please: wear some damned makeup already | 10:06 am | 7 June 2006
A nice Photoshop tutorial on cleaning up a face so it’s pretty / normal-looking. (Mouse over the “final result” image.) This is hardly Photoshop plastic surgery stuff, but it’s what I have to go through pretty much EVERY DAMNED TIME I’m given a person’s photograph for a site or brochure. Please! Look in the mirror. Comb your hair, powder your nose (men, too… and you might want do your shiny head while you’re at it), and do something about those eye bags — the five minutes you take will save a very expensive hour, and god forbid your company doesn’t have the budget for those hours and THEN THE INTERNETS WILL THINK YOU’RE UGLY.
Oh, and if you’re a smoker or drink a pot of coffee every day? Two words: whitening strips. You don’t have to go Ross-Nuclear-White, but it’ll take five years off of you.
