Generational Beauty

I recently came accross this picture of my Mom (all the way to the left) my Grandmother, my Great Grandmother, and my Aunt. I am not quite sure when this picture was taken...maybe in the 60's? It is amazing to me the differences and similarities in beauty from those generations to our so called "Generation X". It seems as if beauty was very demure but my Mother definitely has that sultry look that we see today. She doesn't have smoky eyes and lips that are painted a nude color...my Aunt doesn't have so much blush on that her cheeks look freshly pinched...they rely on their natural charm to shine through! It seems that they were comfortable in their own skin and used their body language to show their sex appeal instead of piling on products...how refreshing!
