The idea of feminine beauty has certainly evolved through time and in different cultures.

It seems like it’s at a new low right now. A woman is only appealing if she gets herself up like a hooker?

Sad.

In this case, all the makeup in the world wouldn't help. The ancient lady in question is thick, heavy-boned with small, close-set eyes, a small mouth and somewhat over graced with nose.

"Beauty" as a somewhat subjective value over time, is usually linked to symmetry and proportions and the Mona Lisa is at the far end of that spectrum.

Any number of ancient sculptors had that idea down fairly well, for example, the Venus de Milo..
