I find this one hard to believe. The width of her nose is all different.

To be fair the first photo is crafted to make her look uglier than she is just as much as the second is crafted to flatter her. That's a common technique for before and after photos.

In the left photo she's lit very directionally with specular light, which creates harsh unnatural shadows and emphasises the hollows under her eyes and skin blemishes, her nose is splayed out because she is smiling, which also pushes her cheeks up and adds further emphasis to the hollows under her eyes, and the tone is off so she's a bit too blue. On the RHS she's lit primarily from top left (light from slightly above looks much more natural because that's where the sun normally is) with much more diffuse light (which makes skin look smoother) and a fill light or reflector on the other side, the skin tone is warmer and more natural (which is due to white balance as much as make up) and her mouth is pulled downwards which changes the shape of her nose a bit.

Posing and choice of angle helps as well, one of the others has a wonky face with one eye lower than the other, emphasised in the bad picture by a frontal view under harsh light but in the "good" photo she's tilting her head and it's a 3/4 view so it completely disguises the fact her eyes aren't even level. There are other tricks to hide e.g. an overly strong jaw or a bit of excess weight and so on.

Personally I find it's usually beer that transforms munters into stunners

I actually think this woman looks quite cute:

Agreed. The only one though.

Makeup and lighting can disguise bags under eyes, but can't make them disappear.



Edit - I think she looks prettier before.

Yea what I said will only just about protect a man from jail .....

The CSS in another matter! Ive heard similar cases to those you posted and another circumstance is quite common as well, where a man can be hounded by the CSS, even if he isnt the father, just for being a partner to a single mum for a little while.

It really is that bad, if you go out on the pull.

Nowadays guys are only safe on a one night stand asking to see the girls ID and then making her sign a consent form, how romantic .....

That's what I said at my trial, but it didn't wash with the female judge.

Point is, if a woman wants to deceive you on her age and make you think she is younger or older than she really is, often they will succeed. Some manage to pull it off for months at a time .....

Modern lingo is "jail bait", but you knew that.

teenage girls have been using makeup for decades to get in to clubs and fool people in to thinking they're at least 10 years older than they are ...

Good lighting and photographic skill has a lot to do with it as well, pick peoples best angles, hide some of the asymmetry and blemishes, you can do quite a lot to deming people.

Indeed .... but as I said, have a look on youtube at some things .... Like this annoying girl:

PS: Yes I prefer her without all that slap, but im not like most men out there .... Most would prefer her tarted up.

Anyone who has been out in a pub or club in the past few decades, should know how powerful makeup can be. They transform ugly or plain girls in to stunners and teenage girls have been using makeup for decades to get in to clubs and fool people in to thinking they're at least 10 years older than they are ...

One of those blokes looks like Kevin Costner

Which one?

No it cant, just an illusion.

But that is all that is needed, to lure a potential partner ....

Edit - I think she looks prettier before.

I do in that case as well.

Her skin looks more flawless and her bags have disappeared, but I find her smile in the before picture very cute ....

Rather than going for the flawless barbie, I always like someone a bit cute and more "real" ....

Not at all. All those are from professional makeup artist sites ....

You can go on youtube and see ugly people, slapping on a bit of makeup and transformed in to drop dead gorgeous people.

I think you're confusing make up and photoshop.
