According to the mannequins in Harvey Nichols department store in Manchester, waxing your upper lip has taken on a completely different meaning. Rather than removing the hair, you should tease it into the curly points of a silent movie villain. Of course. Cheryl Cole will be relieved to hear this…
This video by Jesse Rosten really kicks the beauty industry in the rubber parts, spelling it out in plain old pixels. With the right software you can digitally revise just about anything. It seems to be quite a serious issue, giving people impossible standards of beauty, but when you get to ‘adjust your race’ you really start to worry. I’d just like to say I’ve never used Photoshop – sorry Fotoshop to make anyone look better. But I might have used it to make them look worse!
Pause the video at 1:00 to compare the model with the image above, which I Photoshopped heavily. Couldn’t resist it. Sorry.
