I find all of the adjective to describe the "beautiful" of women because it can describe clearly and fully to each fashion style and theme to portrayed women in fashion-based media.


Analyse the cover of  Asian Woman Magazine

From the cover of Asian Magazine 386, The woman are being portrayed in the fashion-based by the post and body language to present she is cool, looks gorgeous, dazzling and statuesque. The fashion  clothing she wear is bright color to attract people and the glasses, make up she wears in the summer season.

She plays the role of a star and idol. Besides, we can realise that the headline of the magazine includes dating an ugly man ( why stunning women do it ). It represents fashion can make women beauty and it relates to their lifestyle and attitude.

Besides, Asian Magazine highlight the hot ways to look sexy in the sun.  However, as a women normally we will holding an umbrella and wearing clothes that can cover our skin and not to be hot and sexy in the sun. Therefore, it can be seen the difference between women are being portrayed in the magazine. They are too perfect to be portrayed to the audiences.


From the cover of Asian Woman Magazine 32, The cover of the magazine is a women sexy face and allure to the audience. She is playing the roles of an prostitute and porn star. On the cover itself is the big celebrity issue about super star.

The woman is represented in the magazine cover by flirtatious makeup. The eye look foxy and alluring by eyeliner and shadow. The plump lips is the results of fashion lipstick products. They fully look like advertise for sexual products for men.
For this magazine cover, The women are being portrayed in a fashion style look and modelling post. However, it is highlight out the woman Aishwarya Ral wan to marry and have kids. 

Yes, this is a dream for most of the women. "To be marry" and "have kids" she probably need playing  roles of being good mother to take care their family includes husband and kids. Hence, she is suppose to be presented caring and lovely women. However, the fashion style and theme represented her as a sexy and hot women. She look powerful for facial expression, and look like enticing, grand and shapely woman. 

In conclude, fashion-based media does not really portrayed the women relate to everyday ideas and attitudes of women because it can only perform and presence the outer beauty and feeling. It does not show the inner beauty of the women.
