Many people in Europe are still very skinny, although they don't go to the gym many Europeans walk or cycle a lot of the time. The fat shaming in Europe is x10 worse than it is in America lmao
And this is so true, I have never even consider going to the gym, and I wear make up only on spécial occasions, I guess I'm more frenchy than I though lol
The ones who are pale are tanning themselves and the ones who are already tan want themselves to be fair and pale. The whole world thinks the grass is greener on the other side.
Flora fauna: What Is your point exectlly? Someone said they ar tanning to look black? Or do u think blacks wanna be white? Everyone wants to look caramel it seems. They wouldn't change their complexion so drastically even with the higest effort.
why that full wedding makeup and ol that on INDIAN one. you could have shown them casual as everybody else. No girl walk on with these on streets.. LOL
A lot of you have been leaving comments that there is no Slavic woman in the video. We had a Russian model lined up but she cancelled last minute and we didn't find a replacement. I was quite upset since I myself am Russian and think beauty standards in Russia are very high.. but what are you going to do?:)
You do look better than the rest of the UK tho. But then it comes the moment when you look at a guy walk towards him... Open your mouth and say: Aye! Uwannagotoapub??? Then the spell is broken😂
To me accentuating your natural and ethnic looks is beautiful. Every ethnicity and every person has their own beauty and shouldn't try to look like somebody else. I think every ethnicity and every human is beautiful!
In all the Asian countries, there is a culture of bring lighter skinned as the aristocracy in those nations considered pearl or milky skin to be attractive. Having a tan is considered lower , working class , a labourer in ancient times. Sadly now it is the Western look via cosmetic surgery the current obsession in China and South Korea. "K-Pop" music, females with Western eyes noses and lighter skin. Irony is the the males are becoming androgynous like anime?
True about India.It is pretty sad that dark girls are often not considered beautiful,but you forgot to mention eyes,cause well rounded and shapely eyes is the second gradient of beauty.
If they aren't considered beautiful then how most of them get married?. Majority of marriages in India are arranged. So if nobody find them beautiful then they should be still single.
@@alokbaluni8760 - arranged marriage doesn't need the guy to find the girl attractive, it's "arranged" for a reason - most guys will go with "less attractive girl" than no one at all (not that they're handsome to start with)
I felt a little bad because the only thing that was highlighted about Indian beauty standards was our obsession with pale complexion. Not that it's not true but it isn't the only that Indians feel is beautiful.
Unfortunately the video was very short so we focused on some controversial points for all countries. Stay tuned for next week for our new video on Indian male trends!
+Dating Beyond Borders you did the right thing, being an Indian I can assure you that Indians are obsessed with paler complexion. Every beauty product, Bollywood, celebs endorses paleness and fairness as the ultimate beauty goal. Darker people are bullied because of their color. Everyone's first preference is a person of paler complexion over the darker one. It's the harsh reality, we just don't want to acknowledge it. So, thank-you for showing everyone the mirror.
+jakewalle No one said she was. They said that some women went to the extreme of taking these pills. I think it's ridiculous to take pills to make yourself bigger and "prettier", but so is taking pills to make yourself skinnier and "prettier". Stop strawmanning.
About brazil, 50% african population or 50% non-white? 47% are white, 43% pardo, 7% black, etc. So white is the majority... And those models are usually from South region where 90% are white.
Kevin K ????? Not black or african, but 43% mixed race. Do you even live in Brazil? I have NEVER seen as many black people here as you claim. Actually black people are usually foreigners, because the majority is white, then pardo (mixed race), then black (which is actually brown). Unless you're talking about northeast region. Because there the majority really is black and mixed, but I'm talking about the whole country.
Kevin K And also biggest Italian population outside of Italy, and biggest Japanese population outside of Japan. But it doesn't mean 50% are Italian nor Japanese. Do you really wanna know more about Brazil than a Brazilian? Haha! Go for it.
The United States of America has recently shown a move towards accepting all body types, shapes, skintones, and facial structures, which I think is awesome.
Not quite. My dark black complexion still isn't accepted in mainstream. My 4c hair type is NEVER represented. Yes, the shift is there, but I recently read a research study and a few articles and blog posts of black women who feel ugly because most media arenas and the work place still hold the European beauty standard for women. It's hard for a woman like me to make It in corporate America or television unless I shape my beauty to what's commonly accepted. The US still has a very long way to go.
It's so interesting how beauty standards differ around the world, often desired characteristics being on opposite ends of the spectrum! Thanks for the insightful and informative video!
Well the French and British women looked "the same" and they did 2 different standards for them. Didn't you notice that this video was based on culture not skin color?
Irma Hodgson thats just nit picking they at least showed a jamcan woman thats close enough to us. i guesse. im sure it wouldnt be so diffrent. what are beauty standreds like in your country? im from somalia i really idk what ours is it verys from person to person.
it seems like the coloured countries want the white features and the white countries want the coloured features... sigh, why cant people appreciate and embrace their own natural beauty ☹️
No, but you're close enough ethnically. Just like you can lump white Canadians/Americans together, even though we have different ethnic backgrounds. Same goes for Mexican/Columbian/Costa Ricans... German/French/Belgians... all same differences.
