The notion of beauty is subjective, but it’s even more so in different countries and cultures. The question of a woman’s ideal body shape is the subject of much debate. This summer the Karma Beauty experts will try to give you an angle;

While Spanish and Colombian women are similar in their ideas, in Venezuela and Peru they prefer a full-bodied, strapless silhouette. In Argentina, on the other hand, they opt for a slimmer woman.

In the UK, the silhouette becomes more slender. In Italy, curves are a thing of the past: women are ultra-slim and leggy, just like in China. In the Philippines, the ideal woman should emphasize her hips and breasts. Hips are also very popular in Egypt, while in South Africa, the representation appears more lanky. This is to say that it’s important to understand beauty standards around the world, and how pressure is exerted to varying degrees in different parts of the world.

Taking breasts as an example, the Brazilian woman prefers small breasts and bountiful buttocks. In Africa, women tend to prefer generous, even excessive shapes, while Europeans remain focused on the cult of extreme thinness.

In conclusion: cultivate your difference, be fit, avoid excess and opt to optimize what’s still inside you.
