As many people know, celebs have the full treatment when it comes to beauty. Makeup is the essential key to the "good looks" of our hot celebrities. Many young girls and teens aspire to look just like the girls in the magazines, but little do they know that these girls in the magazines do not look like that in real life. Take a look at Katy Perry in the cover of elle magazine posted above; notice her picture perfect face and perfectly touched up skin and think about how much work it took to make her look like that. What majority of these young girls that are attracted to these magazines do not know is that it takes tons of makeup and digital imaging to make them look like that. If you take a look at the second picture of katy Perry with no makeup on, you see a completely different image. Magazines have a way of manipulating young girls and teens into thinking that they are supposed to look just like the image they see. The audience is completely blinded to the actual reality of what these celebrities go through to look like that. With large amounts of makeup and digital imaging it takes, comes a lot of skin problems. As you can see in these two images of Katy Perry, her skin complexion and image is completely different. The question that stands is, is bad skin problems what we are really trying to sell to these young girls? I think not! Teenage girls do not want to go day by day with having to worry about what pimple they have to cover up or what acne they have to hide. Little do they know is that this makeup they see is causing those skin problems. The oils and chemicals go deep down into the pores of the skin and eventually build up irritation and cause those pimples and black heads that we all hate. Girls need to take a second look at these images and determine weather it is worth damaging their skin to look like this or accepting their natural beauty that they were born with.
