Among professional holidays, Beauty Day is probably the most amazing. It began to be celebrated in 1995 as a way to pay attention to professionals in the field of cosmetology and aesthetic medicine. But a few years later, the idea was picked up by public organizations, schools and modeling studios. On this day, beauty contests began to be held around the world, identifying the most attractive women from different countries.
How is this day celebrated in Russia? What are its traditions? And when will it take place in 2021? We talk about the history and features of the celebration of International Beauty Day.
What date is World Beauty Day 2021
In 2021, International Beauty Day will be celebrated on September 9. This is a fixed date. It has been celebrated all over the world since 1995. The founder of the holiday was the CIDESCO organization. This is an abbreviation that stands for “International Committee of Aesthetics and Cosmetology” in Russian. The organization was founded in Brussels in 1946 and has made a significant contribution to the development of cosmetology. A huge number of women today have the opportunity to maintain the youth and beauty of their face and body thanks to the activities of CIDESCO.
The date September 9 was chosen at random. It is not tied to any other events. But some experts believe that the beginning of autumn was chosen deliberately. This is the best time to take care of yourself.
A question of proportions
The faces we consider attractive tend to be symmetrical. Numerous studies and psychologist Anthony Little speak about this:
“Symmetry falls under our ideas of normality. That’s why we like symmetry.”
There are no people with perfectly symmetrical faces, but being close to this ideal provides a certain amount of success in the matter of attractiveness. Little calls this standardization "averageism," which also includes all sorts of factors, including the size of facial features and their placement.
Researchers from the University of California San Diego and Toronto found that the distance between a woman's eyes influences how attractive she is. This figure should ideally be slightly less than half the width of the face. Equally important is the distance between the eyes and mouth. Here the ruthless standard regulates the following: no more than one third of the height of a woman’s face.
History and traditions of the holiday
The mythological court of Piras can be considered the world's first beauty contest. It was then that he declared Aphrodite perfect and gave her the apple. But since then, beauty standards have constantly changed. And this happens to this day.
In different eras, people of different heights and builds were valued. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the beauty industry began to develop at an accelerated pace. People have new opportunities. Now there are a large number of ways to improve yourself and prolong your youth.
Plastic surgery and cosmetology are developing. Interest in the beauty festival is growing every year. For many cosmetic companies, this is another chance to remind women and men that they need to be beautiful every day, not to forget about themselves, and also to offer their products and services.
World Beauty Day falls on September 9; the history of the holiday is of great interest not only to professionals working in this field, but also to ordinary people. It is known that when establishing such a date, CIDESCO specialists wanted to draw attention to the perception of beauty. They had a desire to show that one should not be limited by generally accepted standards. All people are beautiful in their own way. You shouldn’t take your shortcomings too seriously; it’s better to pay attention to your advantages.
Each country has its own traditions, but usually there are no mass celebrations on this day. The events are small, they are held in libraries, educational institutions, and large salons. If the day is a day off, larger master classes and beauty contests can be organized.
Holiday Traditions
It’s not hard to guess that beauty day is unthinkable without a competition. A few decades ago, only the first beauties of the planet with a model appearance, an ideal figure and flawless skin could take part in festivals. Today the world is swept by the fashion for naturalness, and therefore on the catwalks you can see many different manifestations of beauty: plus-size girls, fiery brown-haired women with freckles, models with vitiligo, albinism and unusual skin pigmentation. The age range has also changed a lot - age-plus models, Balzac ladies, and very little girls take part in competitions.
The opportunity to work with a non-standard appearance is a great chance for beauty masters to show their talents. Of course, the main task of this day is not so much to show the wonders that Nature rewards people, but to demonstrate the skills of professionals. Therefore, competitions in hairdressing, makeup, body art, and nail design are held in the format of the holiday.
Who celebrates World Beauty Day
Traditionally, the holiday is celebrated by everyone involved in the beauty industry. These are stylists, makeup artists, hairdressers, cosmetologists, plastic surgeons, as well as employees of salons and plastic surgery clinics. But in fact, the list of those involved is much wider. Every person can consider themselves worthy of celebrating this day, as everyone is beautiful in their own way.
