The Vogue magazine "get ready with me" videos with celebrities and models garner millions of views every time they are shared. It just goes to show how people buy into the celebrity influence culture.

We are curious how they take care of their skins and what products they use to get that Hollywood glow. The other side of this coin, however, is not as light and refreshing as the hydrating mists they swear by.

Picture-perfect women who are hailed as the standards of beauty set some unhealthy stereotypes for other women all over the world. People believe that if they do what their favorite celebs say and buy the products they use, they will achieve that kind of beauty.

What's not being discussed much is how female celebrities subject themselves through hours of expensive treatment to maintain their youthful beauty. They have the money to afford the best of everything and they have to because their physical attributes are a part of what sells them to the public.

That's why people flock and gawk when we see these usually put-together celebrities with barely any makeup on. Fans praise them for showing what they really look like behind the makeup and without studio lights on.

You know what? It makes them more beautiful in a sense because it shows that they really are just people like us but with access to wealth and treatments that common folks like us will only hear about.
