HELEN - PARIS, FRANCE
What is Beauty?
Beauty depends on the soul and exposure to life. I was lucky cause I was born in a poor family, my father spent 10 years as a prisoner in Germany and the women in my family grew strong. My mother was a miracle! That's beauty.

AUDREY, PARIS
What is Beauty?
For me Beauty is both physical and mental. Physical beauty, under a society and scientific aspect, lays in the symmetry of facial traits, but for me a person's beauty is all about the little peculiarities and "imperfections" , those that make a face different, unique and incredibly beautiful to my eyes.
What is the most beautiful thing in the world for you?
In an absolutel not objective way I have to say that the most beautiful thing on this world for me right now is my girlfriend
What makes a woman beautiful?
I think what makes a woman 'beautiful' is, like I said before, her differences and peculiarities. I could fall in love with a woman's gaze or her soul more than her outer beauty.
What makes a woman unbeautiful?
I don't think there are women less beautiful than others or that there's something that makes them unbeautiful; I think that beauty should be subjective and that every woman is beautiful for someone somewhere around the world. It's all about personal taste.
Do you feel beautiful?
I don't feel either sublime nor ugly. I accept myself for how I am and how I look and I am very comfortable with my body. I know my girlfriend finds me fantastic and the feeling is mutual, i think that's all it matters!

ELENA - PARIS,FRANCE
What is Beauty?
Love, joy, passion, generosity, originality, confidence, hopefulness… and the list could go on and on. Beauty to me transcends looks and aesthetics. I love this quote by Audrey Hepburn: “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”
What's the most beautiful thing in the world to you?
Kindness, generosity and selflessness. To me, the most beautiful people in the world are those who help others out of compassion and solidarity, without desiring anything in return.
What makes a woman beautiful?
Joy, positivity and strength.
What makes a woman unbeautiful?
Women are constantly bombarded by messages that tell us we are not enough just as we are. That we need to buy a plethora of products - or even resort to surgery - to make ourselves more beautiful. We are often our own toughest critics. In addition to this, especially when it comes to celebrity culture, it’s very common to tear women down publicly, pointing out perceived flaws (“look at the cellulite on X celebrity” or “Y looks so ugly without makeup”). This practice has to stop. Men’s bodies are not the subject of such close scrutiny; they live their lives without carrying this big weight on their shoulders. Because of this, I would never ever dare tell a woman that she is not beautiful. Throughout her life, she has already faced so much scrutiny and criticism. But if we were to go below the surface and judge inner beauty, I think that envy, jealousy and bitterness are incredibly unattractive qualities.
Do you feel beautiful?
I do, now. Of course, like any woman, I’ve experienced feelings of insecurity, shame and inadequacy about my body. But ever since I started working on my documentary The Illusionists, I realized that one of the main sources of this insecurity was the constant propaganda by media, advertising and the fashion industry. The beauty we see displayed on billboards, in magazines, on TV and on screens all around us is a narrow, manufactured beauty that excludes 99% of the population. Witnessing how there is an epidemic of body dissatisfaction around the world has completely changed the way I see myself. I am incredibly grateful for my body – especially for all the things it allows me to do.