Recently, more and more attention is paid not only to external beauty. The state of mind and intellectual development are also important now. In the global sense, beauty implies not only the external, but also the internal. At relevant competitions, a lot of attention is paid to this point.
Interesting Facts
Belgium is considered to be the cradle of beauty pageants, where events have been officially held since August 1888. The competition served as an impetus to accelerate the evolution of stylists and hairdressers, which ultimately grew into the creation of SIDESCO and a new era in the development of cosmetology and plastic surgery.
There are an endless number of examples in history when beauty contests or the choice of the first beauty ended in tears for the winner. For example, in one of the African tribes, the most attractive girl was sacrificed, given to lions to be eaten, and in the harsh Middle Ages, beauty was one of the criteria for identifying witches.
What date is World Beauty Day in 2022, 2023, 2024
The date of the holiday is fixed. In 2021 it falls on Thursday. In 2022, September 9 will be on a Friday. The holiday falls on the weekend in 2023. He will be on Saturday. In 2024, September 9 falls on a Monday.
On weekends the holiday is usually more fun. Events can also be organized in open areas. But they are usually satisfied by representatives of cosmetic brands or salon owners, and not by the city administration.
Beautiful Look Day – March 23
An unofficial holiday for eyebrow artists and lash makers. The tendency to celebrate it has been noticed in Russia and Ukraine. 3 years ago, a petition was published on the popular petition site Change calling for eyebrow artists and lash makers to be included in the official register of professions, as well as to approve “Beautiful Look Day”.
The petition collected 139 votes, but the requests of the masters remained unheard. However, do not forget to congratulate the eyebrow shaping and eyelash extension specialist on March 23 - he will be pleased.
How World Beauty Day is celebrated in other countries
Everywhere the holiday is celebrated in approximately the same way. This day is not a public holiday in any country in the world. At the same time, they try to hold competitions on this date or very close to it.
In France, many salons offer free beauty treatments during the holiday, but availability is limited. Some cosmetic companies mark the ceremonial release of new products on this date.
International Women's Day – March 8
Let's start with the traditional Women's Day - March 8th. Initially, the date appeared as a day of women's solidarity, emancipation and freedom. In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed establishing an international women's holiday in the calendar, allowing people to go to rallies and attract the public to women's difficulties.
In Russia, March 8 has been officially celebrated since 1921 - the holiday was approved after the participation of women in the Petrograd demonstration in 1917. March 8 became a non-working day only in 1966.
Today the holiday is celebrated in 40 countries, but the state does not provide an official day off everywhere.

On a note!
Don't skimp on compliments. Every person has their own merits. And this definitely needs to be noted.
Stereotypes or nature?
So, biology is biology, but still: what role do stereotypes play in this issue? Is it possible to develop predispositions towards certain types of people? As it turned out, it is possible. Psychologists Judith Langlois, Coren Apicella and Steve Shane conducted a number of studies:
- Two photos. In this experiment, experiments were carried out on children: they were shown two photographs of people, where one was more attractive than the other. It turned out that children look longer at an attractive photograph. Another study, similar in meaning, was conducted at the University of Delaware. There, researchers found that infants looked more readily at members of their own race. At the same time, scientists clarify that the children included in the experiment already had experience communicating with faces.
- Favorites of the Hadza tribe. The Hadza are a tribe of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania. They were chosen because they are free from stereotypes and European concepts of beauty are alien to them. In the experiment, they were shown photographs of five British faces and five Hadza faces. As a result, the Aborigines chose only their relatives, while the British, selected for the same experiment, chose both the Hadza and Europeans.
We conclude: biology and environment (stereotypes) work together because they shape our values and attitudes in the same way.
Postcards in the form of pictures with the inscription Happy Beauty Day
You can find many options for themed cards online. There are templates with ready-made inscriptions, but you can always choose the image you like and write congratulations in the editor. On World Beauty Day, it is customary to send pictures to each other in emails.
Manicurists – March 24
An unofficial holiday, but more common than Beautiful Look Day. Manicurists are already accustomed to celebrating their professional holiday on March 24 and every year they gladly accept congratulations from clients, colleagues and friends.
The Russian President also said that March 24 is the day of the manicurist during his speech on May 16, 2018.