If I decided to travel the world, would probably gave to change accordingly: starve in France, tan in the UK, have a big butt in Jamaica and untan in India, lol. I love the variety to ve honest. There should be a new trend where everybody tries to be as much themselves as they can. I mean healthy is beautiful. And inspiring.
50% of African population… It should've been African-descent but mostly are MIXED people. The problem is a lot of Black movements both in Brazil and the US do to ignorance about the facts put mixed people alongside real black (Afro-Brazilians) in the same group to increase the number of non-whites in Brazil. But mixed in Brazil can be white/black/native, black/native and white/native so don't necessarily need African descent and might relate to other races. Also, race in Brazil is more connected to phenotype instead of genealogy but in the end it's just something created as the concept of race is really a social construction.
im venezuelan, my family indeed asked me that if i wanted to upsize my boobs then i can get them for my 16 birthday... say waaat? fortunately im more of a fan of natural beauty, i even refuse to straighten my hair... something not too many people appreciate in this country (PS all those beauty queens have had something done)
im not really sure, i never really looked into it... but i dont think so, since many of the people that cannot afford a proper surgery go to back alley dr
digo la mayoria que van a los miss venezuela/universo... algo se han hecho, lo dijo osmel en un documental. Unas de las pocas miss universo modernas 100% naturales es alicia machado
I'm brazilian, and there was a misinformation in this video. The african population in Brazil is about 7%. You may have considered "Pardo" as African, but they are just a mix of any races. White+African; White+Asian; White+Native; African+Native+White, and so it goes, they are all "pardos". When someone consider that all pardos have a strong african look (or predominating heritage) is limiting the huge diversity of this ethnicity. Speaking for me and my brother, we have a major portuguese background, then comes african and native tied in second place, spanish in third, danish in forth and french in fifth. You can seek on google this people and see how broad can the ethnic pardo people be in Brazil: Taís Araujo; Debora Nascimento; Isis Valverde; Juliana Paes; Ildi Silva; Romário; Thiago Lacerda; Cauã Reymond; Caio Castro; Grazi Massafera; Adriana Lima (you probably know her); Marlon Teixeira; Gabriel Medina; Mariana Rios; Sabrina Sato; Neymar...
Carol Rodrigues Espero que você tenha entendido que eu me manifestei dizendo que quando se classifica pretos e pardos como sendo iguais está se restringindo a diversidade genética que um pardo muitas vezes possui. Mesmo que o IBGE adote este critério (que acho equivocado, na minha humilde opinião) a minha observação se faz pertinente. Creio que pardos tem que ser classificados pelo que são, mestiços, como em qualquer outra parte do mundo, nada mais, nada menos.
Габриела Генадиева Hey can you say something in English please,,, you are from Russia 🇷🇺 right and uno Russia is my favorite country and so beautiful country 😘🌹
I love how every other one seems believable and accurate but the Indian one is way too serotyped. Yes in india people think fair skin is better, but that's the same as the people in Britain who think tanned skin is better. Also, not every women in india wears a saari. It's actually more fashionable to wear jeans and a traditionally designed shirt or top to go with it and dangling ear rings with heels for shoes. That's the average look. The whole look presented here is nothing but stereotypical.
FYI Indian women wear that kind of dress with heavy jewelry only on special occasion or their marriage. They do not burst into song and dance all the time. Most girls between 18-35 wear salwar kameez or jeans-tshirt in the urban areas.
It is a great video but gotta say that It is sad that in a lot of counties cosmetic surgery seems like "the only way out", looking good is important, but not everything, and i don't know if it's just me but I noticed that girls are started to look more and more similar because people are following all these "trends" rather than be yourself. So I would like to see a video on how people from different counties(both men and women) perceives plastic surgeries.
I'm British and the last thing I would ever do is tan, I'm naturally quite pale, my dress sense is just completely different, I can't bring myself to wear tight blouses or tiny clothes I'm comfortable wearing blouses or a simple vest shirt, it's odd. Most British females are really bold I guess, most are loud, wear a lot of make-up, are quite precise on their clothes if it's above 18c and sunny every female wears crop tops and shorts, a lot of females in Britian are very jidgemental. This is just my opinion based upon where I live in England, I don't even go out due to my trust issues with men and females, they're not one to trust or mix with where I'm from.
+Aly Mrso You are clearly a white supremacist and a racist. Middle Eastern women are the most exotic and beautiful in this world. Even white women can't compare to them.
No. I mean shovel face makes Asian looks old and cliche. This video maker does not know aesthetical standard in eastern Asia very much. One face can not be beautiful for everyone but a beauty at least should be beautiful for most people.
tianci li I have already lived and taught in China. Changping...hour outside of Beijing. My boyfriend is also Chinese. There are many ethnic Chinese groups with Han being the majority. She looks typical to my eyes.
This is a great video, I would be interested to know if possible what are character traits desired in various countries. Such as outgoing, friendly, flirtatious, witty, intelligent, shy, etc. Thank you
iam very dissappointed.. u had a chance to break stereotypes here but u did the same old things... bollywood is not dominated by fair skin actresses.. there is an fair share of pale and dark skined actresses.. there is an whole pallette of nude colour in india.. and that dance and the music was sooo cringe worthy... and the girl representating india is not in accordance with indian beauty standard..
