Why Do Modern Women Look Better Than Before?

(Original Title: 現代婦女何以比從前婦女好看?)

If you believe that modern women are more attractive than women of the past, you’re not alone. Let’s explore why this might be. First, the development of beauty techniques plays a significant role. Unlike the past, contemporary women have access to a variety of beauty products that enhance their appearance. Additionally, modern women have a better understanding of these techniques, which brings out their natural beauty. Even when they dress up, the overall effect is sophisticated and appealing. Another contributing factor is the use of cosmetics; they have become both an art form and a science, enhancing features in ways that were previously unimaginable. So, when we speak of progress in beauty, we must consider how these elements have collectively contributed to the modern aesthetic ideal.
