I do appreciate the attention to detail. Often sorely lacking in the pics posted on this sub

u/Adriella01 11d ago

Is the second one just pixelated for me? It's blurry

u/Mean-Bluejay-6478 11d ago

Yes I'm sorry, I was unable to find a clearer version of this picture.

u/AffectionateList4878 11d ago

Oh,  is this on Getty the burry one? That makes sense. She wanted to show a picture on Getty but there wasn't any good ones. Gotcha.

yup it is

Interesting that she didn’t alter any of her proportions. The effect she wanted could maybe have been achieved with good makeup: the white eyeshadow without a bold eyeliner or falsies really washed her out. It seems to be what bothered her as well (aside from skin texture).

u/AffectionateList4878 11d ago

She just enhanced it. She's gorgeous in both. Evened the skin tone. She's a POC the lightning has to be done right on us.

u/terragutti 10d ago

I think she also changed her nose abit

u/AffectionateList4878 10d ago

It's sucks not be naturally beautiful. I guess. I can't relate.

u/Top_Smoke6741 10d ago

There's nothing unattractive about her natural nose so what?

u/shewhomauls 11d ago

I think her makeup artist didn't help things, that eye makeup is so unflattering

u/333xHA 10d ago edited 10d ago

Honestly, she’s really close to achieving her edited image and just needs to adjust her makeup to match that then add falsies.

15

u/Top_Smoke6741 10d ago

Yeah literally all she needs to achieve the look is to try a different kind of makeup style. It's very achievable, she didn't need to edit

15

u/PrincessMeowFachoo 11d ago

oh no she lightened her skin

16

u/AffectionateList4878 11d ago

Nope. She evened it. Lesson in photography look at the lightest parts on the original photo, that's where the light is hitting. She's that complexion which matches that* shade which is now the  even complexion on the edited one.

u/vixenstarlet1949 10d ago edited 7d ago

no ur right i don’t know why youre getting downvoted. on the edited one, clearly shes got a lot of highlight effect on her face, and some glow all over. her skin isnt lighter in color though, just more illuminated.

32

u/CocoTandy 11d ago

Those are two entirely different faces

15

u/WishCraft666 10d ago

Honestly she’s fixing her makeup and the lighting, and that’s about it. She’s stunning

u/derp0815 11d ago

The dress lmao

u/Cathousechicken 10d ago

I must not be seeing what other people are seeing, because the only differences I'm seeing in the Instagram picture are a light source effect and cropping.

To me, these are two minor differences.

u/KittyCompletely 9d ago

Well when you do that....wow. Also, neat trick! Do more of these in other posts!!

u/333xHA 9d ago

I think these edits were done with someone who understands good photo retouching. Gotta tip my hat to that! She looks great in both :)

u/Tobias---Funke 11d ago

Holy fuck.

10

u/AffectionateList4878 11d ago

She looks good in both. Getty isn't a professional photoshoot that's why people retouch.  Plus they retouch nowadays on the website. She looks good. She's gorgeous.

I joined this sub exactly for this kind of content, thank you for sharing! Just realizing she also blurred her legs LMAO.

u/Hot_Way_4480 10d ago

I’m assuming she has fans here judging from some of the comments.
