Perfect Perfection

The glossy cover of a magazine is where we can certainly find a beautiful face; a face perfect beyond compare. But does a face can still be considered perfect when it already underwent the magic of photoshop?

Flawless skin, sexy figures are just the other factors that catch our eyes when looking at a magazine cover. Is her skin lighter? Is her figure slimmer? Is her face smaller? Is the person appears different from her usual look, there's eighty percent chance that the photos are photoshopped. 

WHY PHOTOSHOPPED?

Simple, the magazine aims for perfection (especially if it is a magazine that revolves around beauty).

Every feature of your body is a component of being you--every strand of your hair, the shape of your eyes, how long or short of your eyelashes are, the thickness or thinness of your lips, whatever shape of your face, the hips, either having an enthralled chest or curved butt. 

People around us have loved, respect, accepted, amused and sometimes idolized us for the most special qualities that we have from the biggest detail down to the smallest. This is how every individual gets their identity. 

Biblically speaking, the 'you' now is not an accident but rather it's God's plan. He made you because he is fond of you. The only way for you to meet the beauty is to accept yourself. 

In this adverse world of ours, what is new is in. However, we never mind how it will change our image, especially artists who are instead taking positive feedback; it goes the other way around. It's because we people are not contented of what natural beauty we have, we always wanted to clasp the Goddess's face. 

Artists like Charice, the Philippine pride and one of the Glee casts, who was featured in the Preview magazine, and Jinkee Pacquiao, the wife of the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, who was the cover of the Mega Magazine January issue, cracked the silence of photoshopping in our country.

Magazine covers ought to be beautiful and perfect, and covers that underwent photoshop is considerable--only if the photos received a minimum waves of the magic wand. But if the photos underwent major construction to the extent that a person in the photo incredibly could not recognize herself anymore is very disappointing.

Indeed magazine covers call for perfection, but perfection is not only composed of blemish free face, flawless skin and impeccable figure. Can't it be au natural? After all it is the little imperfections that make someone perfect.
