Description
December 2007.I originally shot and edited these photographs in December 2007. I recently re-edited the fifth image in the sequence, so I decided to show them for the first time on DeviantArt now.

Good editing but I think the original is prettier.

While I could say I admire the editing skill, and ask you how you did it, what I want to say most, is that even though she has a fat face that, imho, has no remarkably beautiful features, the only thing that makes it unpleasant to look at, is that piercing. She would be so much prettier without it I think. Women should leave their faces alone. Rant ahead.
I used to wear lots of make-up to hide flaws like redness, dark rings, enlarged pores etc. but it soon became a "must" before leaving the house because once I saw what it could do, I felt ugly without it. Nowadays I hardly use any because you know what I found out about make-up, face piercings and the like? The more you apply, the more they DISTRACT from your face and whatever beauty it has. It's not your face that's made beautiful, it's the decoration. Your face becomes a canvas, but who cares about the canvas more than about the paint that's been slathered all over it? No one. So I think we should show off our wonderful canvas, no paint/metal. Of course, it can serve an artistic purpose or anything but when I go somewhere to meet boys for example, I don't use any temporary decoration because I want the guy to fall for ME and what I NORMALLY look like, no illusion that WILL be ruined at some point. Also, guys don't fuck mascara. They fuck vaginas. Men will tell you the same. It's nice to look at, but not to live with. A guy wants you in his arms, not in front of the mirror.
Because, I look at the girl above, and on the left, my eyes are drawn to the ring (which I think is hideous), so I'll remember her as "ring in the nose like a bull"-girl. The ring says "Angry, butch and trying to draw the attention away from (supposed) flaws by using a foreign object in the center of the face". Right, I see excessive make-up, especially around the eyes. I would remember her not as "pretty girl", but "decent paint job girl" - can that really be the impression we want to leave on people? What we PUT ON ourselves rather than what WE ARE? I would rather have people remember my eyes, rather than what I painted around them. Or my nose rather than a piece of metal I had drilled through it.
Doesn't mean I'm not incredibly concerned about my looks. But what I'm concerned in, is the permanent part. Weight, hair quality, skin quality... The things that are with me 24/7, which are an actual part of me. To me, make-up is foreign objects. Foreign objects aren't ME. My tits are. My nose is. What I put on there, like mascara or a fancy bra, ain't.
That said, even without the make-up I think the girl on the right is prettier. But she isn't real. She isn't the one with stories to tell, the one to hug or be around. It's the girl on the left, and eventhough she's average Jane Doe, she has to do, and as with all average Jane Does, or below-average ones, we should look beyond appearances and appreciate whatever contribution a seemingly plain person can offer. The guys I fell in love with, all turned out to be fugly once my feelings faded and let me see reality. Before that, I thought they put Brad Pitt to shame. My feelings for them created an illusion of beauty, and I think that is what should matter, but doesn't if there are no big feelings involved, and that's sad. Am I makingg sense?
Still, do tell me how you did this
