"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is an accurate quote by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford. Everyone views beauty differently: some find it in nature, some in the busy streets of cities. It especially varies when we're talking about the beauty of people.

Sadly, sometimes people feel insecure in their own bodies. Maybe it's because of some body issues—scars, age. There are many factors that can bring our confidence down. Then we can't let our inner beauty shine through.

Emily London is a photographer with the goal of getting rid of any insecurities women have and making them feel like the queens they are. She helps women feel confident in their own skin by giving them incredible makeovers and then capturing their portraits. The women get transformed into models and Hollywood divas that could easily be on the most popular magazine covers or movie screens.

I like that they didn't photoshop her face to look 20 years younger. Beautifully mature woman!

They also gave her really nice makeup. It’s not all Instagram-style with magic marker eyebrows.

She's a pretty lady in the before photo, too. I hope her, and the other ladies, don't rely on make-up and clothes to find confidence in themselves. These before shots not flattering, I admit, but a comb, a comfortable blouse and a smile is all they need. Society is dictating how they expect women to look. So when the makeup comes off, do they lose their confidence? I pray not.

Makes her look like someone's interfering-but-lovable mom in a Hallmark movie.

She has a lovely figure and should always wear her hair lose, eye makeup

Taking care of insecurities by making women look like celebrities is faulty logic and is the opposite of helping them. The implication is that celebrities look better than the rest of us and that's simply not true. Makeup and fashion don't make women more attractive. Misleading captions like the one on this page only damage women who may already be suffering from low self-esteem.

This is some more information about Emily from her website: "I know what beautiful looks like. I can see yours. I know how to bring it forward, and how to capture it with my camera. I also know what it's like to be a woman who struggles to see her own beauty. That's why I've made it my mission to create the most beautiful portraits you have ever had. I want to show you how beautiful you are; to help you reconnect with the woman you see in your portraits, and be awed by her again." Emily is based in Salt Lake City. She has two children and a German shepherd. Her hobbies include playing the ukulele.