Please be honest to yourself and admit many if not all Indians prefer pale skin, look at all the Bollywood actors advertising it, the treatment of white Indians on darker ones and Africans living there....
+kamdem carole ill be honest ppl do prefer light skin ..but now only old ppl have that kind of thought.. and i was talking abt fair skin not dominating bollywood.. not skin preference of ppl.. now duskier actresses are the top ones..
+kamdem carole white skin preference over dark ones used to be a norm over hear.. still is.. i am not denying it.. ppl still lean towards the fair ones.. but one thing is sure positive .. things are changing.. the newer generation does not care abt colour.. so one thing is sure.. the future is better.. so when the future is going to look good then the least that could happen is stereotyping should stop..
sheetal jain i hope too because apart from that i see nothing else really wrong. As other nations you have your goods and bads. I wish you could also break some stereotypes and get to know Africans better we are not just the dark skin and some drug dealers and angry fellas. There are very good people too and don't doubt same about India. Thanks for the chat and have a good day
+sheetal jain in india ppl still prefer white girls and in bollywood there are only a couple of dark skinned actress... And talking about this generation..ppl haven't changed in fact dark girls are made fun of..I've experienced that myself..i'm indian dark too ..kindly not mislead other ppl!
To me beauty stadard is natural - No tan, no skin withening, no eating disorders, no plastic surgeries - and the rest depends on how it suits you, how you own it.. Beauty is subjective. The lesson here is that every nation wants to change their flaws, but flaws can be beautiful, perfection itself stops being that. Just love yourselves people, seriously.
OMG. The china one applies to sooooo many countries in East and South East Asia. It's because of the actress in Korean Dramas have double eyelid, oval face, fair skin and Kdramas are so fucking popular. Now everyone wants to be like that.
Mari Pedrini If you want to identify yourself as a black women or relate more to that part of your heritage there is nothing wrong with that. But its wrong to say that African dna and culture is more important than European, or Native and therefore should be acknowledged more.
1:47: I'm wondering why this fact was mentioned... There are 66 millions of people in France, so it represents 0.8%... Not sure that we can say that French people are underweight based on that.
I'm British and I don't wear fake tan or eye lashes etc. I bearly wear any make up and most of the week I go without make up. I am happy in my own skin acne and all
Great video, I love seeing how things are viewed differently in different cultures. In my country Somalia, women with a lot of hair on their head, eye brows and arms (yes arms :p) are found beautiful, although i think this preference may fade soon. I found it interesting when I first heard in many other countries women with no body hair were preferred. Culture can be very interesting.
I'm French and Algerian from both parents and yes in France we don't work out a lot its just that we can walk or take our bike easily for fun to go to work... for make up it's true too the majority of men like nudeIn Algeria. They love chubby girls with light skin
That's probably part of the reason why I feel I could have been French. I don't like going to the gym. I like to walk and ride a bike. I also prefer to look natural. Thanks for the insight.
The Persian one is so true lol... every time we visit family over there I see girls with bandages on their nose everywhereeee. They even wear them past when they can take them off. And everyone always compliments my nose by telling me, "it looks like you've had a nose job!" lol. They really do got a nose obsession.
In the UK I think the beauty standards vary widely but the typical type of beauty standards that stick out are the "Geordie Shore" or "The Only Way is Essex" examples. But because a lot of foreigners have come to the UK now I think it's a mixed bag
All womans in this video reminds a Brazilian, because the Brazil is a extremely miscigenated country!! There are many italian, german, nigerian, lebanese, dutch immigrants... For example, Brazil is the Contry with the largest japonese colony in the world, there are more japonese in Brazil than in China or Korea that are near od Japan.
The Indian one was so horrible. Like who wears those kind of outfits? Even the most stereotypical women don't wear something like that. Or use those kind of accessories and make up. It looked really fake.
Why is the Indian model dressed for a wedding? I don't think the model reflects the Indian beauty standard because it's not just about light skin. Facial features and grace count too. The Brazilian girl is closer to the Indian ideal with her soft feminine features, light brown skin, and long silky hair.
Doesn't the Brazilian model look like a more tanner more beautiful and thinner version of Bollywood actress Zarine Khan??? She was beautiful.😍 I can imagine Indian men really liking her.
bembela87 Wrong, buzzfeed actually has a video called "Iranian Beauty Through the Decades" or something like that and it features an Iranian woman. The girl who is modeling the Iranian style in this video is Indian so you are also misinformed there. It's not that they (women of those particular countries) can't participate in videos like this (westernized) because they do, it's the fact that Buzzfeed was lazy or didn't want to pay an Iranian to represent Iranians in this video and this happens all the time in mainstream media. Misrepresenting or underrepresenting can be very harmful and Buzzfeed of all media outlets should know that. So again, why is an Indian girl representing Iranian culture?
I don't think that Scandinavian women strives towards having defined muscles. Of course I don't know any statistics, but I don't think I know any woman here in Sweden that thinks the muscular look is the ultimate one. I think we are more for the "lagom" look. Fit and lean, without too much muscle definition and moderate curves (no Kardashian style here) and make up that enhances your features but still looks natural.
