The Eva Longoria touch up was insane... they fattened her up with curves on the upper arm and hip areas... the opposite of a "normal" airbrush session.
In the last section of the video there are some really lovely photos of people. After the "treatment" they look awful. I don't know whose idea of glamour that is, but it is peculiar to the US. Most other people in the world would prefer the "before" photos. I just don't understand this american idea of what is beautiful - particularly the little pagent girls. Creepy.
Well hell, most of the natural pictures were beautiful so I thought they were shopped. I mean, come on. The actual shopped ones looked like shit. Why do we do it??
I was a photographic retoucher for years. If you've ever had a professional photographer shoot your wedding, your pictures were retouched. Do you really believe you looked that good on your wedding day? Or how about your kids senior pictures? Seriously people! Most of the pictures shown above were just color corrected and skin smoothed which is totally normal. And the doll look, that's what the parents of pageant kids ask for. THAT is stupid, but it's just what they do.
In a career where your paycheck depends on your appearance, I think it's arrogant for people to say that they shouldn't be doing this. You're the ones buying the movies and the magazines and the photos of pretty photoshopped girl. It's been proven again and again in studies that looks DO matter to people, even if they don't think they don't. When's the last time you looked at a fat girl with scars and bad acne and thought 'I'd like to see her star in a hollywood blockbuster with a sex scene?'
3:43, is it me or did the boobs get smaller? Oh well, maybe because they only sell 3 different bras in the boob job size in the shop it advertizing; does that make the image more or less realistic?
@BarbHullett Because Kelly is my idol and when I say she's gorgeous, it's because of her amazing gift and how she can touch people on the other side of the world and back- and NOT because of how much fat she has on her
This is so silly. Everyone retouches. I know i always touch up my pictures before I put them up. It's a common practice for ANYONE smart enough to run a computer.
What is the whole point of hiding the undeniable people will see you in the street and be like : whoa is that who I think it is? We have hd tvs people everything is blueray we can see your enlarge pores and zits.
I can understand wanting to fix the coloring and maybe getting rid of a few fly away hairs and zits. But some of these look like two totally different people! Whats so bad about being curvy and having freckles? :/
'I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not'. Hollywood could learn that little bit of wisdom and quick too. Young girls are looking at these fake people and striving for the impossible. Being real is not as scary as society thinks it is, trust me. ;)
Just sad that someone gets paid to push and peddle these lies and more than half of us help pay their wage.
who is beautiful ??? IAMMMMMMM !!! Because i look beautiful without make up or any another stuff like that, presented here.But i liked your video because people need to understand we are not GODESS !!!! We are humans !!!!
Aw, Kelly was so cute. :( I hate when they retouch these people! They look great already. Perfection sucks, and only people who aren't real inside don't want to look real on the outside.
:36 is highly disturbing. Does that actually say "thinner" on the butt?? And christ, if Eva Longoria's figure needs editing, that's bad news for the rest of us! Thankfully I surround myself with smart men who all knowledge that photoshopping is ridiculous and natural beauty is key!
the future is looking sad, I see so many people lately looking so fake in their photos, trying to be these photoshopped images that are not even real. Looking like your natural self is beautiful to me, not this facade people are putting on.
I don't know why they even bother with real people anymore - why not just create faces in photoshop and be done with it? It's going to happen sooner or later anyway ...
@Kalleesto Some editors will do exactly that. They'll take different parts of different woman and make a 'perfect' face or body with them, and no one can even tell the difference.
@Kalleesto Well, H&M kinda did, but reverse, as they Created bodies for all their online clothes and just Photoshop in already retouched faces of real models :P
@Kalleesto there's already been a case where they created completely fake and computerized bodies and just put the heads or real people on them. It's terrible.
@Kalleesto OH COME ON! putting this out there now, if you have self esteem isues some ones going to effect you at some point not to mention there are just plainly beautiful pictures and have you ever thought its like us-say u didnt get sleep one night, would you want your face on the cover of thousands of magazines with bags under your eyes-MODELS ARE PEOPLE TOO . and trust me i'm not one of them.
Entertainment is a business and like all businesses it's about the bottom line making that money. What ever your product is that's what you are going to enhance, be it body, clothes or machanics you will make the product look so good that the consumer will do anything to possesse it. Any body with half a brain knows that there is no perfect person or look. Our perception of perfect is something unattainable but real beauty lies in the heart. God says we are wonderfully and fearfully made.
retouching photos will never stop. Yes it is sad that our youth see skinny and beauty only as defined in the media, but eventually they will learn that the media is just showing what it's supposed to show. You can choose to let it influence you or not. Whether things are retouched or not (tv isn't retouched but we still are influenced by it) there will always be things out there that bend the youth's minds. As adults, it's our responsibility to teach them what to really be influenced on.
It's only teens and early twenties who have such bodies and skin - if only women (yes, especially women) realised that you can look so much better if you eat properly (not faddily but properly) and just exercise - we have too many calls our time, too much stress in our lives - back to basics is the way to go :)
im a model, and i quit. for these reasons. i didnt wanna look fake anymore, i wanted to be real. I felt as if i was walking around fake advertising myself.. when the real me is beautiful without phtoshop..without the extra makeup.. Im not a barbie. im human. and i have flaws. My flaws is what makes me perfect in my own way, (:
want reality? then look at real life. agazine models are supposed to look good, look around you most people dont look that good. dont blame the media for your self esteem issues
The one of Penelope Cruz...damn she was way better looking in the unaltered version lol. Actually pretty all of them looked better in the before...the after pictures just looked plastic and alien.
Either way, I don't even read those kinds of magazines LOL.
Jon Voight & Robert DeNiro are 2 actors who have vowed that they will never get any kind of plastic surgery. Voight said, "they'll just have to hire me for old guy roles." I'm sure there are other actors but those are 2 I am sure of.
