Many who work outdoors actually cover up in order to avoid melanin production and prevent their skin from darkening.
