What is beauty in Colombia?
In Colombia, beauty is all about a curvy body and voluptuous features.
In Colombia, beauty is defined in similar ways to the US. Women look up to celebrities and follow the guidelines of society set by social media, magazines, and movies/TV shows just like in the United States. In Colombia, body shape is very important, more so than fashion and makeup. Women tend to eat healthier and exercise more frequently to obtain this body. The ideal Colombian female body is actually much different than the ideal American woman body. In Colombia, women strive to have a big bottom, big hips, big lips, thick thighs, and big hair. In Colombia, it is "pretty" to be thick and full, unlike the US where it is ideal to be skinny in most places besides your bottom and breasts. Another major difference between Colombian women and American women is that Colombian women tend to go for the natural look. Since big hair is in style, they mostly wear their hair natural and curly. Makeup is not nearly as big a phenomenon in Colombia as it is in the US. Colombian women wear much less makeup.
Shakira is the ideal Colombian beauty. This is Shakira's natural hair, which is big and curly. She also has big lips and relatively tan skin. Shakira tends do wear more natural-looking makeup, as well.

Sofia Vergara is Colombian, but since she lives in the US, her looks now fall under the American idea of beauty more so than the Colombian idea of it. She wears lots of makeup, has straightened hair, and has a big bust and bottom while maintaing a small waist, arms, and legs.