Yall need to come to South Africa!!!My God I just love the range of beauty that comes out of South Africa. The women are soooo different from each other, yet they are all so beautiful :) On your list, I got to go with the Jamaican Girl, shes just fit, glowing, and she moves. The French girl is cute. If it wasnt for the nose job, be Iranian would come 2nd place. I do prefer women with a rounder lower body, but it has to be natural... Boob, butt, nose, whatever...I hate all jobs...cliche but ultimately I love a woman who is already in love with her own beauty, it comes through in how she carries herself :)
Belle374 maybe it's just me, but when I was a lot younger British women were known for their beautiful "English Rose" skin, devoid of a tan, and very minimal makeup, if any. Seems like that has changed
that's still a stereotype, i've found low amounts of makeup and cute is is very common at least up north where i am from both my girlfriends were tomboyish cute style, but yea the chavs have set a standard for high amounts of the disgusting fake tan.
actually that is a good thing.INdain women should be prud of their own traiditonal clothese because they are far mroe beautiful than other casual clothes!!Shame on you for crticising such a nice thing
Sounds very similar to the Swedish beauty standards; blonde and blue eyed, toned, tan, tall, and preferably large boobs. I wish that brown hair, fair skin and a shapely booty would become the ideal instead cause I look nothing like the ideal right now haha xD
I agree that fairness is considered to be a criterion of beauty in India, but I disagree that Bollywood reinforces that image. The top-earning leading ladies of the 2000s and 2010s include considerably dark-skinned actresses like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Rani Mukherjee. They may not be extremely dark, but definitely represent a more average skin tone.
Hi! I'm Arab and beauty standards for middle eastern women are quite simple: we like wide eyes with heavy eyeliners, a curvy body is very wanted as well! we also prefer silky, super long, thick hair!
It's too bad that being "beautiful" in most countries means surgically altering yourself.
+JustJaida It's a sad reality.. yes.
+JustJaida yes ,unfortunately !
its sad indeed
There is more and more pressure about the topic of beauty with every decade that pasts ... I was almost crying watching this video :(
And fair skin :(
"going to the gym is not part of the lifestyle"
brb moving to france
sæm
Many people in Europe are still very skinny, although they don't go to the gym many Europeans walk or cycle a lot of the time. The fat shaming in Europe is x10 worse than it is in America lmao
And this is so true, I have never even consider going to the gym, and I wear make up only on spécial occasions, I guess I'm more frenchy than I though lol
Usually the gym clubs get lots of customers 1 month before summer that's how lazy some people are lmao
"Fat shaming". NO, people just aren't lazy.
The ones who are pale are tanning themselves and the ones who are already tan want themselves to be fair and pale.
The whole world thinks the grass is greener on the other side.
BTS!!!
oh stop no one is tanning to look black, they are tanning to look caramel.
No most people want to have olive or peach complexion
More like there's a midpoint and you have an opposite reaction to get there than the people on the other side, but have the same goal
Flora fauna: What Is your point exectlly? Someone said they ar tanning to look black? Or do u think blacks wanna be white? Everyone wants to look caramel it seems. They wouldn't change their complexion so drastically even with the higest effort.
i'm not Indian but i'm pretty sure this isn't how they dance.. i mean this isn't how anybody dances either
B as an Indian.. I greatly agree with you

Happy true
Happy Ikr! And we had celebs like Kajol n now Deepika n Priyanka n Vidya who are not "fair " in the industry n tbh they are the best !
hahaha right! thought the same

I was quite upset since I myself am Russian and think beauty standards in Russia are very high.. but what are you going to do?:)

No representations of north Africa nor the south ? :(

They are dressing up as Traditional Indians clothes
Angel Ayoosha The only problem is I believe it's not represented correctly.
MissMiserize
Yes, the dancing seems kind of awkward for some of you out there
I know! i thought she was a bit too much aha
Yeah it was a tad too stereotypical 😒
I'm Indian and honestly i've never seen any indian women dressed like that! Regardless love your videos!
only the retarded people with no fashion sense I totally agree
Or maybe people performing an elaborate traditional dance.
K Slash they're maybe talking about our traditional weddings but in public we wear normal western or fusion clothing it's ok though
But sadly it's true that Indians are racist who love fair skinned people and degrade thos with a dark complexion. such a shame!!
You can't associate a whole country if a few of them are racists. People have their preferences we can't change that.
To me accentuating your natural and ethnic looks is beautiful. Every ethnicity and every person has their own beauty and shouldn't try to look like somebody else. I think every ethnicity and every human is beautiful!

Being natural is beautiful.
First thing I thought about Jamaican woman: "wow, these are some strong arms".
every single woman is gorgeous in this video
Though I'm an Indian I vote for the Jamaican girl because nothing is more beautiful than healthy woman.
+subhabrata pramanick so healthy means necessarily heavier? Also she bleaches
She fatting her thighs like chicken

@DarthVader Exactly, South East Asians have obsession towards light skin, also, Africans do bleaching to lighten their skin.
@@umasasidharan562 True, and Chines go outside with umbrella, scarf and hat to keep their skin pale.

Okay cool but you missed like two whole continents I'm offended
We have a new series focusing on beauty trends that will feature as many countries as we can. Especially the ones we missed
Like Bulgaria.
