Identity - Physique

So I don't understand why people want to change their looks so much.

Actually, no, I do.

Life is about exploring things, stretching and visiting the corners of our minds, of your imagination and our potential.

Now, check these pictures, think, take a moment, and think again before formulating your opinion.

Do you find these attitudes destructive, embarrassing or glorifying to human nature?

The dilemma is the following:
If we are to live with what we're given and what is natural, is our inclination to produce and apply make-up unnatural? yet the (initial) materials used are 100% natural and their abundant existence, mainly in rocks, can only invite us to use them as we desire. 

How far can one go until they are deemed ''unnatural'' anyways? Does a certain chemical process determine the boundaries of what is natural?

On another note, do we dress up because we think we look better or because we think others will think we look better? And does that make us happy or does it make others happy and we thus are happy when they are?

I personally love the natural look, even to this extent:
(Our hair is kinda meant to look like that)

But what bothers me is that people try so hard to look 'good', whatever good may mean to them, and they forget that being happy and healthy on the inside will inevitably make you look great on the outside. Kohl is beautiful when properly applied, and was even used as sunshade in sunny countries, but it can do no good to a sad girl who eats hamburgers all day.

If we were all happy and healthy, like we once were, fashion and trends would be useless. But how boring is a world with no creativity and where you can't use your own body as your canvas?

Think think think and please comments! Ask questions, I'll reply :)
