Some of them look better before than after. What I don't get is, if the extra ton of makeup is 'shopped off, why glop it on in the first place?
20 years ago, I went shopping for a makeup trifle just before my sister's wedding, and in talking to the makeup chickie, I was advised if I didn't glop up, I'd simply "disappear" from the pictures. When I exaggeratedly asked about literally "disappearing" from the pics, she didn't get it. (Of course she was just trying to peddle the cosmetics, but she picked the wrong woman on which to use the hyperbole.)