Actually 3 continents
yes please i never see spain in those videos
you dont know anything, stupid fucker
I find the french girl beautiful! The french girl looked very natural and her hair was so pretty.
Beauty for me is being yourself and having a good heart.
That's beautiful. True beauty comes from within and then it shines outwardly.
Beauty for me is being confident and embrace your natural look.
I m from India and yes pale skin is considered superior here
I loved Venezuela and France

Kevin K Black and african is not the same as mixed race and ameridian, just so you know.
Yes, Brazil has the most Africans of any country besides Africa. US has about 40 million, so Brazil must have more than 40.
Kevin K And also biggest Italian population outside of Italy, and biggest Japanese population outside of Japan. But it doesn't mean 50% are Italian nor Japanese. Do you really wanna know more about Brazil than a Brazilian? Haha! Go for it.
The United States of America has recently shown a move towards accepting all body types, shapes, skintones, and facial structures, which I think is awesome.
Ummmmm idk where you live but not many people agree with that movement
I actually agree with this.There's not really a standard, it's whatever you're attracted to.
***** not everybody likes big butts lol but it is what we see in the media
That's really good. attractive people do come in many different colour and racial features.
Not quite. My dark black complexion still isn't accepted in mainstream. My 4c hair type is NEVER represented. Yes, the shift is there, but I recently read a research study and a few articles and blog posts of black women who feel ugly because most media arenas and the work place still hold the European beauty standard for women. It's hard for a woman like me to make It in corporate America or television unless I shape my beauty to what's commonly accepted. The US still has a very long way to go.
OMG the Brazilian girl is so beautiful she stands out to me
Hey this is the first beauty standard video that's finally accurate...
Why thank you!
France all the way 🇫🇷 I used to live there , the women were very natural and confident . It was so refreshing
I loved Brazil France and Venezuela u missed a lot of countries
We are doing a separate series on this
Naturally.... Do u know how many countries ar there? Good they at least showed some of the biggest...
Brazilian woman was best looking out of those
I think the amount of likes is solid proof of this too!
It's so interesting how beauty standards differ around the world, often desired characteristics being on opposite ends of the spectrum! Thanks for the insightful and informative video!
+Maryam You are very welcome Maryam. Thank you for such a great, personal comment!
No worries, keep up the awesome work!
u didnt do any african countries?! im from africa :) we have beauty standards too!
We are starting a new series focusing on modern beauty trends and Africa will come soon!
france too, but he didnt mean it like that
yes, staying alive
Well the French and British women looked "the same" and they did 2 different standards for them. Didn't you notice that this video was based on culture not skin color?
Irma Hodgson thats just nit picking they at least showed a jamcan woman thats close enough to us. i guesse. im sure it wouldnt be so diffrent. what are beauty standreds like in your country? im from somalia i really idk what ours is it verys from person to person.
it seems like the coloured countries want the white features and the white countries want the coloured features... sigh, why cant people appreciate and embrace their own natural beauty ☹️
No arabic countries ! No, Iran is not Arab, they're Persan.
yes we are not arab.
I didn't see anybody here who said you are arabs! but anyway Iran is not only persian, azari turkmen lor kurdish baluchi gilani and ARABS!
Well there's no Melayu as well and i'm okay with that
a
No, but you're close enough ethnically. Just like you can lump white Canadians/Americans together, even though we have different ethnic backgrounds. Same goes for Mexican/Columbian/Costa Ricans... German/French/Belgians... all same differences.
If I decided to travel the world, would probably gave to change accordingly: starve in France, tan in the UK, have a big butt in Jamaica and untan in India, lol.
I love the variety to ve honest. There should be a new trend where everybody tries to be as much themselves as they can. I mean healthy is beautiful. And inspiring.
This must have been the first time I saw real information on a video about beauty standarts around the world
+aniretakDB007 Thank you for such a great comment!
50% of African population… It should've been African-descent but mostly are MIXED people. The problem is a lot of Black movements both in Brazil and the US do to ignorance about the facts put mixed people alongside real black (Afro-Brazilians) in the same group to increase the number of non-whites in Brazil. But mixed in Brazil can be white/black/native, black/native and white/native so don't necessarily need African descent and might relate to other races.
Also, race in Brazil is more connected to phenotype instead of genealogy but in the end it's just something created as the concept of race is really a social construction.
True. In the video, they lumped blacks and pardos as one single group, even though a lot of these pardos are mestizos (amerindian ancestry).
EXACTLY! I'M FUCKING TIRED OF STEREOTYPES.
acidginger Brazil is a caboclo country aka mestizo majority
acidginger 75% of the pardo population is caboclo
im venezuelan, my family indeed asked me that if i wanted to upsize my boobs then i can get them for my 16 birthday... say waaat? fortunately im more of a fan of natural beauty, i even refuse to straighten my hair... something not too many people appreciate in this country (PS all those beauty queens have had something done)

Mckenna Bond let’s switch places
I'm brazilian, and there was a misinformation in this video. The african population in Brazil is about 7%. You may have considered "Pardo" as African, but they are just a mix of any races. White+African; White+Asian; White+Native; African+Native+White, and so it goes, they are all "pardos". When someone consider that all pardos have a strong african look (or predominating heritage) is limiting the huge diversity of this ethnicity. Speaking for me and my brother, we have a major portuguese background, then comes african and native tied in second place, spanish in third, danish in forth and french in fifth.
