Description

"Put your make-up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you,
do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don't be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?"

--Try, Colbie Callait


This was a test I wanted to try out, to see just how big of a difference Photoshop can do. The model is a beautiful woman in advance, but on the right? Flawless. She looks more doll-like than human. I already knew that many magazines and such alter models' appearance so much they don't look like themselves anymore, but I never realized the lengths the media goes to do just this.

- Blurred skin for that "pore-less" look
- Removed blemishes
- Arched her eyebrow
- Dodged and burned her eye to give it more "sparkle" and "depth"
- Added tons of makeup
- Painted hair
- Added shadows and highlights to make her cheekbones look smaller
- Added thicker and longer lashes

I guess what inspired me to try this in the first place was listening to Colby Callait's new song, "Try". It's really sad that young women these days are pressured so much into looking like Barbie dolls we all forget what's really important: the inside. I suffer from low self esteem myself and after recent, personal events, my self esteem took a plummet. No one should ever feel like they aren't good enough, just because Photoshop says so.
