I was looking for before and after pictures from the Oscars and came across these celebrity before and after using Photoshop photos. I thought it was an interesting look at what it takes for a person to look "perfect". In almost all cases the before picture was already really, really beautiful but clearly in the eyes of magazine editors, even these gorgeous ladies need work. In all the photos the skin tone has been evened out, wrinkles reduced or erased, skin lightened, makeup darkened, areas highlighted, puffiness reduced, and freckles eliminated. Isn't that crazy? This is what we are comparing ourselves to. It makes me feel much better and more accepting of my dark circles and current uneven skin tone. :)
