I'm not sure if you're joking or not (it did make me chuckle), but as dystopian as it sounds, I would prefer to live in a world where everyone is beautiful, since it would eliminate barriers for less attractive folks, and eliminate advantages for the more attractive ones. Of course, if we do ever learn how to change our physical appearance with genetics, the fashion industry will just change the definition of "beautiful" every five years anyway.

I was half-joking, but you do have a point. Nothing guarantees the standards of beauty will remain the same.

A lot of the factors have been very stable for a long time and are unlikely to change too much, e.g. symmetry, hair and skin in good condition, etc.
