The actress is naturally red-haired and has a lot of freckles, which make her look romantic. The sun is dangerous for her skin type, so Julianna often appears in long shorts and a turtleneck even on the beach. She carefully protects her skin and uses sunscreen with a maximum SP level.

Sultry tan vs aristocratic pallor

Nowadays, complexion depends on fashion trends. Tanning, which recently enjoyed enviable popularity, is gradually giving way to aristocratic pallor.

Few people know that the fashion for tanning was, in some way, introduced by Coco Chanel. One day, when she accidentally lingered on the beach, her skin acquired a golden hue, after which Coco organized a show of tanned models in swimsuits from her new collection.

Modern fashion is tolerant of both white-faced people and those who prefer “ripe” skin. A tan is more often perceived as an appropriate attribute in order to highlight an athletic physique.

And yet, what is better: tan or pale?

Maria Peretrukhina, advertising specialist:

“Tan... so much in this word - sun, sea, relaxation, summer! It will highlight everything you need and hide flaws. A golden tan always attracts, beckons, delights, but only if it is truly golden and not black! Girls, please come to your senses: an African tan does not suit a Slavic appearance - it is complete bad taste. It’s better to be absolutely white, like freshly fallen snow. When I see fair skin, I get the feeling that the girl is pure and flawless like morning dew. I’m sure that if you follow consistent colors in your clothes and properly selected makeup, you will drive men oversaturated with tanned bodies crazy!”

Yulia Druzhkova, student:

“I love paleness. I don’t like girls smeared with self-tanning, “overcooked” in a solarium. Paleness for me is a sign of taste, aristocracy and beauty. The girl with a deep tan looks like a peasant woman who worked in the field for a long time under the scorching sun.”

Andrey Sviridov, leading engineer of the IT service, hobby - sports ballroom dancing:

“As a dancer, a tan is simply necessary for me. A darker tan emphasizes the image of a hot partner in a Latin American dance program, and a light tan sets off the whiteness of the elements of a tails suit in a European dance program. Of course, in dancing you can do without a tan, but still tanned dancers look more colorful and attractive from the outside.”

Yulia Pirogova, technical support specialist:

“I myself am not particularly tanned, so I am for paleness. My skin suffers greatly and deteriorates from the sun, including in the solarium, so I am categorically against this

"violence". I can’t find a tanning cream; even the cream with the strongest protection does not save me from redness and blisters. Therefore, I perfectly understand pale girls and boys. And the pallor adds a certain charm. Like this!"

Natalya Polyakova, eyelash extension specialist:

“I prefer a tan, but not too much. There are people who are pitiful to look at because they are too pale, as well as those who are too keen on solariums. Everything is good in moderation. The solarium personally helps me out a lot; I go once or twice a year. A light tan looks great on both the face and the whole body. Summer tans don't last long, so lamps can help! As for pallor, I can say that it looks painful and is not at all fashionable. It’s fashionable to be healthy and beautiful!”

Peshkov Vladimir, media relations specialist:

“The theme of a bronze tan and tanned girls has always been visible on the covers of glossy magazines. This is not surprising, because a luxurious tan acquired on the beaches of exotic countries is identified with a carefree life and bliss. Agree, it’s much more pleasant to look at tanned girls than at pale representatives of the fair sex who come from, say, Stockholm. In a word, tanning is a constant attribute of successful people. People who know where and how to properly spend their vacation.

A beautiful woman with beautiful shapes, in a minimalist swimsuit or without it, serenely lying on a chaise longue under the rays of the sun... Yes, in my opinion, this is an excellent soul mate for a man.”

It only remains to add that in pursuit of fashion you should not go against your nature. Remember that beautiful skin is healthy skin. Take care of yourself!

The actress was born in Hawaii and spent her childhood in Australia, but she never aspired to be dark-skinned. She has pale skin and red hair, which have become her defining feature. Kidman takes care not to burn his skin. Even when filming in the desert, she asks her assistant to open the sun umbrella whenever possible.

