Buzzfeed recently released the video “Photoshopping Real Women into Cover Models.”

The video documents the experiences of three real women as they model in a professional photo shoot and are exposed to photoshop. The women hardly recognized themselves once they were shown the final, photoshopped pictures. Feeling stripped of their identities, the women speak out and share their sentiments.

Taken aback by the photoshopped shots of themselves they question if anyone actually looks as perfect as they do on the cover of a magazine.  One woman says, “I feel like it doesn’t even look like me… I like my freckles, I think they add character. And the fact that they’re gone, I don’t even know who this is.” Another women shares, “This is how I always wanted to see myself, but now that I see it, I’m questioning why I ever wanted to look like that.”

The third woman adds, “Instead of looking at other things and trying to aspire to be something else, we should just be comfortable in who we are and just try to be our best selves.”

Stop holding yourselves to a standard of beauty that does not even exist!  Photoshop works to correct the freckles on our noses, the gaps in our teeth, and the wrinkles that we get next to our eyes when we smile, but it is exactly these “imperfections” that make us beautiful!