You can seek on google this people and see how broad can the ethnic pardo people be in Brazil: Taís Araujo; Debora Nascimento; Isis Valverde; Juliana Paes; Ildi Silva; Romário; Thiago Lacerda; Cauã Reymond; Caio Castro; Grazi Massafera; Adriana Lima (you probably know her); Marlon Teixeira; Gabriel Medina; Mariana Rios; Sabrina Sato; Neymar...
Thanks for the input!
Don't mention it. (:
Carol Rodrigues Espero que você tenha entendido que eu me manifestei dizendo que quando se classifica pretos e pardos como sendo iguais está se restringindo a diversidade genética que um pardo muitas vezes possui. Mesmo que o IBGE adote este critério (que acho equivocado, na minha humilde opinião) a minha observação se faz pertinente. Creio que pardos tem que ser classificados pelo que são, mestiços, como em qualquer outra parte do mundo, nada mais, nada menos.
The jamaican girl is so gorgeous !
Габриела Генадиева Hey can you say something in English please,,, you are from Russia 🇷🇺 right and uno Russia is my favorite country and so beautiful country 😘🌹
Are Russian girls beautiful?
I love how every other one seems believable and accurate but the Indian one is way too serotyped. Yes in india people think fair skin is better, but that's the same as the people in Britain who think tanned skin is better. Also, not every women in india wears a saari. It's actually more fashionable to wear jeans and a traditionally designed shirt or top to go with it and dangling ear rings with heels for shoes. That's the average look. The whole look presented here is nothing but stereotypical.
k
I'm a fan of Natural beauty vs cosmetics surgery beauty because cosmetic surgery beauty cannot be transferred genetically to a baby
+Nunya Bizness Funny.
I love cosmetic surgery beauty.
It actually wasn't that good... the descriptions were right but the actress did not match specially for china and India
Somali beauty - tall, light skinned, silky hair and skinny basically
somali beauty - not starving to death in your first 5 years of life.
LMAO
And Virginity...
FYI Indian women wear that kind of dress with heavy jewelry only on special occasion or their marriage. They do not burst into song and dance all the time. Most girls between 18-35 wear salwar kameez or jeans-tshirt in the urban areas.
I don't get beauty standards, I just know that someone is beautiful when I see them
It is a great video but gotta say that It is sad that in a lot of counties cosmetic surgery seems like "the only way out", looking good is important, but not everything, and i don't know if it's just me but I noticed that girls are started to look more and more similar because people are following all these "trends" rather than be yourself.
So I would like to see a video on how people from different counties(both men and women) perceives plastic surgeries.
+Minjia Zhu Interesting idea! Will think about it. Thanks
The best beauty is still the healthy natural one. No make up, no plastic surgery.
Damn. That Indian girl's outfit is on point!
It really, really is not. It was hard not to cringe looking at the ensemble and moves.
natasha gupta I wasn't talking about her dancing abilities, I was talking about her dress. It's nice.
I was talking about both.
I agree with you, so cringe worthy.
Trust me that was the worst Indian outfit😂 ...real inidan outfits are lot more better
French girl looks so gorgeous
I'm British and the last thing I would ever do is tan, I'm naturally quite pale, my dress sense is just completely different, I can't bring myself to wear tight blouses or tiny clothes I'm comfortable wearing blouses or a simple vest shirt, it's odd. Most British females are really bold I guess, most are loud, wear a lot of make-up, are quite precise on their clothes if it's above 18c and sunny every female wears crop tops and shorts, a lot of females in Britian are very jidgemental. This is just my opinion based upon where I live in England, I don't even go out due to my trust issues with men and females, they're not one to trust or mix with where I'm from.
*tight dresses lmao
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
+Peter Norvig wow mate you are such an ignorant. Shit! It's the 21th century, think straight, goddamn it!
In my area north London most pale girls in my school get happy whenever they get a little tanned as they want to be 'black' or light skinned -.-
+Aly Mrso You are clearly a white supremacist and a racist. Middle Eastern women are the most exotic and beautiful in this world. Even white women can't compare to them.
As a Chinese I can assure you no one in China will think this woman is pretty...I don't want to offence individually but she looks like over 45.
When you turn 45 you will become ugly? o_O??
No. I mean shovel face makes Asian looks old and cliche. This video maker does not know aesthetical standard in eastern Asia very much. One face can not be beautiful for everyone but a beauty at least should be beautiful for most people.
+tianci li I see. I thought she looked fine. Typical Chinese face.
Ingenue Blue If you have a chance, do come to China. You will have a different thought
tianci li
I have already lived and taught in China. Changping...hour outside of Beijing. My boyfriend is also Chinese. There are many ethnic Chinese groups with Han being the majority. She looks typical to my eyes.
This is a great video, I would be interested to know if possible what are character traits desired in various countries. Such as outgoing, friendly, flirtatious, witty, intelligent, shy, etc. Thank you
+MB Thank you for the comment! Will think about your request:)
+Dating Beyond Borders that's a dumb ass question really
Latin women are very flirty and touchy feely that is why they always kiss each other to say hello.
