Are those photoshopped or just made up? Professional makeup can do SO many gorgeous things, but I get really annoyed when people photoshop their photos. It just beats you over the head with the whole "nothing is good enough" idea. Why photoshop something lovely like a makeover into something that is literally unattainable?

ahehehe. i love these.
there are some tricks used in this kind of "before and after" photography though.
the before shots are usually chosen purposely to be unflattering - hair usually pulled back (not always, if it's out it's looking limp and dull), straight on to the camera, poor lighting etc.
the after shots are posed to be more flattering (with better hair as well) and are then photoshopped to make them even better.
still, it does illustrate quite well that good makeup and good camera angle will make a world of difference.

That's what I thought too - take a really really bad "before" pic and a professional "after" pic plus good make-up, dressing and hairstyling skills, and the difference will be even more obvious. And not to forget the computer skills to digitally enhance
But it's still great to watch.

I like pictures like this, not so much to show what makeup can do, because we all know it's more than that, but to demonstrate that everyone can be beautiful. No matter what you look like to start with (barring serious deformity), given the right makeup, lighting, outfit, hair, etc, you too can be gorgeous.

Lol.. I think that's the only drawback - Just imagine how much more self-confidence these women gained after their makeovers, and how much their self-esteem rose n____n

Great results but I think these after photos are after cosmetic surgery, I remember this one from ABC's Extreme Makeover
http://abc.go.com/primetime/extrememakeover/bios/89876.html
And this one is also from the show
http://abc.go.com/primetime/extrememakeover/bios/89906.html
I was hooked on that show, I never knew why they cancelled it; the last thing I remember hearing was that a woman who was promised a makeover & didn't get it & was suing them.
I don't know what happened to the Swan either.
