Wow, it’s been a long time! But I hope to be a regular from now on. Okay, so you wonder why the models on the add look impossibly perfect? Please consider this: Models do modelling as a profession. This means they spend thousands of dollars to keep themselves looking their best, just like you spent money to get your education/knowledge/experience for your job. Models have to watch what they are eating all the time since their bodies get them the job. And eating healthy can get more expensive than eating junk. Models have to spend money to be fit- to go to the gym and get personal training. They taking extremely good care of their skin since their faces are their number one advertising tool. This means going to the dermatologist regularly and getting several types of work done on the face.
When it comes to the actual photo shoot/ advertise/ video, they get professional photography (good lighting to make their face/body look great and even better retouching), professional hairstyling, professional makeup and professional wardrobe stylist. So, please stop being so hard on yourselves because what you see in a magazine is fake. Even the models themselves cannot live up to their fake perfection. The message I am trying to get across is that learning to apply beautiful makeup is great. But none should go to the point where they feel uncomfortable without makeup. Because the fact is: none is perfect though sadly the media tries to portrait just that.
