i think its edited for the purpose of advertising.. the hairline is completely different from the first photo.. faces with scars cannot be hide even if you use lots lots of cake foundation.. this is just a hoax.. 101%
people wants to look good that is why they go to gym and for girls we go to the salon.. it doesn’t matter if we looks good outside.. we do things bcoz we feel good inside and that will reflects the outside aura.. so do what you want and don’t let this kind of crap let you down.. if this is real? it may look good in the photo but i bet in real? its obviously uneven tone.. unless you afford to have a spray make-up like the one they use in hollywood to cover-up wrinkles of the super star

She is soo ugly but that doesn’t mean you should judge a person by his/her looks.

Totally agree with Dario D.
Just add one thing…
the smile.

The angled shots, escpecially when she’s smiling do alot.

Look at pic 5 – not to bad
Then it gets worse in pic 7 – almost looking angry and the frontal flash Dario mentioned.

And Bethy.
If I see two complete strangers and I’m looking for a date, ofcourse I’m going to walk up the the one that I think looks the hotest, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the other girl.
Just the same as girls walk up to the guy with the biggest chest or fatest wallet first.
“No not me, I’m not like that” – BS. The odd irregularity doesn’t make up for the majority.

Both men and women are shallow, the only differences is that women also prefer money.

the thing is, would any of you guys actually give her a second glance in the first picture? all the time guys say how much they love the natural look, but honestly i can’t see all too many guys going nuts for that first photo. and when people are like that, i don’t blame anyone for wanting to wear makeup.

my boyfriend has a huge crush on ashley greene (alice cullen) because she does the ‘natural look’. i asked him to find me one photo of her without makeup; in the photo that he sent, in which he thought she was completely makeup free, i picked up at least ten different products used to make her look ‘natural’. to men the natural look is still airbrushed, women are taught how to apply makeup to look as if you’re wearing none. if you want girls to wear no makeup stop idolising magazine models and let girls feel comfortable in their own skin.

Makeup isn’t doing 80% of this. (I’m a photographer and fashion guru, btw) It’s:
1 – the gradual introduction of nicer and nicer hair…
2 – less and less sharpened photos (the first 3 photos exaggerate the facial defects by being sharpened in Photoshop. It’s a huge cheap-shot)
3 – the change in lighting toward the end; it switches from frontal-flash (photographers consider frontal flash uglifying, and avoid it at all costs), to “soft”, directional lighting. Another huge cheap-shot.
4 – the better visibility of nicer-looking clothes toward the end, and sudden introduction of good body angles/poses (these contribute to kicking the mind into “the-scene-is-beautiful” mode).

Removing a few wrinkles, and adding a hint of color won’t cause this colossal change. 80% of face beauty is composition (in other words, not makeup).
