If you haven’t read this article http://www.stylist.co.uk/beauty/woman-has-her-face-photoshopped-around-the-world-to-prove-theres-no-one-definition-of-beauty#image-rotator-1
or currently follow this amazing project I think it’s time that we all hopped on
the bandwagon.
After reading this article on Stylist Magazine we
immediately followed Esther Honig’s Before and After project.
Esther said that “In the U.S. Photoshop has become a symbol of our society's unobtainable standards for beauty,” We think that is true for the UK also. We are becoming a society where women, especially young women, glorify those glossy magazines with celebs printed on the front cover - and most women (even myself) forget that ALL of the images have been photoshopped!
It's time that we all come together and start making all women aware - you shouldn't feel any less beautiful because you don't look like Lady GaGa or BeyoncĂ©, I'm pretty sure that they didn't wake up with that flawless glossy cover face at 6 am in the morning. Let’s try and be more aware and not swayed by the digitally enhanced version of beauty! You are beautiful the way you are!
Esther says there is 'no one' true definition of
beauty (and we agree), it changes all over the world. Check out her project here! http://www.estherhonig.com/#!before--after-/cvkn

Do you remember this image below? The infamous image that circulated a
while back of Lady GaGa with her before and after shots at the Versace campaign shoot! ...Shocking!
The photo above is not to discredit,
embarrass or slaughter Lady Gaga’s beauty but rather to reveal the truth of how
she looks without enhancements. Hopefully these images will help change the perception of how 'beauty' is perceived by young women across the world.
