Here are two pictures: the first one is the original one; the second is the retouched picture featuring on the cover of Nitro magazine.
On the first picture, the model:
looks older, has a bigger nose, has cellulite, has a yellowish skin, dark circles.
On picture number two, they made her nose smaller, her skin has as a better color, she has no dark circles, her eyes looks better, her hair have more volume and looks nicer, she seems younger, is thinner and has no cellulite.
Nowadays, tons of people dream about pictures from magazines. They want to be as beautiful as these people. We do not realize that no matter how beautiful a model is, new technology such as photoshop is going to be used to make the model look better. No one is physically perfect. Behind a nice picture are hidden magicians such as: the make up artist that tries to embellish and hide imperfections of the model, the hairdresser, the stylist, the photographer.
When you dream about a picture, you should never think that this is reality. A professional make up can change a person into a hot one. Media are creating a world of illusions where we like to be. Superficiality is the king in this place. Media made us obsessed with images and appearance. We want to look like those models, those stars. Media are selling us dream. They want to show beauty, hotness, sexiness. Our world is becoming unreal. How many person these images are influencing. Beauty business is going very well. We think that by over consuming beauty product, we may change who we are. You can also ask for plastic surgery help to access your beauty dream but aren’t you going to become a stranger to your environment. Are your liking for yourself or your appearance. We need to stop to believe all what Media are showing us. We are not ignorant. We need to wake up and stop dreaming. Media send us fake images to make us feel bad about our appearance. We are not in competition with these images. We need to accept who we are and stop this superficiality of society.
