Women are constantly bombarded with the idea that in order to be happy you must first look acceptable, that beauty and happiness live simultaneously together and a disruption of one leads to the limitation of the other. In Western culture, from an early age young girls are influenced by family members, the media and friends to wear makeup and get rid of body hair. It is abnormal if you are a woman to not wear makeup, in order to be 'normal' you must conform to society by changing the way you look every morning, usually starting as an early teenager. From this young age women are made to feel unworthy for public view unless they are 'ready'.
