My entire life I had heard stories about the beauty of Thai girls. From friends who had visited Thailand to travel guides, they all praised the beauty of Thai girls. But there was one thing that confused me; why do Thai girls put on so much white makeup if they are naturally so brown?
I had to find out.
When I finally visited Thailand for the first time, I was amazed at the beauty of the women there. Every time I looked around, I saw a woman with beautiful features. But what struck me the most was the white makeup that they all wore. It was as if they were trying to hide their natural skin tone and go for something lighter.
This made me wonder why Thai girls are so brown and yet they put on so much white makeup. I had heard that the sun in Thailand is particularly strong and that it could be quite damaging to the skin, but surely that didn’t explain why all Thai girls wear white makeup.
I decided to ask around and find out the real reason. Most of the people I talked to said that it was a matter of beauty standards. They said that in Thailand, the ideal of beauty is to be fair-skinned. This is why Thai girls put on white makeup and try to lighten their skin tone.
I also learned that this is not only a Thai phenomenon. Fair skin is considered to be more desirable in many Asian countries. It is seen as a sign of wealth and power. Darker skin tones are associated with manual labor and poverty.
So, it is no surprise that Thai girls put on white makeup in order to look lighter. It is a way for them to try and meet the beauty standards of their society.
However, it is important to note that this is not the only way that Thai girls express their beauty. Many Thai girls choose to embrace their natural skin tone and celebrate it. They use makeup to enhance their features and highlight their natural beauty.
