These pictures all share the common thread that they have been airbrushed almost past the point of no return, where any normal person looking at any one of these covers thinking these pictures were 'normal' would have one hell of a struggle trying to then copy and achieve the looks that are displayed here. Even some celebrities themselves, Kate Winslet most pointedly out of this bunch, to name a few, have spoken in frank and unapologetic terms just how out of hand airbrushing can become, where the picture no longer resembles the real person.
The video below, which is supported by Beauty Company Dove as part of their ongoing campaign for Real Women, highlights the very essence of what it means to be 'airbrushed' to an absolutely amazing degree.
The video features a normal woman who has mousy brown, flat, dull hair. She has several blemishes on her face and her skintone is uneven. Her eyes are dull and seemingly unresponsive.
During the video however, her face becomes clear, refined, and pore perfected, leaving her skin tone representing almost an alabaster white. Her hair is highlighted, with extensions added in to add volume, extra boost, and a lift, before being styled using curling tongs to create soft, beachy waves. Her eyebrows are arched, and her eyes are whitened and brightened before being made wider. The background light has now turned into harsh strobe light, making her skin iluminous and able to catch the light. Her nose has become more streamlined, and her lips have been transformed into a full, slightly seductive pout, and her facial expression has become more responsive. Her neck is elongated, and 'natural' make up added, with a focus on a smoky eye and a nude neutral lip.
