muffintop-less:

So as some of you already know, I am a retouch artist. My main clientele is magazines and lingerie companies. I use photoshop to make the girls you THINK are perfect, flawless. It’s a fun job, as it requires some creativity… but it also takes a toll on my psyche and self-esteem… So I can only imagine what it does to you girls who don’t get to see the process for yourself.

I’m here to tell you that those models are NOT even remotely close to perfect. Those girls you idolize in the magazines.. the ones you tear out and post up on your wall… the ones you starve yourself to look like? THEY DON’T EVEN LOOK LIKE THAT!!! On top of airbrushing, there is also a tool called Liquify that can make them appear skinnier! I have to use it all the time to thin out these girls! 

The truth is, these “perfect models” have stretch marks, freckles, scars, birth marks, blemishes, moles, tattoos, wrinkles, cellulite, muffin top, tummy pooches and all kinds of other things you don’t see in pictures. STOP STRIVING FOR PERFECTION… IT IS NOT ATTAINABLE… EVEN BY THOSE YOU THINK ARE PERFECT.

Choose to be YOUR best self! CREATE your OWN self to IDOLIZE. Start with your attitude… learn to be positive and love yourself and the rest will come easy!
