Celebrities: is their beauty real?

When we see celebrities on TV or on the cover of magazines, they look so beautiful and we think ‘I wish I could look and be like them’. The true is that sometimes their beauty is not as real as we think, because they use various methods like Photoshop, a lot of makeup and they do plastic surgeries.

Photoshop

This first method is used in magazines, newspapers and movie posters.
They use this program to hide every single defect of their faces and bodies. The background of the photos (illumination, scenery, etc), the celebrity (body, age sings, makeup, skin, etc), all of this is manipulated in this program to celebrities look good.

Here are some sites with images of the transformations:
