You can see the major differences between the two pictures.
The one on the right says, "I'm pretty, so that means you have to look like me to be pretty.
On the other hand, the one on the left says, "This is who I truly am. Don't judge me for I know I'm beautiful in my own way.
People like Naomi Watts is portrayed like this because the 'media' wants us to think that if that's the way celebrities are suppose to look, that is how we are suppose to look as well. It is true that Photoshop does make everything seem better, but it doesn't. It might change some features on their face or what not, but it shows that they are not happy with what they look. They are embarrassed of how they look in reality, when in reality, everyone looks fine in their own way. We aren't all perfect, and that's when the media steps in.
They try to change you, making you not act and look like yourself. And we all know that they're pretty much using your face and body to create a better looking face and body. We can try to reduce this nonsense by trying to get people to be their selves and try not to act like someone else. People who don't feel right about how they look and envy models in magazines should try to act positive. They can just act like themselves not worrying about how they may look , or stay and live in someone else's shadow. In my opinion, I wouldn't care less about the way I look, because everyone's beautiful in their own special way.
If I were to see the front cover of a magazine without the use of an image editing application, I would be astonished and surprised that the media can actually let people be themselves. This might not be a possible route because people are still unsure of what they are and how they look. It would probably take a little more time until everyone, especially the media to get used to how people look and how they should look.
