The ultra smooth skin is shown this way on purpose, its a statement on the fashion/glamour imagery where they change the reality of what people look like. giving a false impression and false icons. But it poses a question of do people want to see celebrities, film stars and models warts and all? Or maybe somewhere in-between.
I know what you mean! I like the "smooth" look of "perfection". I guess, that's how we want to look or bee seen by others..... Sad but true. With all what's going on in the fashion industry our eye gets a bit distorted and we expect to see that perfection in every day life... But, the reality is different and we need to learn to love what we have. Are people going to appreciate their own and others' beauty as is? I hope so! ;) She is absolutely gorgeous looking beyond the "edited look". Great work!