There are actually plenty of people that look like those in magazines. If you eat healthy and know beauty techniques and correct products, yes, you can look like this. Walk around the mall a few times or go out for nightlife. You might see more people looking like this than not.
@JamaicanRain That's positively ridiculous. A 'health routine' isn't going to save everyone from natural tendancies and genetic predispositions. Eating right isn't going to get rid of pimples caused by . . . say a genetic condition. I would love you to say to a person with facial deformity, "You could look like the pretty people in the magazines if you just ate healthy, exercised, walked around the club, or got out more." What a horribly, generalized statement you have made.
@irkofan Those pimples can be covered if you know correct techniques and if you have a facial deformity you do what you can--you can still look like those in the magazines. If you know a person you may generally look past their facial deformity.
I think people over react to this kinda stuff. Everyone knows that most pictures in a magazine are edited, some aren't but most are. Also I really don't believe that in a lot of cases it's the actor asking for the retouching! I think they go an do their job at the shoot and then the people at the magazine are responsible for everything else and the actor doesn't know anything about the editing that's going on.
thank you for making this video, I think my strive for perfected beauty comes from ads like these. Such self hatred whenever I look in the mirror, all because I didn't look like 'that girl' from the Vogue magazine. Media and fashion only takes pictures of a certain type of girl. We see these type of girls which only make 3% of population, yet 3% of these girls are on ALL the top magazines...sigh. thank you, i'll try to love myself than hating myself to buy more products.
holy crap. i am a commercial artist. there is nothing wrong with retouching, its not about being fake or setting a fake example of perfection, its art. retouching isnt FAKE its a form of art. Its all about opinion, btu what i find funny is that all these people are saying how EVERYONE tries to be perfect and mathc their example of the perfection displayed before us, yet 90% of these comments are saying that exact thing and how THEY are unique because they arnt like that
@elmerfudd4516 its art in its own right. im not even going to argue it, it may give young teens a flawed view of perfection, but thats all perception, the art itself is beautiful
more beautiful then before at that. it takes alot of skill and work, and is done very well. the people who cant see that are naive.
@0101010101010101ful no, the models know theyre beautiful inside and out, but madonna for example, would be MORTIFIED if a photo of herself was put out without retouching, not because she thinks shes not beautiful, but because she knows that a very talented artist could retouch her photo, enhance lighting, define clarity, and much more, and make the photo outstanding.
@graceluvsyu There's nothing wrong with the art of retouching. What is wrong is how people percieve and press their views on other people. It's a touchy subject with some people, but everything seems to fall into that category anymore.
before you jump on the band wagon preaching against photo retouching, take a minute and realize that you idiot consumers won't buy a magazine with a "flawed celebrity" on the cover.
@M72305 exactly! and its all about perception, the photos may give young teens a flawed view of perfection, but thats all about the way the reader views it. its beauty in its own right and should be respected.
How can they make someone NOT have cheekbones? I like the untouched pictures FAR better. Real people with character and actual defining features not freakin' mannequins.
Example: Cameron Diaz has those sexy curves heading towards her vajayjay.. and then she got hit with a photoshop.. what clueless cockholster "touched" these pics up..
Fuck the industry, those small "imperfections" some of those women have, that they "alter", make me drool. On a lighter note, I guess this makes it easy to sort out who is in control. Then again, whoever is in a position to do something about it are fucking retarded as well.
Holy chirst i fucking HATE the new youtube, everything is so fuking slow. ive been waiting a half hr and this still wont play. instead of changing the way it looks make it faster OH MYY GODDD
CHEMICAL PEELS? Are you comparing CHEMICAL PEELS (a non invasive chemical EXFOLIATION process used to PREVENT aging) to GETTING A NEW FUCKING NOSE?! You're an imbecile. Stop talking. No. No, I don't even fucking care. If artist renderings of women are acceptable, stop complaining about photoshop in a fucking PICTURE BOOK! Maybe if parents were more present in their children's lives and gave them a real image to live up to, people wouldn't be so fucking uptight about magazines.
I thought all the people on the photos were just as gorgeous before- I mean, why would the likes of Eva Longoria and Kathrine Heigl even need retouching!? They have stunning faces. Good video.
If someone walks around looking like they do on magazines then people would think they are freaks with their waxy super smooth skin, no facial shadows, no wrinkles, blindingly white teeth and their color oversaturation.
We need actors and actresses to specifically make a stand against the touchups. It would take big hairy un-photoshopped balls to make a stand, but people would respect them for being slightly more real.
@108Dax pictures are for looking at beauty (like art) and not to set and example or to make you feel bad about eating potato chips every night and taking the car iso bike. Do people wine about picasso being unrealistic? Come on!! Btw most celebs look good during concerts and interview too, its not like they dont work for it.
@Nimfex If the pictures are to be looked at (like art) then there should be a disclaimer in the magazine "This photo might not be a true representation of the subject's appearance". Picasso is art so it is accepted as a stylized expression of a subject. Photos that have been altered should then be labeled as such. There is a big difference in appearance from conventional makeup for live acts and photo post-production.
@108Dax It's common knowledge really. Just look at the amount of vids online like this one. People should assume that the pic is not real iso the magazines have to disclaim everything. Who on earth buys expensive glossys to look at normal people?? That's the whole reason why celebs try to look perfect, because that's what people wanna see.
You know its the stars on these covers who should be the ones saying NO, that is NOT what I look like, do not alter my image, they need to set a precedence and show the world and the kids etc what reality is!
@willowbranwen You know I was thinking the same thing. If I were a celebrity I wouldnt want ppl atlering my photos. However, I dont think saying that is going to do it . You cant say to a photographer of a magazine "Hey you better not photoshop my pictures". I mean, what are ppl to do. There needs to be a change but I'm not sure one person can do it alone. Everyone needs to join in
