This is a tough question. Vanity has manifested in human culture for a very, very long time. If its cosmetics, its clothes; anything that will convey status/desirability. We'll learn to look at something else.
To the question about fewer pregnancies... I don't think so. People will be horny either way. We'll just lower our standards
it's true, we beautify with clothes as well but i think that's okay, because we've shown from the nuddy thread that we really do have to clothe ourselves for valid reasons. but we don't need to use eye liner and lip gloss, etc.
what would the money saved from not buying cosmetics be spent on? no perfumes or face packs, that's billions of dollars world wide.
