I call photoshop on the black woman's before pic. There is no way you can cover up what they are showing on that chin with some make up.

Also for eveyong gagging and coughing, you do realize that the woman you see in Maxim, etc or celeb photo's are all professionally made up and the pics are usually air brushed don't you?

You are wrong. These are not photoshoped. They are from a book called Face Forward by Kevyn Aucoin. He is a fameous make-up artist. God you guys, get over yourselves... women aren't always made up.

Only cuz it's in a book, doesn't mean it's not photoshopped ;) I bet 100$ that a the afro-american lady can't do that herself. And yes, I know that a lot of stuff is airbrushed :)

Kevyn Aucoin is basically the undisputed best make up artist in the world if not the most famous.
He can do that sort of thing without photoshop.
Most people can't.
He is really that good.
He made Ophra look just like diana Ross once on TV. It was amazing.

Further proof of two of my theories.

1) Virtually any woman can be beautiful with a little time and attention to herself. So many women running around look bad because they just stopped caring at some point.

2) The YOUNG men on this forum are a bunch of virgins with an unrealistic view of woman-kind. No woman, I don't care how gorgeous she is, will look that gorgeous all the time, period. My wife is beautiful and wears no make-up except for some lip stick once in a while and she is gorgeous, but when she just wakes up in the morning and her hair is everywhere and she's got lines on her face from the pillowcase folds, she's just average. To those that formed their view of women based on the video game version of Lara Croft, get real and get over yourselves.

Yes, makeup can make you look better, but natural beauty is much better. Wouldn't you rather wake up in the morning and have an angel laying next to you than someone who you thought was really pretty, but is hideious and she runs into the bathroom right away to reapply?

A woman in sweats and a ponytail and a slightly too small t-shirt is a bonus for me.

Reminds me of going to my gf's house when she's still laying in bed. Messed up hair, tight-fitting t-shirt, pajama pants. Perfect even right after waking up :D

Yep.

I know more than any hetero male ought to about make-up because I dated models you have fapped to in the mid 90's.
But, currently I am single and fapping myself, so we are even.

It's obvious some of you guys never been with a real girl.

And yes, it's fake... it's pretty obvious by the name of the pic.

I guess I should be glad that most of the people I know and all of the ones I have gone out with don't use a whole lot of makeup........that's just freaky. Makes me doubt anybody I meet in a bar or club in the future.

Not fake.
I linked the web site of the guy who did the make up.
