Superficial beauty tips
It must be an Asian thing. Because I don’t see a lot of non-Asians doing it, and it must be all due to (Asian) guys liking it this way.
- Enlarge the eyes:
Hold the camera with your hand held up high, keep face relatively straight, no smile but lips slightly open and stare upwards with bulging eyes. You end up looking like anidiotinnocent little angel. - Kill the blemishes and whiten up:
Open your photo in Photoshop. Since you never discovered the Healing Brush Tool, airbrush over your countless bursting pimples and hairy moles. And oops your face is now a terrible blur, but don’t panic. Duplicate the layer, do a lovely Gaussian Blur and set the Blend Mode to “Overlay”. You end up withghastlybeautiful and dreamy. - “Decorate” your plain face:
This is when you get out your Photoshop maple-leaf brush and “spice up” your dead face. Alternatively, draw some sweet hearts and a little crown above your head. Make sure the colour of these decorations clash with your photo so they stand out! Oh look at themonsterumm… princess! - So what happens if you’re still not cute enough?
Retake another photo with your tongue stuck out or lips puckered up. But remember girls, must hold your camera up high!
Sarcasm aside, all these different girls end up looking exactly the same in their photos. When you meet one of them in real life, the contrast between her photo and person now becomes superficial ugliness. Because the truth is, her eyes aren’t that big, her skin isn’t that blemish-free, her face is only as plain as they really are and you can’t expect her to stick her tongue out and pucker up her lips the whole time.
They just killed the whole natural beauty thing. But even unprocessed ancient black-and-white photography managed to preserve my beauty:

That’s what you call big eyes, blemish-free, cute face and most important of all–natural beauty.
Call me jealous for being too lazy to do make-up and Photoshop my face, but I’d much rather spend my money on food and contribute my time to drawing more appealing works of art.
