It's the same with everything in health, the aspects changed like modelling, more and more models become skinnier and skinnier which influenced a generation of kids to starve themselves and develop eating disorders. Similar to bigorexia where someone thinks they appear small when they are actually muscular, the disorders can affect people to the point that it becomes an obsession.
Ugh the ladies on top row look awful! Now Marilyn Monroe was one beautiful actress. I guess being as thin and bony as possible is the thing nowadays. I know I will see plenty of anorexic looking young women when I go to Seoul in the fall. It's so nasty!
Raquel Welch has my choice of physique any time...
Hourglass figure does seem to be back in fashion again, though, although in Asia it's still super skinny. Each body type is different, though; naturally skinny women don't appreciate bashing on their figures any more than larger women do. Ideally women of any size they're most comfortable with could feel beautiful.

I think this sums it up, girls are made to jump through hoops by trying to reach some delusion and they feel pressured to starve themselves but they need to realize that they are beautiful for who they are and they don't have to fit this standard that has been imposed upon us by society and the media.
I'm not bashing women for wearing make up, I'm blaming society and the media for putting exaggerated expectations.
