Beauty trends are an influence in the way we’re becoming posthuman, you could even state that some beauty ideals enforce posthumanism. Because of the growth of technologies certain beauty standards can be met easier nowadays. The question we should be asking ourselves is; do we really want to be able to execute all the beauty standards we see online? If we take a look at all the posts we’ve gathered on Instagram it’s becoming a bit extreme; cheeks so filled up with botox Maleficent couldn’t even compare , lashes so big they kind of resemble spiders and skins so clear, you’d question if the other person even has pores.

We’re slowly becoming people that exist in a state beyond being human, this is the very essence of becoming posthuman.

On a more serious note; Most beauty trends come from Western beauty ideals which concludes in there being a lack of representation. This will high likely end up in there being an unfair advantage for (already) western looking people in meeting the beauty standards. What will happen to the people who don’t even come close to the Western beauty ideals?
