Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder! A journalist and blogger based out of Kansas City named Esther Honig revealed what different countries find as "beautiful" with an experiment she dubbed "Before & After."

My project, Before & After, examines how these standards vary across cultures on a global level," Honig explained on her blog of the goal of her project, which revolved around having diferent people photoshop her face based on what they thought would make her look attractive.
