If you wanna land the lead role, you need to look the part. If you wanna get the job, dress for the interview. If you want people to listen to you, they have to see you first. Our society thrives on looks, so that means being perceived as “attractive” drives our physical appearance regimens.

That also means a truckload of insecurities.

Desperately trying to keep up, we become master manipulators and deceivers, creating the illusion of alignment with beauty standards and trends. I want people who see me to believe I actually have long lashes, smooth, monotone skin, and an hour-glass figure.

All of this is in a vain effort to become more desirable in the eyes of other people whose minds have been manipulated just like ours. 

There’s nothing wrong with cosmetics and alterations but if you take a moment to ask yourself why, the answer may surprise you.

In this episode, we’re going to take a deeper look behind what we strive to look like on the outside.
