 Q: Discuss the central idea of "beauty industry".  

Ans:The central idea of the essay is that beauty lies inside and not outside,The inner beauty is real and everlasting which costs nothing.

The writer says that he saw two women who had painted their faces more than enough and did not seem human beings. From a distance, they looked good but when you go dose to them their internal ugliness is reflected on their faces. 

He gives us an example of a Porcelain jar which is beautiful externally but ugly from inside. In the same way, women paint their faces and use various cosmetics to beautify themselves yet they do not look beautiful. The beauty cosmetics sell Tike hot cakes in all over the world. During the 1930 world economic recession the beauty industry was not affected rather it was going to its boom unlike other businesses. It is estimated that American ladies spend on their beauty cosmetics in a year which is more than the annual budget of India. The Europeon ladies come on the second number in spending on beauty cosmetics. One has to spend a lot on beauty products to be beautiful. There are many ways and means to attain beauty like mud bath, paraffin injections and sauvna bath.

 These things require time and money but if we have an ugly internal personality we will have the ugly impression on our face. There are people who do not believe in the use of beauty products yet they are beautiful. They have positive thinking Which is reflected on their faces. Their beauty is permanent. They do not have to spend anything to have such kind of permanent beauty.
The writer gives stress to this kind of beauty. Spiritual emptiness always comes on the surface. In short, the central idea of the essay is that human race can be beautiful in the true sense of a word when it will lead a life of contentment with moderate hopes and wishes.