Something I can't stand about this new inner beauty anthem is that it seems to give arrogance to the non-attractive girls that they feel entitled to dismiss the pretty girls on the note that "oh Im more beautiful on the inside". Ive noticed this feeling that the ugly girls now expect to be beautiful because they have such a 'nice' personality when that is not true. If they want to be pretty they should have to work just as hard as the other girls, not do nothing and expect to be deemed 'pretty"
When people think they are ugly, it's not because of peers or anyone else (directly, at least). It's the media, who tell us what beautiful MEANS. You must have flawless skin and be super-skinny like the girls in our magazines, they imply. They have created the definition of beauty and it's unrealistic.
Okay, I understand the whole "media insecurity" thingamagig, but to be quite honest, I don't ever really feel insecure from girls in magazines. I am quite happy with my looks, and if for any reason I was to feel insecure, it would be from girls I see in real life.
sometimes i look in the mirror and help but feel insecure (girls) you are beautiful, stop the body hate!! A picture can say a thousand words, and can also be totally fake!!! love your body! <3
YOU are the cause of our children having low self-esteem, you are the cause of anorexia, depression, bullying, even suicide!!! You are the cause of young girls never thinking they're pretty enough. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY. i would like to see a TRUE beautiful. happy, smiling girl on the cover of a magazine. Not fake "beauty".
Meh... people that use examples such as these to highlight society's 'distorted' view of beauty are the same people judging celebrities and/or models as being fat or old whenever magazines publish unflattering photos of 'stars without makeup'. It's a vicious cycle and it's hypocritical. The only thing that this shows me, as a retouch artist and photo restorationist, is that there are too many lazy photographers and stylists relying on the efforts of retouch artists to cover up their shoddy work.
@ColliCub Stop being victims, and make your own informed judgements about what 'beauty' really is. And if you think this is new fad, you couldn't be more wrong. Retouching photos has existed since the beginnings of photography... nowadays, it's just easier.
I myself go through a phase in which I distort my complete body image for at least 3 tiems a month. I make myself believe that I'm ugly, fat, unattractive, and average looking. I know what photoshop can do to pictures and I know that 99.9% of magazine and celebrity pictures are completely digitally enhanced but it still doesn't make me feel any better. It's like drilled into my brain that such beauty is possible. Knowing it is not. I feel like a slacker and fat ass most of the time.
Not only girls should be watching this, but also the guys who keep thinking their favorite celebrities are flawless while their own girlfriends have oh so many imperfections! Be it just to stop the "oh but SHE looks perfect even without makeup!" NO! She's had hours of getting makeup and hair done and THEN she was photoshopped!!!
there were models who were way too skinny on victoria's secret runway, and one of them had really weird skinny looking thighs but i still thought "well she's still pretty enough to be a model"
i realise now that was brainwashing i guess.
i think if you're unhappy and want bigger boobs or to get rid of that bump in your nose you should do it to make yourself feel better, but not to the extent hollywood pressures it's actresses. except megan fox, i hope that brat fucks herself up.
so what everyone knows that mag retouch pics....if you look at the before pics on this, and you see the ppl live in tv or in person they look better then pics anyone they dont need retouching in real life its just the way the cam makes them look...and of course makeup helps no one is perfect but its nice to see someone look it
I think its sad that some people ''wants'' to be ''that'', or people who thinks ''that'' is beautiful,,, it IS beautiful, but in real life it's all FAKE , and also, some young teenagers wants to .''Be'' THAT, but when they'll realize that thats all artifical and FULL of Bullsh*t, some of them will not care anymore. :)
Making skinny models look skinnier is really disturbing - I have 2 daughters and my 8 year old has started skimping on butter as a mate told her she might put weight on - I have always tried to adopt a healthy approach to eating - it turns out her friend has a mother who is constantly dieting which explains all. As long as media is alive and well we will continue to suffer this bullshit - Really informative vid, thanks - I will show it to my kids.
Naturally beauty has never existed and will never exist, so how can our perception of beauty be distorted? It is fashionably to say that our perception of beauty is distorted, but infact it's not! Beauty has always been out of reach, beauty is an idealisation and therefore unnatural. The media portrays perfect human beings, society now likes to label this as immoral and blame advertising for making women insecure. The campaign of Dove makes me vomit, sick to my stomach, very very HYPOCRITE!!!!
AWESOME as a woman, I myself have certainly struggled with my body image over the years. I am never thin enough, at 112lbs I still hate my body. This is very refreshing! It actually makes me feel a little more normal to have the body God has given me. Thanks (and no worries I also know I am silly to think the way I do and I am not abusing my body as I get older I am starting to like it more.)
3:58 they look like barbies!!!! omg!! seriously people!! is this what we're going to do from now on huh? photoshop KIDS!!?? yeah they look SO old without photoshopping..and their bodies are totally wrong shape...NO WAY!!!
editing picture is not bad at all. People are blow it way out of proportion and blame it for lowering girls self-esteem. In my opinion those girls should stop being ignorant and know that of course those pictures are messed with. No one is that perfect. I mean its common sense. Plus Retouching is a job and can be a form of art. People need to chill out and educate themselves, As for the girls who are affected by it, do some research and open your eyes.
you don't even know what it takes to be a really good retoucher. it's not just about "waving a magic brush" and suddenly making everyone look good. a lot of time and effort goes in to this. you need to know about the human body, all the retouching tools. then you ignorant and naive fools who are just looking for someone to blame when that $50 make-up you bought doesn't make you perfect come. guess what? its called BUSINESS. its not supposed to make you feel good. its supposed to sell.
its amazing because in magazines all models, no matter how stunning their figures are naturally, are retouched to the point its not even their body anymore. All the proportions are changed, even on the faces.
The industry has gone from getting rid of small imperfections (i.e. getting rid of spots/moles) to completely changing the female form. It's really sad because what we look at now isn't even reality :(
I see nothing wrong with enhancing the color of the photo but completely retouching the picture is stupid!

