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

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

The eyes... They make the biggest difference. And how do they even make their forehead smaller ? Is it just editing ? Idk

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...

This is a big thing in certain Asian countries. They want to appear as "doll-like" as humanly possible.

Judy Garland had to use prosthetics like this. Impossible to pull of in real life, but for camera, I guess it works.

That's a shame. I know they didn't think Garland was "pretty enough."

Some people do this for fun or it makes them feel comfortable about themselves. We all try to make an effort to make our selves beautiful. Asking why a person would do this you should first ask why people idolize celebrities. Being beautiful is considered highly desirable just like money if not more so. Kudos to this girl and all the others for their skill, artistry, and putting in the effort for something they want which is to be beautiful. Despite what anyone tries to say about the non-makeup faces being more beautiful, you’re in the minority. To question them doing this questions why we bother to pay for certain clothing items or why we prefer certain hairstyles. It’d be much more economical and environmentally friendly to all have the same clothing. These gals look good and I’m sure they are treated better and have more options for partners.

DIfferent beauty standards. In east asia, the ideal is to look as petite and dainty as possible, hence delicate small features.

The fact that they are removing it for the Internet does seem to hint that.

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."
