A Tragic Vanity

Continuation from previous post...

What is real beauty? When we look in the mirror are we blind to the way we look? A common artist practice for assessing your own work is to leave the piece of art work and look at it at another time as if you have never seen it before, then ask yourself; what is this work about? Often more times than not you won't be able to answer this question, but when you do, it could mean one of two things -- your codding yourself or you may have created something very special.

However, when relating this theory back to my original question -- 'what is real beauty?’ how is it represented? Are we dressing like others; is make-up a cover up? Is it necessary? A recent study on one particular model shows a dramatic change. See for yourself and ask what's the natural look or is this even a valid question?
