They say “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder” and it might be true to a certain extent. It is such a subjective idea that is majorly controlled by what you’re used to looking at, that it is hard to objectively define what you find beautiful and what you don’t.
Apart from the dominant Western standards of beauty, Pakistanis and Indian are driven by features that don’t match the stereotypical features of the area. They look for lighter tones and colored eyes. They look for sharp and pointed features as well.
It is very easy to analyze where those particular standards of “real beauty” come from. Some of them stem from the low self respect attached with dark skin while others have been influenced by the dominant American media that most of us consume.
