These are rumors that have oft and unfairly plagued celebrities–everyone from Emily B to Beyoncé, and most recently, Nicki Minaj have been accused of going
under the knife or indulging in brightening cream.

It’s a part of the ever-growing issue of meeting an unrealistic standard of beauty, which unfortunately isn’t limited to complexion. We all want to put our best face forward. When you look good, you feel good. The question then becomes, how far would you go for beauty?
