Celebs without makeup
Women, no matter where they come from, all seem paranoid about looking their best in public… their self-esteem and self-confidence seem to come from overpriced makeup bottles that promise Hollywood looks if “you’re worth it”. Nonesense!

What do you notice?
Well, the first thing you should notice is how plain and to be honest, ugly some big celebrities really are without makeup. Evolutionarily speaking, we where put on this Earth to create the next generation, looks come secondary. If ugly people had more children then beautiful ones, then they would be more plentiful. Sadly, we all come from the same ugly tree! But deeper then that, woman and increasingly men, look at what they see in magazines without realizing how much air-brushing (yes, even in feature films, television series, interviews) occurs to the stars they love. If they see a pimple in a Hollywood movie, do you not think that the director has a few frames of the film fixed up? Notice the shot of Pamela Anderson without makeup? Well, you probably need to view this video a second time the Hollywood vs Real shots seem like they are two different people. Same goes with Courtney Love, Madonna, Penelope Cruise, Leonardo Dicaprio, Jennifer Lopez and to a lesser extreme Gwen Stefani, Renee Zellweger, Britney Spears… etc. It seems that the more famous the celebrity, the more drastic the change from real to fake really is huh?
What does it mean?
Well, celebrities are just as ugly and flawed as the rest of us. Sure, they may look great in that cover shoot but consider they probably had a few months of diet and aggressive personal training done on their bodies before hand. They then sit in their chair for up to 5 hours with a makeup artist THEN a professional photographer (or movie director) with lighting experts (just as important) photograph or film a spot. Hey, if that wasn’t enough, it then goes for post-processing with Adobe Photoshop and/or a host of other software programs to extend, slim and change scale of certain features. The end result, as you saw in the above video, an extremely attractive person is created who doesn’t resemble the real person.
The younger generation
I have (and I hope you as well), known about this for decades… yet, some people are constantly surprised. J Lo really does look rather normal doesn’t she? Imagine if they used her real picture in magazines, do you think the younger generation being pushed makeup, perfume etc would still buy her products? I don’t think so. There we go… we found the motive behind all this, commercial profiteering off the younger generations skewed idealisms that if they buy a product, they can look like their idol that really doesn’t exist! We are all as ugly as the next human, once you get that in your head, internal self-esteem issues begin to disappear don’t they? I hope so… your piggy bank will be happy once you choose to opt out of this fantasy world called beauty.
The Bottom Line
There is more magic in a photograph or movie then you realize… don’t base your idealisms on false pretenses.

Is there any confirmation that those videos from YouTube (of all places, that can’t really be trusted) are legitimate? I wouldn’t even trust images that were cut from a tabloid and scanned on to the net since those could easily just be shots of people who look remotely like a star.
I mean, some of those images do not look like the person in the slightest. I’m not saying that airbrushing doesn’t occur or that the stars don’t put on a little extra weight when they’re between projects but some were a bit too extreme.
Whereas I agree with your reasoning, it seems like some of those shots/frames are a bit dubious.
—————-
Not really, I have looked at the comparisons rather closely, the facial outlines are about the same, what I think doesn’t help is that the pictures are from different times, like that Pamela Anderson shot, I am pretty sure they grabbed a “young” picture of her at her peak and stuck it next to one when she is a few years (at least) older. Bad lighting and maybe reverse airbrushing (to make them look worse) may have made these changes all the more dramatic, no real way of knowing James. Regardless, this stuff is happening and I found these videos to prove my point about how extreme the practice really is.
