Easier said than done, but ladies, don't be influenced by what you see and read in glossy magazines.
Best thing to do is avoid all those programmes on tv and the glossy magazines.
Most of them are fake and extremely superficial.
Watch Eastenders and Coronation Street. The women in those programmes are far more represenative of real women in our society :D

Yeah, she's called Cloe. She was in the media (paper etc). I think she was a runner up for Miss England. She's a size 16 I think.
I basically took the original picture and trimmed her down, so that's what she could potentially look like underneath all that body fat.
Here's the original article: http://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2008/04/02/miss-england-size-16/

Photoshop can be a very powerful tool when you know how to use it properly. But it's merely a tool that will allow you to apply your creativity. The creativity itself you won't get from any application but from your own mind/imagination.
Think you've forgot to trim down her toes.
I was working with quite a low res image so it wouldn't be too obvious to the normal eye, which is why I didn't focus on the toes much.

I don't, well not yet and I think it would be fun to do so sometime in the near future.
But I do know all the tricks of the trade, air brushing, cloning, make up artistry etc.

lol, if you insist but it will have to be a quick edit, got a few things I need to be getting on with.
I'll need your picture first though.
That's quite an impressive piece of work there! Hmm, airbrushing...just goes to show how obsessed the world is with being perfect and flawless.

Yes you're right.
It's all in the mind. Once you know how to tap into a persons mind, understand their way of thinking, they become putty in your hands.
The images a person sees, the words they read, the colours used, even the typeface (font), can form an impression on your potential consumer.
It's amazing how you can manipulate a persons decision in buying a product by using this knowledge to your advantage.

Lol I was thinking that too and I think I got through to my brother as well about all these actresses and models <). Sometimes he's like, "No but she's not wearing make-up" and I'm like "It's what they call natural make-up or even Photoshop" lol

Hah, get rid of the hundreds of pounds worth of make-up plastered on their faces, and put them on any random street in regular clothes, 99% of them wouldn't get a second glance.

Yea and I think girls are stupid for wasting money trying to look like them too 'cause at the end of the day, the celebs are no better looking than we are! I mean yea, buy a few nice things to look nice but when the start altering their bodies to look like celebs, that's where they are going wrong.

An edited picture always looks weird, especially when you've seen the original and you're used to a particular look.
Regarding the foundation, well that's a lot of girls for you ey, even guys!

Lol yea that's true, although I do have a couple of pics on my profile where I've had my make-up done by a professional and they just cake the foundation on lol. It probably looks weird in that pic because I don't have any make-up on at all.
Graphic Lab

The problem with that pic is, 1) it's very low resolution (so not much detail to begin with) and 2) it's very dark.
But yeah, Bav, you look fine as you are chuck :)

lol, ok you're obviously not convinced.
Well, personal belief and self esteem is more important than what others perceive.
How about trying to do something about your weight, assuming that 'you' think that you are overweight?
Losing weight is actually a lot easier than people think. You just need a little motivation and stick to your plan.
1) Have a high energy breakfast (sugar, carbs etc).
2) Heavy lunch consisting of carbs, protein etc. (note: the more you eat for breakfast and lunch, the less you will snack in the evening and night time)
3) Walk whenever you can, take the stairs instead of the lift, sleep less (aim for 7-8 hours)
4) Eat healthy alternatives to junk food.
ie. Jaffa cakes instead of cream cakes, biscuits. Hot cocoa with water instead of full fat drinking chocolate with cream. Wholemeal bread instead of white. Toast with no butter. Tuna with salad cream instead of mayonaise.
^^ it's those little things in a lifestyle that accumulate to pile on the pounds.
But more importantly, you need to have the motivation to stick to your plans.

2) Heavy lunch consisting of carbs, protein etc. (note: the more you eat for breakfast and lunch, the less you will snack in the evening and night time)
dont eat tht too
3) Walk whenever you can, take the stairs instead of the lift, sleep less (aim for 7-8 hours)
go to the gym almost everyday
4) Eat healthy alternatives to junk food.

I spent about 5-10 mins editing that picture and it wasn't a clear picture to begin with so there wasn't much for me to work with... which is why I made a lot of it up.
Get your picture over to me somehow (url? email?) and I'll glam you up, not that I'm implying you need a makeover.
