The distinctive beauty of women from the East to the West has changed dramatically over the past century, yet it remains easily recognizable.
It’s fascinating to explore how people in the past looked and how they differ from us today. Each ethnic group has its own unique beauty traits, identifiable from hair color, skin tone to eye shape and smile. For instance, Eastern European women often have very fair skin and high foreheads, while Chinese women may have single eyelids and yellow-toned skin. All are beautiful and shine in their own unique way.
However, even within a single ethnic group, people continuously evolve. When you look at the comparison images below, you’ll be amazed at how women from various parts of the world have transformed in just the last 100 years. Over time, the distinctive beauty of each ethnic group has changed to some extent to align with the trends of the era, fashion, makeup styles, and more. Nevertheless, their charm and unique traits are still easily recognizable.
