#4 Cultural differences in beauty perception (France Japan)

Seeing these pictures, you may have 2 reactions:

1. Make fun of them for not being "that cute" without make-up
2. Admire them for all the efforts they do on a daily basis for the sake of beauty

I lived both in France and Japan so I can tell there's a cultural differences here (I'm talking about my generation).

• In France, beauty should be natural and heavy make-up is prohibited, or people will call you a prostitute. A little bit of mascara and that's it, the rest is up to your attitude.
  BUT: that is quite sad for girls that are not born "that cute" since no matter what they do to improve their appearance, people will still think negatively about them: "oh anyway she is ugly without make-up", "oh anyway she dyes her hair", etc.
  
  In such case, people tend to have reaction 1
  
  
• In Japan, there is no shame to use "tools" to customize an appearance like for a game avatar. One of my friend gets up every day at 5AM for 2 hours of make-up. She has to apply 5 different creams and concealers, facial powder, eye powder, eyebrow powder, check powder, etc. and adds fake lashes and karakon (eye lenses). Light make-up also requires a lot of time.
  BUT: there is so many beauty products that if you don't make the effort like other girls, you will feel out of the group.
  
  In such case, people tend to have reaction 2

What's beauty for you?
Is it closer to the French one?
to the Japanese one
or is it completely different?
