Windseeker Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 So which country do you think go it right? http://twentytwowords.com/designers-from-22-countries-photoshop-the-same-woman-to-fit-their-standards-of-beauty/ Who do you think got it way wrong? Quote
The Folk Prophet Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 UK tops for me. US and Philippines were the worst,.followed by Australia and Kenya. Quote
Windseeker Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 I think I prefer the Ukraine but I also liked Israel and Romania. I also thought Argentina did a great job although much more "done up". Was surprised how poorly the U.S. did. Quote
MsMagnolia Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 My favs were Pakistan and Chile. The US was ridiculously horrible!! Greece was my favorite "made up" face. Quote
mordorbund Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 AAAAHHHHHH!!!! Germany!!!! What is wrong with you?! "There is nothing as beautiful as the undead." Quote
Bini Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 The whole thing is about ridiculous. They should have used a woman from each country, and then, done a before-and-after. That would have made more sense. Quote
Backroads Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I personally liked Italy's the most. Quote
Meerkatarmy Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 The Uk's was really bizzare. I didn't like any of the 'western' pictures Quote
Meerkatarmy Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 Israel, Pakistan, Romania, Ukraine and Vietnam were my favourite Philippines was the worst Quote
pam Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I liked Pakistan's the best. US was embarrassingly horrible. Quote
Dravin Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Some of them are just badly done and seem to say more about the skill of the Photoshopper and less about 'national' standards of beauty. Backroads, pam, classylady and 1 other 4 Quote
Backroads Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Some of them are just badly done and seem to say more about the skill of the Photoshopper and less about 'national' standards of beauty. Indeed. On more than a few of them I had to look beyond to see what standards of beauty they were getting at. Quote
The Folk Prophet Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 I also think there's some relativity to it. Pouty lips and big eyes can be attractive. But when you see the original pic and then the photoshopped version added pouty lips and larger eyes it looks fake and overdone. If the original model had pouty lips and big eyes in the first place it would not necessarily come across that way. Quote
SpiritDragon Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Argentina is by far the best. Italy is a distant second and all the rest are brutal. Quote
FiveNine Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 I have seen this floating around Facebook, quite interesting to see how cultures and what they find most attractive vary. Obviously this does not speak for the majority, but it presents the idea. Quote
classylady Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I truly didn't care for any of them. Quote
Guest Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Bangladesh and Ukraine are the best for me. Philippines is the worst! Okay, as far as what is considered beautiful in the Philippines (what celebrities try to look like)... they prize light skin, so much so that you will find women walking around in big umbrellas in bright sunlight so they don't tan and you find skin-whitening ads common. And then, they prize the narrow, long nose and high cheekbones. So they do contouring make-up. And then the long straight hair. So you find keratin rebonding hair treatments or Brazilian blow dry on every nook and cranny... Quote
