Real Beauty

Wow. I've seen other sites that show before and after shots of models, but this was interesting in how they show the process step-by-step. And the computer work! Part of me would like to see how they could 'improve' my own photo, but then I also see the point. It's hard to say that no improvement is necessary, though!

Wow again, very interesting! What an eye opener in more ways than one!

I personally prefer the natural look - no make up.

I guess I knew that's how it went, but it really does drive the point home.

Yes, it was quite revealing although not surprising.

I also prefer the natural look.

Yes, it does.

I'm glad they're doing that! Now if they could just arrange to have it viewed by every school in the nation, PreK and up, that' would help solve a lot of problems!

Not a bad idea. Too many young (and older) women suffer from image issues trying to meet some imaginary standard. Much better when they (and all of us, men included) accept ourselves as perfectly fine just the way we are.

I didn't know that it went that far. The computer stuff - why use a human being in the first place?
She's a pretty girl without all the "extras." Thanks for the link - I'll pass it around to the young ladies in the family.

Need a human being for a realistic template to start with I guess.

I agree, I thought she was pretty to start with.

Wow. My first thought when she sat down in the makeup chair was, "She's a model?" So far removed from the final model product we've all become familiar with. But she still looks fine!

Then I studied her facial structure and symmetry. That must be what she has going for her. They picked her then they fixed her. Ha.

I agree!

A friend of mine is obsessed with looking so picture-perfect. Only I'm sure that when she's watching TV or looking at the magazine stands she forgets that these women are often fake. My friend looks great, but she spends TOO MUCHE of her thoughts and energy on it. She discusses her looks or someone else's every time I talk to her.

Maybe I'll send her that link.

That's truly sad. Either she is extremely insecure or very conceited. Shame either way.
