In 2022, the beauty industry made approximately $430 million in revenue. The beauty market is not just false lashes and lipsticks. It includes anything from skincare, makeup, haircare, and grooming products. And the experts project that the numbers will only keep growing.

Beauty products and their popularity mirror certain trends that are happening at one or other time in history. And, well, just because things are popular, doesn't mean that absolutely everyone likes them.

That's why when one Redditor asked "What's a beauty standard that you find actually unattractive?", netizens had plenty of answers ready. The answers ranged from surgical intervention to just simply too much makeup. Check out all the answers below!

It's true that different cultures have different beauty standards. Most of the things listed here are Western beauty ideals. A paper by Harvard University writes: "Western beauty ideals include being thin and tall, having long hair, having light/tanned skin, having big breasts, large eyes, a small nose, and high cheekbones."

Consultant psychologist Dr. Elena Touron told Glamour that people adhere to beauty standards because they want to fit in. "When we're flooded with unrealistic images on a daily, hourly basis (as can be the case with social media), it's no doubt going to have an influence on our self-perception and how we view the world more generally."

Unrealistic beauty standards are especially harmful to adolescents, as their brains are still in development. Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt wrote for The Atlantic that teenage girls are especially vulnerable. 

"The subset of studies that allow researchers to isolate social media, and Instagram in particular, show a much stronger relationship with poor mental health. The same goes for those that zoom in on girls rather than all teens. Girls who use social media heavily are about two or three times more likely to say that they are depressed than girls who use it lightly or not at all."

On the other hand, social media can also help us shake off toxic beauty ideals. A 2021 study found that those who observed body-positive social media experienced improvements in body satisfaction.

PsychCentral writes that social media might provide inspiration and support to live healthier. Many accounts provide advice about nutrition and exercise. And online communities can act as support groups where people find empathy, understanding and encouragement.

the sad thing is the older you get the more you see the marketing machine keeps moving the goal posts. It is never really about looking any certain way being 'ideal'. It is about convincing you that however you look is not good enough so you need to purchase what product they are selling. This is why you can go back through old photos and notice certain distinct looks for every decade. Those people were doing the thing that was supposed to be cool / popular / attractive at the time. Only to later be mocked by people buying jeans they purchased torn / with holes. LOL

Contouring is weird because it can be subtle and effective but most people use it aimlessly. They’ll contour their nose because brown powder drawn there is What’s Done, not because it’s going to flatter their actual nose.

“Settle Down, Handsome Squidward”: 40 People Reveal What Beauty Standards They Find Unattractive Women having to shave their genitals or its considered weird. You ever seen a historical depiction of a goddess that was clean shaven? Not only has millions of years of evolution trained my brain to see Bush and know you are fertile, and therefor its just deeply instincually sexy. But on a deeper label, its so powerfully feminine in a deeply beautiful, artistic way. A girl with her natural hair looks like a literal goddess. A girl with a bikini wax looks like a child. Its such a huge turn off, and like men demanding it gives of hella p**o vibes.

Women should choose what they want not "men demanding". But there are other reasons for shaving or at least trimming. Certain activities are more enjoyable and I've heard more than one woman comment they preferred trimmed because it made hygiene easier. Not sure where OP's head is at but a shaved woman doe not look like a "child". The body changes are more than just the pubic hair. Anywho - the 'norm' varies by culture. Japanese don't, Muslims do, apparently ancient Egyptians did. Decision should be the woman's but societal views seem to vary by country / culture.

A well done long beard can be nice. Not for me as a straight cis male who can't grow a decent beard anyway. But I've seen nice ones. The other day I saw a "dwarf" coming out of a store. He was normal size - but I mean he looked like one of the dwarves from LOTR or something. Huge red beard halfway down his chest and and a stout, 'dwarf like' body. Again, I mean DnD / RPG dwarves, not midgets / short people. I can't describe it well in text but basically he would have looked awesome doing dwarf cosplay for a convention.

“Settle Down, Handsome Squidward”: 40 People Reveal What Beauty Standards They Find Unattractive The common beauty standard around Asia is really weird to me - skeletor skinny, sickly pale, and timid. I've seen girls avoid eating, wear hats, masks, jackets, and pants in super hot weather to avoid sunlight, and cover their face in countless different skin cremes. Most of them would be beautiful if they ate something and got some sun though. Doesn't help that family members make disparaging comments with even the slightest bit of weight gain or tanning.

