I felt like a lot of these were photoshopped. No?

Notice how all of the 'before' photos are deliberately taken with no makeup, unflattering angles, poor lighting, no smiles, etc. then the 'after' pictures don't just have a new hairstyle, but also significant makeup (and possible photoshop), as well as professional quality photos specifically arranged to maximize positive attributes and minimize negative? All of these are totally deceptive. Another creation of the beauty industry trying to shame people for not meeting arbitrary and superficial standards for looks.

And all this only distorts the real average of how women actually looks like, making every women in the world feeling uncomfortable about her appearance no matter how beautiful she actually is and giving little girls the dooming pressure to hide her actual face behind a mask. How about you celebrate their actual beauty and help them feel comfortable without putting on a fake face?

Photoshopped 100%. The new “teeth” are pasted over the old ones, for example.

What about celebrating the character? Most of them wiped away any personality and left what we see on every magazin and city store. New teeth will always make people look better (confidence in smiling, instantly makes you look pleasant) Heavy makeup is great and all, but a lot of the industries you work it is not allowed to wear makeup, also a lot cannot handle this much make up daily before work/children and it's BLOODY expensive to support this fashion. Refresh the hair, clean face, rested eyes, smiling beats every single makeup tutorial. Stop worrying about what others see, and concentrate how amazing you are to yourself. I have scars in my face, multiple, I had a fun childhood so to speak, I was worried in teens but now I just don't have any skin routine, if you want me to wear makeup pay for it and include it in my contract! You can't because it is illegal

The joy these women feel when they see themselves in the mirror is very great. I'm sure their lives changed for the better after that.

There's no ugly people, just poor people. Just reinforcing the idea that women are beautiful only when hit the Kardashian standard xD

Great article, but HOW TO FIND A GREAT STYLIST IS NOT EADY

What's up with all the photo shop here? There's nothing wrong with having flaws after a transformation, nobody is perfect-

I think they all look fantastic!

It's nice to see certain transformations, but I don't know why it is so trendy to cancel out any so called imperfections. There is nothing more attractive than freckles, a wrinkle here and there.. Of course, if they are happy with the result then that's all that counts, but I would love to see those ladies with just a TINY bit of make up, enhancing what they have and not turning them into a different person.
