Media often puts out a message on how women are supposed to look.
Almost every single time a person flicks the pages of a magazine there is this image of a perfectly flawless woman, who has a body not of the average women and has a face with not even one touch of a wrinkle. Most people don't realize that it is mostly make-up, or that the image has been changed a little on the computer. The media is also obsessed with the model who has eurocentric features. The model sporting African or Asian features is rare. Yet, beauty comes in all colors, shapes and sizes.
