Warhol Beauty Philosophy

How can one live without knowing Andy Warhol's philosophy on beauty? Andy knows everything, from art to business to beauty. (All quotes came from The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again.)

Weight isn’t important the way the magazines make you think it is. I know a girl who just looks at her face in the medicine cabinet mirror and never looks below her shoulders, and she’s four or five hundred pounds but she doesn’t see all that, she just sees a beautiful face and therefore she thinks she’s a beauty. And therefore I think she’s a beauty, too, because I usually accept people on the basis of their self-images, because their self-images have more to do with the way they think than their objective-images do. Maybe she’s six hundred pounds, who knows. If she doesn’t care, I don’t.

Be proud of yourself no matter how your body is. You are you. Believe in yourself. If you have the confidence, f*ck the other people. They have their problems. You can see it in the next quote too:

Beauty really has to do with the way a person carries it off. When you see “beauty” it has to do with the place, with what they’re wearing, what they’re standing next to, what closet they’re coming down the stairs from.

But then one's beautiness also can affected by other variables...

Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it’s different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.

This is very true in a way. The surrounding does provide a backdrop that either compliment or disturb one's beautiness. (okay this kind of contradicts the first quote...) And here comes the last quote of the day:

If you’re naturally pale, you should put on a lot of blush-on to compensate. But if you’ve got a big nose, just play it up, and if you have a pimple, put on the pimple cream in a way that will make it really stand out — “There! I use pimple cream!” There is a difference.

This is meant to poke fun at people including myself - many thought the use of make-up (without proper skills and materials) would enhance one on how others would perceive them, but really they are just self-comforting.

What is your beauty philosophy?
