Her nose is so different. Is that really just contour??
hmm, her nose looks a lot smaller, nose job possibly?

This is a great concept INdifferent dear! I love the idea of before and afters, it's rather amusing seeing how vast the contrast is with these narcisstics women before and after "infamy." In some cases it's a matter of acquiescing better skills and perfecting their makeup application, BUT- in the majority of instances, it is overuse of Photoshopping apps and lights and filters, and worse, overuse of elective treatments and surgeries.

Tis a shame really, they are no different to those celebs; a bunch of shallow and vain, arrogant and cocky conceited women with an inflated ego. Amrezy is the head honcho of egocentricity.

Thanks!

Totally agree, it's just a facade that's all.

Granted Kim K isn't a beauty guru in the sense we're referring to on this forum but I had to post once I saw these pictures of her

Decent lighting and not too close with the camera

Image

And then we have terrible lighting and somebody zoomed in too far on purpose it seems

Image

Maybe I'm late in seeing this but I passed these pictures by and thought holymolybatman

While I like a lot of these gurus, I appreciate this forum. All of these photos make me feel so much better about myself lol. I see all of these girls and wonder how they could POSSIBLY look that good, and now see that it's not real. Thank you.

This thread needs to continue.
I think it really is amazing to see what their skin REALLY looks like. I always wonder what it looks like in person. You cant filter the shit out of yourself in person.... :rofl:

Kayleigh from foreveryours:

ELF probably filtered and edited her photo. But her skin looks super fake. Image

Her skin isn't the worst; I'd say it's pretty standard. Some red spots; pores, tone. I darkened a little so the flaws could be seen better. I've watched her long enough to know her skin is not like that in the ELF photo.

Can people just stop trying to trick us into thinking their skin is doll like? I've seen some beauty vloggers who do have lovely skin but there aren't many.

And this is how we end up spending lots of money on foundation/concealer. It has always been so frustrating for me seeing them turn into living dolls. I bought the foundation they recommended, the beauty blender, the brushes, but in the end my face wasn't as smooth and perfect as theirs. I even took makeup classes for God's sake! My teacher told us that there's no such thing as perfection. And that real makeup doesn't look like commercial/instagram makeup.
It's so sad that many of them say "embrace your inner beauty", "you are beautiful just the way you are" and then, they go on editing and adding tons of filters.

Mia stammer aka Mamamiamakeup is one.
I totally agree with the above comments, a lot of these beauty gurus are hypocrites. They try so hard into making everyone believe their skin is perfect but they can only hide so much.

I really appreciated when Kaushal Beauty showed a close up of her skin to remind people she isn't poreless
I can't remember which video it is but it really helps me remember that alot of it is their lighting and camera.

They have cameras with the soft focus effect they makes their skin look more flawless. It's quit irritating because I find it really hard to believe they all have wrinkle free, blemish free, pore less skin. I watch whatwouldlizzydo (sp?) and her facial skin is actually pretty nice. And I think she returned a camera, recently, because she said it made her look too fake and she didn't like that. I have large pores and it's discouraging watching these ladies when they make it seem their skin is super flawless. Like no. You're not plastic. Well some are! Or they photoshop take shit out of their pics.

Exactly! I've spent so much money trying to find my holy grail non creasing concealer when it just doesn't exist. These over filtered images hurt the real women's self esteem more than people admit. Have you seen that episode of South Park about the photoshopped images?

A bunch of acne videos keep coming up in my feed. I saw this chick: ImageImage

What I wonder is how do they look in person after makeup is applied? I've had bad pimples I've had to disguise and in person they still look awful. Like it looks like I'm trying to hide a major pimple! So o don't get how they can go from pimple city bumpy face to flawless. There's no way their skin looks smooth and flawless in person.

okay so I dunno why but I never thought about the filter in videos. I mean yeah I knew it when it was obvious but Ive never been able to detect a subtle filter & was always in awee of their wonderful skin & looks. This opened my eyes a LOTT LOL

I dunno if you all know about this site called http://celebrityclose-up.com/ ? Its basically just close ups of celebrities we ALL thought looked flawless.. I hate to say it but it definitely made me love my skin lol these people have major problems. ughh ..

I don't think the look too caked up. It's obvious they're wearing makeup but it's not like I look at them and think omg how much foundation did she pile on?! Lol they still look like themselves without makeup. Then we have these gurus who legit put a mask on every day that you could scrape off with a trowel a la Jaclyn Hill. I'll take these cake faces over here hands down lmao
