It's a fact that beauty standards and different perceptions vary a lot across the world, not to mention that each person has his own understanding. After the rise of social media, the cult of beauty trends became so important that some people even go an extra mile to look pretty just for the appearance on the internet.

So what defines beauty? In some parts of the world, it's the Rubenesque full figured woman, in others - bushy brows and dark hair. In some parts of Asia, e.g., China, some people reach the whole new level of creativity regarding the definition of beauty. The new Asian makeup fad is to look as delicate as porcelain dolls. And though the porcelain doll makeup look is nothing new, these girls here take it very seriously. Application of professional makeup now means not only highlighting their existing features but also creating new ones with the help of fake skin extensions, false eyelashes, and even special effects makeup.

The video below, that went viral a few days ago, shows the process of Asian girls removing their "sculpted" faces, and most of them become completely unrecognizable. Scroll down to see the makeup transformations for yourself and let me know your opinion about this in the comments below! (h/t)

Wow she's got a beautiful face. The fake one is literally much worse lol, just bland "they say it's pretty" face, hers has beauty and character to it, shame she doesn't see that(does she?).

The "elf" one is straightout creepy imo. Her actual face is kind of really cute though, she should try using makeup to underline that instead

It's probably cosplay, not the regular make she'd wear to work every day.

Can someone tell me what it is these ladies are pulling off around their chin? What is it? What's it used for?

Looks like some form of latex stage makeup. Liquid latex is used to add to a face or mask for films and stage etc.

Beautiful with and without. The Elf looks cool in my humble yet valuable opinion.

She is super cute without makeup! (though I really like the elf look too. Doesn't look human, but that's the charm)

This is not normal makeup - this is COSPLAY - an entirely different concept. OMG people.

Amazing, her head and facial features got 50-70% larger simply by removing make-up; magic...

There is a difference [or should be] between daily make-up and cos-play. This article should have been one or the other.

I prefer makeup that compliments my face. I hope others do the same.

What exactly goes through someone's mind to think "oooh that's! I am getting myself some elf ears..."!

We all look a little better with make-up. That's why we spend billions on it every year! She is very pretty without......

But what do you do if you meet a guy in full makeup and then have to show your real self? He's been hornswoggled. He hasn't had time to get to know and appreciate the real you, so that real you may be a deal breaker simply because of what amounts to fraud.

How does she make her nose look smaller? Why does she wear makeup like that, in the first place? I would be interested to know!?

She's using more advanced techniques of taping back and lifting skin on her face. Great for photos and drag, but not so practical in real life. Look of Miss Fame from Rupaul, she's a masterclass in makeup for camera.

She's cute, her only facial flaw is lack of eyebrows, which a lot of us women can relate to. Not sure why she wants to be an elf!!???

I think they use silicon or tape to draw back their cheeks and chins to get smaller angular look. Not sure tho

Why should anyone want to fake their own appearance so much??? Isn't make up ment to underline YOUR beauty...not to look like another person?!...Do that for halloween, cosplay or whatever...

Not seeing much difference on this one, looks like your average(fairly well done) natural-style makeup

I hate how some of them look at the last picture, so unhappy or apologetic for the way they REALLY look. It's just sad how some people feel like they have to literally wear a mask to feel "pretty" instead of loving themselves for who they are.

This girl is beautiful in her own right, so why the unnatural face to look like something else? Best love and acceptance is self love.

Make up is supposed to enhance or minimise the good or not so good bits. This isn't make up.

In the After pic, it's like she's thinking "Wow, I feel so much better, after taking all that off."
