The Power of Makeup

Just showed those pics to my hunny and my daughter. Both initially thought there must have been surgery involved. A closer look says nope. Some dental work maybe, but I don't think they've had anything permanently altered. It's all make-up and hair do overs.
I want one too!

I had my hair and makeup professionally done for work on the promotional circuit for the movie White Noise. It was amazing. And I've had glamor shots done...would love to find another one of those deals. For about $100 you get your hair and makeup and several wardrobe changes. Then of course you can buy the pics. Do they do that in Canada? Or was it just a passing fad from the 90's?
Anything for money. You want it, you got it. Bring your gold card though.

I don't think I want one $500 worth! The ones we had down home were done in a hotel room and were only headshots. Of course if I actually looked like the girls in that portfolio I might WANT expensive photos!
Most of the girls were not bad-looking, it's just that they didn't take slightest trouble to make themselves look good. I detest this kind of laziness in women. We are supposed to be beautiful, because we are supposed to be beautiful. Or at least good-looking. It takes some trouble to achieve it, but once you get used to taking care of your appearance, it's not hard at all. Plain laziness lead them to looking like they did on the "before" pictures.
I don't know about plane laziness but there is a lot of extra work that's gone into making them look more like people at their best. Lighting plays a role along with where they taking the pictures.
I think it's just the unrealistic measure we foist upon women and more often now men too, of what is considered beautiful. I don't think it's any wonder why some kids who just don't have the thousands of dollars to spend on professional make up, hair and a good photoshop artist each year.

Is that a real transformation or just another trick being played on people like the photos of skinny models that circulated last year throughout the Internet?
I think the beauty was always there Goph, just needed some assistance so others could see it.......
If it's a trick, it's a good'un.

There's no question in my mind that beauty is innate and with a little help can be expressed outwardly as in those photos. I was just wondering if they were the same girls but it wouldn't surprise me too much if it was true. 
I've seen some transformations in truly depressed and battered women
They spend some time in getting assessed and counselled by a makeover person - and during the process of becoming beautiful in their presentations, their inner being also feels a renewed confidence and a lifting of the personal mood.
Makeovers are truly a wonderful path for a woman to follow as long as attention is paid to her self worth. It's a total package that works.
A woman's appearance is often the first thing to go if she is in trouble - financially, personally, mentally, and all the other reasons we realize we are alone in a sea of mud.

Agree with you, Curio. A change in appearance is just a reflection of an inner change. The scope of one depends on the scope of the other.
Oh yes, if make up can transform women like that, then a little transformation on men could only help matters. The make up seems to move the cheek highlights up a bit, cover up any marks like freckles, make the eyes sparkle and, generally speaking, take a number of years off women. Why shouldn't men take a few years off so women appreciate them a bit more too?