Victims of beauty: poisonous pallor

lead white toxic cosmetics

People say that if a person has “porcelain” skin, it means noble blood flows in him. Girls started chasing a bronze tan only half a century ago. And before, milky white skin without a single blemish was considered real pride. The girls were afraid of the sun like fire, and used the most dangerous means to whiten it, such as lead-based powder. This remedy really made the lady’s skin white, but its side effects led to horrifying consequences over time. PEOPLETALK will tell you about the sacrifices medieval women made in the name of beauty.

The woman's white skin spoke of her status, that she did not work in the fresh air, but sat in a castle. The tradition of applying white on the face dates back to Ancient China. Thus, women followed the Eastern tradition of hiding their emotions so that men would feel relaxed in their presence.

But if inexpensive whitewash in Japan and China was made from rice flour and bird droppings, then, for example, in Ancient Greece they already used lead-based cosmetics. Lead is a very toxic substance; paints based on it have long been banned in all civilized countries.

In Europe in the 16th century, the fashion for white lead was introduced by Queen Elizabeth I of England. Without a doubt, she was a great monarch, but her contemporaries describe her as an extremely melancholic, indecisive and depressive person. This is probably due to the queen's difficult childhood, because, as you know, her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed when the girl was only three years old. But there is another possible reason - lead-based whitening. The ladies of the court loved to apply them to their faces and chests. Contemporaries noted that Elizabeth grew old quite early, and one ambassador even described the terrible condition of her teeth. This is a telltale sign of lead exposure.

At 60, Elizabeth looked like a decrepit old woman, so she ordered all the mirrors in the palace to be broken. Her teeth fell out, and to make her cheeks seem less sunken, she put cotton wool in her mouth during appointments. Elizabeth died from lead poisoning, like many other women of her time.

Ironically, noble ladies, not understanding what was happening to them, wore more and more makeup, trying to hide the signs of aging.

But did the girls really not notice the strange symptoms of lead exposure? Of course, they felt fatigue, loss of appetite, drowsiness and saw their extraordinary pallor, but these were precisely the qualities that adorned medieval ladies. Therefore, the signs of poisoning did not frighten the naive aristocrats, but brought them joy.

It is difficult to imagine what happened to the skin. She was simply dying. During periods of exacerbation, the skin was covered with scabs and oozing blood. The use of such whitewash led to loss of teeth, hair and even loss of vision. Cosmetics containing lead were produced until the end of the last century. Scientists had to spend a lot of effort to convince people that lead is extremely dangerous.

Modern women are disproportionately luckier. Firstly, we have high-quality cosmetics. Secondly, in case of skin problems, we can always turn to a specialist for help. And yet, to this day, women continue to sabotage their health for the sake of beauty. Look at the endless destructive diets, liposuction and dubious plastic surgeries! Fortunately, it’s no longer fashionable to poison yourself with lead, but when you go on another express diet before the holiday, think about whether beauty is worth such sacrifices?

Aristocratism is not just appearance, but also a way of thinking, a type of behavior. No matter how sophisticated a girl is, if she behaves vulgarly and attracts too much attention not at all with her beauty, but with the habits of a market trader, no one will admit the idea that “blue blood” flows in her veins.

Olga Muravyova wrote an excellent book “How a Russian Nobleman Was Raised.” It sets out the basic principles and norms that the nobles were obliged to follow.

So, the story about one descendant of a noble family is very revealing. Having visited the camp of a geological expedition, he was surprised by the uncleanliness of the people who lived there. But instead of walking around and wincing in disgust, he began cleaning the toilet himself, showing the others that there was no need to be afraid of dirty work. It is much worse to live in such conditions and not change them.

This is the essence of aristocracy. It doesn’t matter what condition a person has, and even when broke it is necessary to remain a person, maintaining dignity and honor.

Appearance

I would like to emphasize that appearance is not always noble. Often representatives of the nobility look quite ordinary. And that's the best case scenario. Do you know why? Therefore, in order to preserve “pure blood”, or, as it is also called “blue”, marriages were performed between relatives. The result of which were children with disabilities and deformities.

