The video begins with the Spanish-American War at the turn of the century, when indigenous women were adorned with tribal tattoos and shell headpieces. After U.S. took control of the country, American trends began to heavily influence Filipino beauty. By the 1920s and ’30s, women were inspired by jazz and the silver screen — glamorous updos with heavy makeup became in vogue until Japanese occupation began during World War II. After the war, the Philippine’s film industry [boomed](http://www.bustle.com/articles/84544-100-years-of-beauty-philippines-shows-us-that-beauty-standards-in-the-us-had-a-tremendous "undefined") and _mestiza_ (half-Filipino half-Caucasian) actresses set the trend for red lips and rosy cheeks. America kept influencing beauty trends throughout the ’60s, with big bouffant hair inspired by Jackie O and Imelda Marcos, the wife of Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos, moving to the hippie style of the ’70s. By the 2000s people turned to Korean music and television for style and beauty trends and long straight hair became popular. As the video fast-forwards to present day, K-pop and American culture still dominate women’s styles with full wavy hair and dark brows. ### PHOTOS: See the Same Woman Photoshopped in Different Countries  Argentina (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Australia (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Bangladesh (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Philippines (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Bulgaria (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Germany (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  India (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Kenya (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  Morocco (left), Original Photo (right) Courtesy of Esther Honig  U.S.A.