It's only teens and early twenties who have such bodies and skin - if only women (yes, especially women) realised that you can look so much better if you eat properly (not faddily but properly) and just exercise - we have too many calls our time, too much stress in our lives - back to basics is the way to go :)

There are actually plenty of people that look like those in magazines. If you eat healthy and know beauty techniques and correct products, yes, you can look like this. Walk around the mall a few times or go out for nightlife. You might see more people looking like this than not.
JamaicanRain 2 months ago
@JamaicanRain That's positively ridiculous. A 'health routine' isn't going to save everyone from natural tendancies and genetic predispositions. Eating right isn't going to get rid of pimples caused by . . . say a genetic condition. I would love you to say to a person with facial deformity, "You could look like the pretty people in the magazines if you just ate healthy, exercised, walked around the club, or got out more." What a horribly, generalized statement you have made.
irkofan 2 months ago
@irkofan Those pimples can be covered if you know correct techniques and if you have a facial deformity you do what you can--you can still look like those in the magazines. If you know a person you may generally look past their facial deformity.

I think people over react to this kinda stuff. Everyone knows that most pictures in a magazine are edited, some aren't but most are. Also I really don't believe that in a lot of cases it's the actor asking for the retouching! I think they go an do their job at the shoot and then the people at the magazine are responsible for everything else and the actor doesn't know anything about the editing that's going on.

