What's so special about this make up?
There's something very special about the makeup used in these pictures? Do you know what it is?
Keep reading to find out...
It's not actually make up at all. It's been applied digitally to pictures of models. Computer wizards used digital samples of current make up collections (in these cases Rimmel and YSL) and made them up without ever touching their face. Clever, eh?
It was all done for V Magazine, and you can watch the transformations from naked face to digitally made up on their website.

Sure it looks cool, but this really bugs me.
Thanks to uber-photoshop, we're already not sure the makeup we buy will apply similarly to that in the ads. I guess this means the stuff we buy definitely wont even approach that of the ads.

Sonja - You're so right, we weren't too happy when they just digitally changed the colours on a L'Oreal ad...

Clever: no. Ghastly: yes. It looks like clown makeup! They already use computers to digitally enhance, add, or alter a model's cosmetics, so there's nothing terribly new about this; except that normally, they try to make the models look better, no worse!

Oops! Typo. I meant 'not' worse.

Just this weekend a friend showed me her visual arts portfolio. She had this fantastic cover of a ballerina. Turns out the photo was taken with the girl in no makeup at all and a blue dress. For the cover the dress was a gorgeous pale pink and her face was in on-stage makeup. I'd never have known if she didn't tell me. She reckons that it's totally part and parcel for the industry now.
