So, 3 hours of profesional make over, with a make up artist, and after all not good enough for advertising. Of course it is art…so bad our 12 – 15 year old daughters are not mature enough to realize it is all editing…
err I don’t like the point b/c its basically saying “no one can look as beautiful as this except with photoshop and makeup so be happy with how u look”
However, you must admit that this girl has really attractive eyes which are so steady and somehow, full of wisdom. So purely CHARISMATIC! Without this soul, Photoshop can do nothing but to creat a moppet.
wats wrong wit aspiring to look better? Not everyone can be a da vinci but that doesnt stop artists from expressing themselves. I think its fine to aspire for something impossible.
Some years back, a girl posed for a billboard campaign in NYC, and became the talk of the town for her stunning beauty. Her problem: she couldn’t make her friends believe it was HER! “It doesn’t look anything like you!” they claimed. That has to say something…
I can see it as an art form, definitely. It takes skill and an artistic eye.
The problem is the effect it’s having on culture, and how that culture can actually harm others.
There’s a big difference between what people “should” be able to figure out, and what they really do.
This is all true, but would you rather see ugly people on ads and magazines?
I see it as an art and people should have enough brains to understand that it’s all makeup and editing.
they didnt need to,
but the media feel that we must be shown nothing but female perfection like this,
i guess so well buy all the makeup, skincare, hair products and god knows what else,
all in an attempt to look as good as women who in reality dont even look that good…