thank you for making this video, I think my strive for perfected beauty comes from ads like these. Such self hatred whenever I look in the mirror, all because I didn't look like 'that girl' from the Vogue magazine. Media and fashion only takes pictures of a certain type of girl. We see these type of girls which only make 3% of population, yet 3% of these girls are on ALL the top magazines...sigh. thank you, i'll try to love myself than hating myself to buy more products.

Its all about opinion, btu what i find funny is that all these people are saying how EVERYONE tries to be perfect and mathc their example of the perfection displayed before us, yet 90% of these comments are saying that exact thing and how THEY are unique because they arnt like that

If someone walks around looking like they do on magazines then people would think they are freaks with their waxy super smooth skin, no facial shadows, no wrinkles, blindingly white teeth and their color oversaturation.
We need actors and actresses to specifically make a stand against the touchups. It would take big hairy un-photoshopped balls to make a stand, but people would respect them for being slightly more real.

@108Dax pictures are for looking at beauty (like art) and not to set and example or to make you feel bad about eating potato chips every night and taking the car iso bike. Do people wine about picasso being unrealistic? Come on!! Btw most celebs look good during concerts and interview too, its not like they dont work for it.
Nimfex 1 month ago
@Nimfex If the pictures are to be looked at (like art) then there should be a disclaimer in the magazine "This photo might not be a true representation of the subject's appearance". Picasso is art so it is accepted as a stylized expression of a subject. Photos that have been altered should then be labeled as such. There is a big difference in appearance from conventional makeup for live acts and photo post-production.
108Dax 1 month ago
@108Dax It's common knowledge really. Just look at the amount of vids online like this one. People should assume that the pic is not real iso the magazines have to disclaim everything. Who on earth buys expensive glossys to look at normal people?? That's the whole reason why celebs try to look perfect, because that's what people wanna see.

Something I can't stand about this new inner beauty anthem is that it seems to give arrogance to the non-attractive girls that they feel entitled to dismiss the pretty girls on the note that "oh Im more beautiful on the inside". Ive noticed this feeling that the ugly girls now expect to be beautiful because they have such a 'nice' personality when that is not true. If they want to be pretty they should have to work just as hard as the other girls, not do nothing and expect to be deemed 'pretty"

When people think they are ugly, it's not because of peers or anyone else (directly, at least). It's the media, who tell us what beautiful MEANS. You must have flawless skin and be super-skinny like the girls in our magazines, they imply. They have created the definition of beauty and it's unrealistic.

Meh... people that use examples such as these to highlight society's 'distorted' view of beauty are the same people judging celebrities and/or models as being fat or old whenever magazines publish unflattering photos of 'stars without makeup'. It's a vicious cycle and it's hypocritical. The only thing that this shows me, as a retouch artist and photo restorationist, is that there are too many lazy photographers and stylists relying on the efforts of retouch artists to cover up their shoddy work.

I myself go through a phase in which I distort my complete body image for at least 3 tiems a month. I make myself believe that I'm ugly, fat, unattractive, and average looking. I know what photoshop can do to pictures and I know that 99.9% of magazine and celebrity pictures are completely digitally enhanced but it still doesn't make me feel any better. It's like drilled into my brain that such beauty is possible. Knowing it is not. I feel like a slacker and fat ass most of the time.

Naturally beauty has never existed and will never exist, so how can our perception of beauty be distorted? It is fashionably to say that our perception of beauty is distorted, but infact it's not! Beauty has always been out of reach, beauty is an idealisation and therefore unnatural. The media portrays perfect human beings, society now likes to label this as immoral and blame advertising for making women insecure. The campaign of Dove makes me vomit, sick to my stomach, very very HYPOCRITE!!!!

its amazing because in magazines all models, no matter how stunning their figures are naturally, are retouched to the point its not even their body anymore. All the proportions are changed, even on the faces.
The industry has gone from getting rid of small imperfections (i.e. getting rid of spots/moles) to completely changing the female form. It's really sad because what we look at now isn't even reality :(