Very friendly and outgoing.
iam very dissappointed.. u had a chance to break stereotypes here but u did the same old things... bollywood is not dominated by fair skin actresses.. there is an fair share of pale and dark skined actresses.. there is an whole pallette of nude colour in india.. and that dance and the music was sooo cringe worthy... and the girl representating india is not in accordance with indian beauty standard..
Please be honest to yourself and admit many if not all Indians prefer pale skin, look at all the Bollywood actors advertising it, the treatment of white Indians on darker ones and Africans living there....
+kamdem carole ill be honest ppl do prefer light skin ..but now only old ppl have that kind of thought.. and i was talking abt fair skin not dominating bollywood.. not skin preference of ppl.. now duskier actresses are the top ones..
+kamdem carole white skin preference over dark ones used to be a norm over hear.. still is.. i am not denying it.. ppl still lean towards the fair ones.. but one thing is sure positive .. things are changing.. the newer generation does not care abt colour.. so one thing is sure.. the future is better.. so when the future is going to look good then the least that could happen is stereotyping should stop..
sheetal jain i hope too because apart from that i see nothing else really wrong. As other nations you have your goods and bads. I wish you could also break some stereotypes and get to know Africans better we are not just the dark skin and some drug dealers and angry fellas. There are very good people too and don't doubt same about India. Thanks for the chat and have a good day
+sheetal jain in india ppl still prefer white girls and in bollywood there are only a couple of dark skinned actress... And talking about this generation..ppl haven't changed in fact dark girls are made fun of..I've experienced that myself..i'm indian dark too ..kindly not mislead other ppl!
east asain's standard: thin thin and thinner
To me beauty stadard is natural - No tan, no skin withening, no eating
disorders, no plastic surgeries - and the rest depends on how it suits you, how you own it.. Beauty is subjective. The lesson here
is that every nation wants to change their flaws, but flaws can be
beautiful, perfection itself stops being that. Just love yourselves
people, seriously.
Jamaica, Brazil, and Venezuela = 😍😍😍😍😍😍
OMG. The china one applies to sooooo many countries in East and South East Asia. It's because of the actress in Korean Dramas have double eyelid, oval face, fair skin and Kdramas are so fucking popular. Now everyone wants to be like that.
There is a mistake at 1:25, it's "cafe-au-lait-colour" not "cafe-au-laut-colour"
I'm from the Philippines and the standard of beauty is to look young and fresh and to look like you're mix.
Brazil was hot. Damn Brazil just damn.
That's quite a bold statement to say that 50% of Brazil's population is African, i'm sure a lot of Brazilians would disagree.
I'm brazilian and I was going to say that. 50% of the population identify as mixed, and not black
Thank fuck that wasn't true,I felt gross being associated with that
They have African ancestry, but also European, and a lot also native.
Mari Pedrini
If you want to identify yourself as a black women or relate more to that part of your heritage there is nothing wrong with that. But its wrong to say that African dna and culture is more important than European, or Native and therefore should be acknowledged more.
Ezequiel Aimar I agree, they are trying to make the mixed-race people to fell ashamed of identify as a mixed-race.
1:47: I'm wondering why this fact was mentioned... There are 66 millions of people in France, so it represents 0.8%... Not sure that we can say that French people are underweight based on that.
I'm British and I don't wear fake tan or eye lashes etc. I bearly wear any make up and most of the week I go without make up. I am happy in my own skin acne and all
I'm sad that many people beach their skin. Healthy skin is beautiful, regardless of color.
Great video, I love seeing how things are viewed differently in different cultures.
In my country Somalia, women with a lot of hair on their head, eye brows and arms (yes arms :p) are found beautiful, although i think this preference may fade soon. I found it interesting when I first heard in many other countries women with no body hair were preferred. Culture can be very interesting.
They're all so beautiful but the Jamaican girl was the prettiest 😍😍
In puerto rico a lot of women straightened their hair but ever since hurricane maria hit us, curly hair is starting to get popular.
I'm French and Algerian from both parents and yes in France we don't work out a lot its just that we can walk or take our bike easily for fun to go to work... for make up it's true too the majority of men like nudeIn Algeria. They love chubby girls with light skin
That's probably part of the reason why I feel I could have been French. I don't like going to the gym. I like to walk and ride a bike. I also prefer to look natural. Thanks for the insight.
The Persian one is so true lol... every time we visit family over there I see girls with bandages on their nose everywhereeee. They even wear them past when they can take them off. And everyone always compliments my nose by telling me, "it looks like you've had a nose job!" lol. They really do got a nose obsession.
the jamaican woman is beautiful
In the UK I think the beauty standards vary widely but the typical type of beauty standards that stick out are the "Geordie Shore" or "The Only Way is Essex" examples. But because a lot of foreigners have come to the UK now I think it's a mixed bag
I am surprised by how "brazil" I am
All womans in this video reminds a Brazilian, because the Brazil is a extremely miscigenated country!! There are many italian, german, nigerian, lebanese, dutch immigrants... For example, Brazil is the Contry with the largest japonese colony in the world, there are more japonese in Brazil than in China or Korea that are near od Japan.
