Although I am rather critical of these postings, I need to admit this one is much better than usual. Normally, the people on the left look miserable, are shot with bad lighting and strange backgrounds, whereas those on the right are super glad and heavily edited. No so here...the comparison is balanced.

I like that nobody was photoshopped like all hell in this post. I also like that they're wearing the same outfit instead of an ugly outfit and a flattering outfit to make the difference seem more profound.

I'm thinking of doing something similar at my next trip to my hair stylist. She can cut it as short as she wants as long as it's easy for me to style. And who cares if it isn't amazing? I'm a stay at home mom and can wear hats 99% of the time outside until it grows!

Every single one of them look better with styled hair and makeup. Who woulda thunk it, in this day and age?

Another proof that short hair looks good on women! In general, all of these women look amazing.

Yes, the after haircut and makeup are nice, but a lot of the difference is that in the first picture they look like they're posing for a driver's license photo and in the second they're relaxed and smiling.

Of course I love the after shots. I just wish (and thinking of myself here) that it didn't take gobs of makeup to get to this point. The other thought I always have is the upkeep on the new hairstyles. Having to retouch the roots for color (more money & time) and would I know how to style it quickly for work...... Guess that's why I stay old and crabby looking.....tee hee......

Example after example of people with normal appearances being made to look extraordinary. And to be sure most of the feedback, the upvotes, the comments, often positive, are from women. But, of course, it is men who create pressure for women to look beautiful.
