Celebrities and Photoshop "Beauty"

Erwin and I discussed teen magazines in one of our recent podcast episodes.  I reminded our female audience members not to compare themselves to American celebrities (see also: Brown is Beautiful).

Here’s something you may not know:  most celebrities only release edited (retouched) photos to the public.  I didn’t realize just how common the practice is before I watched this video.

There are similar examples here in the Philippines.

Just remember that much of what you see in magazines is an illusion.