Midousuji Akira how are you 👍
I used to hate that my skin was so white and now I embrace that and don't even think about tanning which hurts fair skin more than most other types.
I love India and Iran China as well.
Anglo Spanish Vlogs Box Caroline Jameela Robert thanku so much for loveing my country india 🇮🇳 you are really good person
The Indian one was so horrible. Like who wears those kind of outfits? Even the most stereotypical women don't wear something like that. Or use those kind of accessories and make up. It looked really fake.
Why is the Indian model dressed for a wedding? I don't think the model reflects the Indian beauty standard because it's not just about light skin. Facial features and grace count too. The Brazilian girl is closer to the Indian ideal with her soft feminine features, light brown skin, and long silky hair.
Doesn't the Brazilian model look like a more tanner more beautiful and thinner version of Bollywood actress Zarine Khan??? She was beautiful.😍 I can imagine Indian men really liking her.
i think being yourself makes you most beautiful person
Why was the Indian and the Iranian girl the same person?
because iranian woman are not alowed to také part in videos like this maybe..
bembela87 Wrong, buzzfeed actually has a video called "Iranian Beauty Through the Decades" or something like that and it features an Iranian woman. The girl who is modeling the Iranian style in this video is Indian so you are also misinformed there. It's not that they (women of those particular countries) can't participate in videos like this (westernized) because they do, it's the fact that Buzzfeed was lazy or didn't want to pay an Iranian to represent Iranians in this video and this happens all the time in mainstream media. Misrepresenting or underrepresenting can be very harmful and Buzzfeed of all media outlets should know that. So again, why is an Indian girl representing Iranian culture?
How was Buzzfeed lazy if they actually used an Iranian girl?
no! it was the French and Iran that was same
the most beautiful beauty standard is being comfortable in your own body size,colour,shape,weight.
i dont think the indian girl is indian . what's she doing with her hands ?
Ohhhhhhhh Brazil you never disappoint
In Scandinavia women strive to have really fit bodies with defined muscles.
so they strive to be little boys?
hu 3 True, my hair is down to the middle of my behind, haha
***** Where did you heard fit bodies and defined muscles are more healthy then other bio types?
+Junior , No, we want to be and look healthy. I don't see how that makes us little boys.
I don't think that Scandinavian women strives towards having defined muscles. Of course I don't know any statistics, but I don't think I know any woman here in Sweden that thinks the muscular look is the ultimate one. I think we are more for the "lagom" look. Fit and lean, without too much muscle definition and moderate curves (no Kardashian style here) and make up that enhances your features but still looks natural.
Yall need to come to South Africa!!!My God I just love the range of beauty that comes out of South Africa. The women are soooo different from each other, yet they are all so beautiful :) On your list, I got to go with the Jamaican Girl, shes just fit, glowing, and she moves. The French girl is cute. If it wasnt for the nose job, be Iranian would come 2nd place. I do prefer women with a rounder lower body, but it has to be natural... Boob, butt, nose, whatever...I hate all jobs...cliche but ultimately I love a woman who is already in love with her own beauty, it comes through in how she carries herself :)
+LETHAMAGA RICHARD Mabula It's definitely on my list! I would love to go to South Africa!

Yep the U.K. One is on point! So much tan, and eyebrows, everyone looks so generic...
+Belle374 And the USA, I never thought that UK was into it.
oh TRUST me..... the Uk is into it XD
Belle374 maybe it's just me, but when I was a lot younger British women were known for their beautiful "English Rose" skin, devoid of a tan, and very minimal makeup, if any. Seems like that has changed
that's still a stereotype, i've found low amounts of makeup and cute is is very common at least up north where i am from both my girlfriends were tomboyish cute style, but yea the chavs have set a standard for high amounts of the disgusting fake tan.
skin beauty - nice face cut, fair to light dark skin
overall beauty depends on how much you earn today.
rest everyone is beautiful to me, love you all
why you showed other country's woman with casual clothes and an indian woman in typical traditional clothes.
actually that is a good thing.INdain women should be prud of their own traiditonal clothese because they are far mroe beautiful than other casual clothes!!Shame on you for crticising such a nice thing
I don't think the UK, USA, Brazil and Venezuela have any traditional clothes tbh
in Australia women's beauty standards are tanned, athletic figure (some curves but not too much) blonde hair/blue eyes.
Sounds very similar to the Swedish beauty standards; blonde and blue eyed, toned, tan, tall, and preferably large boobs. I wish that brown hair, fair skin and a shapely booty would become the ideal instead cause I look nothing like the ideal right now haha xD
lol youre gorgeous :)
As well ,sun there is fucking hot whole year, you can have have your body suntanned easily.

I agree that fairness is considered to be a criterion of beauty in India, but I disagree that Bollywood reinforces that image. The top-earning leading ladies of the 2000s and 2010s include considerably dark-skinned actresses like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Rani Mukherjee. They may not be extremely dark, but definitely represent a more average skin tone.

Hi! I'm Arab and beauty standards for middle eastern women are quite simple: we like wide eyes with heavy eyeliners, a curvy body is very wanted as well! we also prefer silky, super long, thick hair!
Iran is a persian country not arab so it's not the same mentality and beauty standards
