DARK COMPLEXION

A general conception about dark complexion aesthetically has always been unfavourable, but as everything has its pros and cons, a dark complexion has also been attributing to attractiveness. BY the passage of time, people’s aesthetic preferences have also been changing, as an example, in 1920 fashion designer COCO CHANEL accidentally got sunburnt while vising FRENCH RIVIERA. Her fans liked her dark tone and started adopting that afterwards. Later on, Parisians fell in love with Josephine Baker, a “caramel-skinned” singer in Paris, and idolized her dark skin and started taking sunbath for tan skin.

SO once one thing considered to be aesthetically unpleasing became pleasant and catchy later on.
It’s very human nature to stay dissatisfied with their personal possessions, as who has curly hairs she always aspires others straight hairs, if someone has brown colour eyes he wants to have green or any other colour, so we can say beauty does not do anything with dark or fair complexion. It’s in the eyes of a beholder because nature has created everything perfect.

It’s just about conceptions game, whatever influence human psychology that changes their general conceptions no matter
how old or deep_rooted that would be.

After 1920 a rapid change emerged that affected psychologies and influenced media to cosmetic agencies start appreciating and promoting inclination for tan skin. So it’s not dark complexion but overall influential personality and general conceptions that appreciate the beauty in human being and satisfy aesthetics. Another integral part is beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder so, anything that appeals other person is beautiful for him or her. Beauty defines satisfaction of personal aesthetics and choices that can be attached to anything.

In essence, a dark complexion is equally beautiful and desirable as fair ones are because nature is flawless, and human being is a masterpiece of nature.
