A World of Beauty – before and after

Different Nationalities Photoshop The Same Woman To Make Her “Beautiful”

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and this photography project clearly proves that.

In a new photographic series, Journalist Esther Honig took a photograph of herself and sent it to 40 different people in 25 different countries. She asked them to make her unedited and make-up free face “beautiful” using Photoshop.

My objective since the beginning has been to examine how the standards of unobtainable beauty vary across cultures on a global level.

Take a look at the – sometimes terrifying – results… do you think she looks more beautiful in the “after” shots? It’s certainly an interesting project and the editors are clearly influenced by personal and not just cultural factors, as some editors from the same countries have produced drastically differing results.
