A new video is using stunning models and revealing statistics to illustrate what makes up beauty standards in different countries around the world.
In its latest installment, YouTube dating and travel series Dating Beyond Borders looks at female beauty standards across countries from the UK to Jamaica to show how vastly they vary and asking: 'how far do we go to look beautiful?'
Starting in the UK, a young tanned brunette poses in a simple white tank top and jeans with a full face of make-up.
The video then displays statistics, explaining that the woman's glowing complexion is to represent how more than half of women in the UK believe that they feel more attractive with a tan.
Liverpool, the video adds, is considered to be the most-tanned city in Britain, with more than 59 percent of women admitting to applying fake tanner at least five times per month.
For the next country, the filmmakers turn to the US with an African American model sporting a crop top and high-waisted jeans.
'Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have turned towards focusing on larger assets,' the clip explains.
The next shot sees the model posing for a series of selfies while it revealed that 15.6 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the US over 2014.
For Brazlian women, the video claims that the highest standard of beauty is 'smaller breasts and a round bottom'—a body type modeled by a young woman in a snug green dress.
However, to achieve the standard it seems many women in the country are willing to go pretty far, with the prevalence of butt enhancement surgeries doubling since 2013.
In fact, the clip states, nearly one in five of such surgeries in the world are performed in Brazil.
Jamaicais the next country covered, with a gorgeous fit-looking model dancing with one of the country's flags.
'In order to achieve the "healthy body girl" look, a woman must be between 160 and 210 pounds,' claims the video, adding that some women have been known to take the now-outlawed 'chicken pills'—engineered to help chickens grow faster—to help them gain bigger hips and bottoms.
Some have also been known to lighten their skin through dangerous, illegal bleaching.
For France, the video claims that women prefer to go for the 'au-naturel' make-up look and that going to the gym 'is not part of the lifestyle'.
The country is represented by a slim brunette model while the clip claims that French women are 'considered the most underweight in Europe'.
However, between 30,000 and 40,000 people in the country are affected by anorexia, and 90 per cent of them are women.
A woman decked in a glittering outfit and hefty jewelry is chosen to represent India, where skin bleaching is also very popular.
'Paleness is a sign of distinction and superiority,' the clip explains.
For Venezuela, the country that has produced the most winners of international beauty pageants, it's explained that there is a highly-criticized practice of giving implants to young girls on their 15th birthdays.
China's reverence for the 'double eyelid' is the focus of the next section in the clip, explaining that 'eyelid tapes' to achieve the look are 'available in pharmacies and beauty stores for those unwilling or unable to have surgery.'
The ideal face shape for a woman in China is the 'melon seed face', namely an oval shape with a pointed chin—and is so important in fact that dating sites in the country ask for face shape descriptions alongside other information.
The last country covered in the clip is Iran—illustrated with a woman in casual clothing and a hijab—where nose jobs are considered a status symbol. 'Both men and women wear their bandages with pride.'