I grew up in the 90s, women with no thighs or butt, and large often fake breasts, were the pinnacle of the playboy franchise. I adopted this standard of beauty as a young man. I now love a naturally curvaceous woman. I want to make it clear women of all shapes and sizes I can see beauty in. I feel bad for those who alter their appearance to fit the aesthetic of anytime. Finally personality is sooo important. A “stunner” can alienate themselves with a bad attitude. An “average” person can impress with a smile.

Not just the feet, though they DO take a LOT of damage from high heels. I wore high heels once for a job interview - I spent the next week with my feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back giving me nothing but grief. And these heels were no more than about 2 inches tall. To top it off, I didn't get the job, either.

There's a trend in female Kpop idols (I'm not sure if it's in South Korean culture as a whole--I know idol culture can be magnified quite a bit) to remove the fat from their cheeks, so their faces don't look so round and "fat". Every single woman I've seen do it goes from looking gorgeous to looking vaguely alien. The round face seems to be seriously looked down upon, which is a damn shame.

Brooke gets a pass because she had just always had full eyebrows. She was 14 in Blue Lagoon and has prominent brows even then, just a bit lighter in color (at least for that movie). I feel like is you have a look for 40 or 50 years then it's your look rather than you bending to a current trend. Also - I've never seen her brows look ridiculous like some I've seen.

The frozen look - which might look nice for posed selfies, but in person there’s a real uncanny valley feeling about it.

People who watch makeup videos and try to over contour their face and then don't blend it well. When people do that on videos it is so much product and looks decent in pics but from what I have seen in person it does not translate well. The stuff is so thick I can't image the amount of remover it takes to get off the face. It also looks so damn fake in person.

There is real skill to putting on makeup such that you look 'better' but at a glance it doesn't look like you are wearing makeup. I know some women who can, and for special occasions they look amazing. But they never look "Tammy Fae" with it. Mostly I prefer women who are comfortable in their own skin. Nothing or just a moisturizer base for skin protection. I realize - IMO / YMMV

...and for some it is needed to give them a more masculine look. If they have a really androgynious or even kind of female look, a beard can be sure signal that prevents them from being mislabeled. But yes, if your natural facial hairgrowth is really sparce (like mine) the result will just look pathetic. I also have a patch in the middle of my chin that will not really fill out, and when my beard becomes much longer than stuble, it becomes rally prominent. I guess the only way to make it less noticible would be to make two braids in it, and I certainly do not have enough of a viking physic to pull of that look (though there probably is some viking in my genes).

Overly bulky upper body that is not proportionate with the rest of the body.

It is just a personal opinion and I respect people who aim for this. However, I absolutely despise people who have this built and walk around acting as if the entire world should fall for their body.

Unnatural waistlines, they seem so painful and strange to me. Nobody is naturally gonna have a pencil thin waist

Um, yes, they can and do. My mom's nickname was "String bean." She was naturally a size 0, and she ate like a horse and didn't gain weight because she had a fast metabolism and a thyroid problem.

Fades on men. As a gay man, I understand the aesthetic and why it's popular, but the over-polished, tailored look is too much. I really dig those guys who let their hair grow out just enough to curl around their ears and the back of their necks, and sometimes wear baseball caps that just enhance the pushback of the curls. It's so sexy.

Sweet! It's great to know I am "sexy". I thought I was just waiting as long as I could between haircuts to save money. :)

Men removing their body hair, especially their pubes. A nice trim down there once in awhile, but clean shaven or just neatly trimmed pentagon, nah.

I think just the opposite. I don’t need to floss with your hair. Also, pet peeve of mine: armpit hair sticking out when the arm is closed. Like come on! Groome a little bit!

They used to ban these for girls at my old school. Only for girls. The reason: ripped jeans distract male teachers. Like wtf they shouldn't be looking. I like them but it's your opinion.

Whatever Target is currently selling in their clothing sections. It looks like they grabbed clothes from every era and put them all together

I looked damn good when I had my Monroe piercing. I wish I still had it.

What if they are born like that? Or is it also a surgery?
