Hello everyone! Today we talk about beauty. Beauty standards in Japan for women. Trust me if you're not super familiar with Japanese culture you will be surprised. I was super surprised when I came to Japan. It will be a fun video to make. I'm actually very excited. Let's get started! Let's start with the face. In Japan the face is way more important than the body. So let's start with the first thing that Japanese women would want and it's one of the compliments I guess that I received the most. They tell me that I have a small face. Women here want a small face. I honestly think I don't have a small face. Maybe the face but my head is pretty big. I have a big head. They want like the western looking face with the pointy chin, not big cheeks, not a big forehead, kind of like a longer face. Thing number two you will hear this so much if you move to Japan. They want a tall nose. A tall nose is pretty much this part. You know how sometimes if you're Asian you have this flat like it doesn't really stick out. They want you to stick out. They don't want it flat. Personally I love Asian noses. They're so cute and small and adorable. They want a bigger nose. I don't know. I feel like in Italy people don't really want a tall nose. They call it tall nose. Really desirable. Thing number three this is weird. Before coming to Japan I had never paid attention to this. Not even once. I didn't even know it was a thing. Japanese women want to have a double eyelid. So pretty much this thing here. You see how it folds? My eyelid. Apparently sometimes Asians don't have this. So they use tape. They sell these like gluey pieces of tape that you can put on your eyelid so that you can create this like fold. But I think Italians usually or Westerners don't need to use it because usually we do have the double eyelid naturally. Trust me if you're Asian and you're watching this we don't pay attention to it. It's not a like sign of beauty. No need for tape but if you want to use tape because it's cool and you like it you do you. Thing number three this is really really weird. Japanese girls they like to have small bags under their eyes. Not big ones like when you don't sleep but like puffy little bags under their eyes. I guess they look good on them though. Because you can create those bags with makeup or products or even surgery. You can create that look but I guess on me it would just look like I didn't sleep and I'm hungover or something. I don't think I would look as cute as them. But Japan I love this country is so crazy. Thing number four still on your face this time your mouth. I feel that in Japan they don't really care about teeth or maybe it's not they don't care they just have different standards. They don't necessarily need to have wide straight teeth. Whatever not wrong they like to have these teeth here like this. It's kawaii it's good it is. So last thing about the face is your hair. In Japan they like to have banks. So many girls here have banks. Maybe it's because it's cute and kawaii and it's like youthful right like kids they have banks usually. Let's go to the body now. That is not super super super important as long as you're skinny you're fine. They don't have crazy standards like in Italy. In Italy our beauty standards are crazy both for the face and the body and everything. How skinny. Very skinny. To give you an example I feel that in Italy I am normal but more on the skinnier side. In Japan I am more like whoa she's so curvy and I feel like if I went to America I wouldn't really be curvy like I would be very skinny with some curves. In Japan girls are very tiny tiny and petite. I'm not a big girl but in Japan they're so so tiny and they're so cute. Second thing it's about your skin. So body's face body everything you need to be white. White and flawless skin which I don't have is like perfection and not just for your face but also for your body. I remember when I was a teenager in May I would start wearing miniscuits. It was before going to the beach. I'm usually I know I'm so white because I've been living in Japan for two years but usually trust me I'm pretty tan. Naturally I get tan so fast and I stay dark all year round. So in May when I started wearing miniscuits my mom was like so I knew you need to go to the beach first and in generally in Italy it's nice to be tan. Even now when I wear miniscuits and my legs are super wide I'm like oh my god. In Japan not a problem. Super wide legs wear a miniscuits so beautiful. They always wear sunscreen which is good but they even wear long gloves in August because they don't want to they arms to get tan. It's hot. They always go around with the umbrella. It's hot. Third thing about the body. Oh my god this is so strange. Mainly because I am with an American but they like small butts. To give you a compliment sometimes they might say oh you have a small butt. I'm pretty sure that if you are American you're gonna be like excuse me. If you're Italian it's not really a compliment you're gonna be confused like in Italy you cannot say big. You cannot say small you can only say nice butt. But in Japan if it's small it's cute and kawaii you have to be all skinny except for the boobs. Yeah no problem here but I'm not sure about the small butt. That's all for today. I want to make another video about Italian beauty standards. I hope you liked it.
