Modern beauty is a world away. Today it is about gloss, polish, vitality and style. It is a rich and varied picture — full of every exotic ethnicity, every skin color, hair type and age. In fact, if we struggle to label today’s version of beauty, we could say it is about individuality. If you flick through the pages of Vogue, you will see that there is no longer just one look to strive for, one icon to emulate or one fashion to follow. Beauty is as diverse, individual and idiosyncratic as the women we see around us. What matters now, and where the talent of the modern beauty lies, is to learn how to make the right choices, to make the most of your looks and to find time for yourself while you are at it.
