The high-fashion model is a slave to the camera, the reason that nowadays, women and increasingly, men are undergoing a medical operation to improve the appearance of one’s face, or a medical procedure involving an act of cutting with instruments; to perform and repair, injecting and implanting foreign materials in some parts of the body, all in the pursuit for better looks. But not on the newly crowned Miss Universe Leila Lopes. She said she'd prefer to stay as she is. And thanking God by saying, “I'm very satisfied with the way God created me and I wouldn't change a thing.” I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty.

Normally, everybody wants to appear beautiful or handsome to the extent of exerting physical effort in the pursuit of attractiveness even it is done artificially. Cosmetic surgery, once it was only the giving pleasure and satisfaction of the rich, is now reshaping women and men, of all ages and incomes. Who knew that all this time, there is a study to secret ageless, youthful skin right in their veins? It is called a Vampire Face Lifts, using their own blood extracted, then de-platelet, to loosen the blood clot through spinning in a centrifuge. After the blood clot was loosened by centrifugal spinning, it will be injected back into their face in order to reduce the age of fine lines and wrinkles. The main objective is to look young and beautiful.

The characterization of a person as “beautiful”, whether on an individual basis or by community consensus, is often based on some combination of Inner Beauty, such as personality, intelligence, politeness, charisma, integrity. While the Outer Beauty which includes physical factors, such as health, youthfulness, facial symmetry, and complexion. But people of today are influenced by the images they see in the media to determine what is or is not beautiful. 

Being beautiful predominantly is the criteria of a beauty pageant. It is a competition for the most part is based on the physical beauty of its contestants, although such contests often incorporate personality, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria. Regardless of the method of competition, break down of scores or frequency of selection; all are defined as "entertainment in the form of a beauty pageant." Critics of beauty contests argue that such contests reinforce the idea that (usually young) women should be valued primarily for their physical appearance, and that this puts tremendous pressure on women to “be beautiful” by spending time and money on fashion, cosmetics, hair styling and even cosmetic surgery.