So the characteristics of the appearance, its main features in the ideal version, are as follows:

Hair. They can be of absolutely any color, which is especially pleasing for women who periodically want to bring changes to their image and color them. The only thing is that they must be well-groomed, healthy and shiny. Preferably beautifully styled, since loose strands can get tangled, and this does not look aesthetically pleasing.

Eyelashes and eyebrows are dark, even on blondes. And even better if they are black. The forehead is straight and high. The nose is smooth and small. A small hump is allowed. The chin is narrow, in some cases sharp. The eyes are large or at least medium in size. Color, as in the case of hair, does not play a special role. The figure is graceful, evoking associations with a crystal vase. Even if she is overweight, she still seems sophisticated. No rough or incorrect proportions.

The nail bed is neat, almond-shaped. The skin is light, translucent or with a slight pinkish tint. No tan. There is also an absence of acne and inflammation. It is always clean, velvety, making you want to touch it.

The foot size is not big. Even men have tiny, neat feet.

Basic behavioral characteristics

Posture

Such a person will always keep his back straight. And under no circumstances will he allow himself to slouch. Even if she has to work as a cleaner, she will perform her task with a posture that the queen herself would envy.

Smoothness of movement

No sudden movements, rude gestures, active facial expressions or loud laughter. An aristocrat knows how to present himself in order to evoke admiration and respect.

Accuracy

Clothing is an auxiliary means of forming an image, by no means the key. Let it not be very expensive, but clean, elegant, emphasizing style. The emphasis should be on the personality, the mind, and not the exposed parts of the body.

The shoes of aristocrats are mostly classic. There are always accessories, ties, cufflinks, watches, scarves and jewelry. Only in moderation, thoughtfully.

Speech

Like all other people, he experiences negative feelings. But he will never allow swearing. And even if they provoke a conflict, such a person will remain calm, so as not to “fall face down in the dirt” and say too much.

He does not raise his tone, does not use barbs, and avoids empty chatter and gossip. Strength of spirit and good manners allow you to defend yourself and your dignity without aggression and violence.

One can only envy his vocabulary, and all thanks to his erudition and desire for self-development.

Respect

The same applies to both representatives of the highest nobility and ordinary workers. He does not focus only on himself, but knows how to notice others and pay attention to them. Therefore, it’s always a pleasure to communicate with him and I want to meet him as often as possible.

Self-esteem

Values ​​himself and loves himself. He has a sense of self-esteem, thanks to which he will not allow anyone to treat him badly, just as he himself will never offend the weak and needy. Raising self-esteem at the expense of others is not at all his style. If only because this is not necessary, it is quite healthy, neither overestimated nor underestimated.

Personal space

Does not cause inconvenience by violating personal boundaries. Starting with the fact that he will not be familiar and switch to “you” without agreeing with the interlocutor in advance. And ending with maintaining distance.

Circle of friends

They prefer quality over quantity. They surround themselves with educated, purposeful and comprehensively developed people. They also tend to create useful connections that may well be useful in the future.

Self improvement

They strive for both physical, moral and spiritual development. They do not allow themselves to degrade or simply stand still.

Bastards

Bastards are illegitimate children. History contains many cases when noble people in power gave birth to children on the side, out of marriage, sanctified by the church. Some of them were recognized, received the throne, inheritance, and the right to command the country and troops.

For example, the English king William I the Conqueror, the only but illegitimate son of Robert the Devil. Or the English Queen Elizabeth I, whose father was Henry VIII. But the majority were not so lucky; they were persecuted even in their own circles.

In addition to an unexpectedly flared passion or love for ordinary peasants, the reason for the appearance of bastards is, so to speak, a change in genetics.

Excessive pallor, although it was considered a sign of aristocracy, in fact, most often it was the cause of some diseases and general weakness. Wanting to improve the health of future descendants, noble people entered into relationships with people of lower origin. Which were distinguished by their strength of body, hard work, activity and endurance.
