This year, celebrities like Kim and Khloé Kardashian have been called out for promoting unrealistic beauty standards.

She said,"There was something about growing out my eyebrows and realizing how much I liked them. Even on a surface level, [it’s symbolic] of me appreciating my heritage, the two sides of my family that came together to make me right now. My family in Iran, family in Wisconsin, and family in Mississippi, my Persian roots."
She also discussed overcoming the feeling that she"needed [makeup] to be pretty for the world." She said,"It took a year-plus for me to learn to feel comfortable in my skin. Now when I want to use makeup, it’s because I feel like doing it, not because I feel like it’s a necessity."On the subject of embracing her curly hair, Yara said,"Again, it may seem surface level, but one [symbolic] thing about my curly hair is that I can’t help but to take up space.
Yara said,"We’ve been told to work backward: 'Look conventionally pretty, and then you will feel confident.' So there’s something about just embracing your unique physical features that ends up meaning so much more than just, 'Oh, I like my face.' It means I like myself. And to like yourself can be a revolutionary act.
