A lot of fashion is European though, which directly tied to the perceived beauty norms.

I think you guys are mistaking "fashion" for "designers". Yes, you want your shows to be in Paris and Milan, but if it's not featured on the red carpet by an American Actress you may as well sell it at H&M (Yes, I know H&M was featured at the Oscars and everyone trashed it to pieces).

Love when gamers talk fashion.

I'm not entirely sure this is racial treason like some of you guys make it out to be. It's just a look they're trying to achieve. Wearing lighter makeup is common even in the White Devil. In fact, it's reasonable to wear darker makeup during the winter, and lighter makeup during the summer.

IMO, almost everyone is beautiful.
Almost.

On a side note, one would think twice (besides myself) if I went out and got a tan.
