Everywhere you look you see photographs and videos of celebrities touched to perfection. They have flawless skin, gorgeous hair, bodies that are tone and tight. We open up a magazine while eating a donut and we see a picture of Beyonce, Eva Longoria, or Justin Timberlake in their perfection. It can make a person self conscious and long for things they don’t have. “I want big breast like her,” I want abs like him,” “I want a toned butt like she has,” “I want gorgeous long hair”…..the wants are endless. We feel the need to make ourselves look like celebrities in the videos and magazines because they considered the definition of beauty. However, we fail to realize that each time we see a picture of a celebrity in the magazine they are airbrushed. Anyone from Oprah, Jennifer Aniston, to P Diddy is celebrities who are being airbrushed in their photographs. The main program used to airbrush is Photoshop, it can get rid of any blemish, dark circle, cellulite, flabby stomach, and even make your face more frame. It can brighten your teeth, hair, and skin, to make you look more striking to the eye. When you see a photograph of a celebrity at least 10% of what you see is probably false. The power of Photoshop can deceive a person’s mind and make you think something that is not really there. Although media like television and magazines keep us all entertained and informed, we have to remember that creators of this media will manipulate their work so you can think the way they want you to think.
