I swear there is NO editing here! (well, I won't lie, I cut the image to make it square).
I was preparing myself for a photoshoot, and after I painted one eye and put one of the contact lenses, I was like, 'woah, makes a difference'. Had never really realized until now. Pale perfect skin, blue feline eye, big lips. And then freckled face, brown eye, no eyelashes.
Bam, cleaned my right side and took a picture. Sweet.

Just look at what make-up can do.
Me gusta.

Critique by ~retorrr May 17, 2012, 8:54:28 AM
I instantly got caught by this photo. There is not much to criticize. Most things have been said. I only gave 3 stars für originality because the half/half-face is something I have seen fairly often. But I believe that the point of vision, which I regard as the message, has been neglected a little:

I love this photo not only for its aesthetics and so on but also what can bee seen. The duality of beauty shown in it and the discussion following it in the comments. Both sides are equal in terms of "quality", as far as you can use this term in the very subjective context of beauty but their style is so very different. It is not easy to decide whether a face with make up or a natural one is more beautiful. And although I really looked at it for quite a while, I came to no general result but the one that natural faces often look warmer. It really is apples and pears..

Personally I have never thought about it that way until I tried to figure out what to think of this picture. I have no idea if you ever intended to give that incentive but in my understanding you earn 5 stars for vision anyway.

This piece is too perfect .
First i would like to say that the girl looks equally, if not more , beautiful without make up to with make up.

The look in her eyes is amazing and soul catching , from the serious breath taking blue with the dark perfectly done eye line to the mysterious clean kind brown.

The light " poudre " on the " touched " part of her face makes her look quite deep and mysterious , like she doesn't want anyone to get under that her skin and figure her out , on the other hand the lack of any substance on the untouched part of her face shows that she is not afraid of showing what she is made of even with the presence of the flaws .

Her lips are beautiful , the part that is covered with the dark red makes her look like a woman who can have a man and keep him , the other part of her lips makes her sound as innocent as a small girl can be but as tough as a mother protecting her child.

The neck bones are beautiful , even if they're not shown a lot , they show toughness and firmness.

With the hair pulled back tightly i'd say she's a woman that no man should mess with , specially if she was without make up.
What do you think?

I kind of got caught by this picture. I love the "With Makeup v. Without Makeup" pictures like this, but this one made me laugh, too! You put on makeup to get "Pale perfect skin, blue feline eye, big lips" and I'd rather have the other side! I love freckles, I wish I had any! And I wish I had brown eyes!

I've always thought it was funny how people like what they don't have. Just the way you describe the two looks makes it seem like you'd rather have blue eyes, pale skin and red lips. I can tell you for a fact I'd rather look like the left! P.S - I have nothing against blue eyes and pale skin but I've got them and they're boring to me!

for the record, i like the left side more. it looks natural, but the right side has a surreal beauty. i hope this girl isn't you, because you shouldn't wear make up. you're pretty good on your own. :)

I like it this is truly good representation of what people see and by the way I really love your normal face without the makeup! It's prettier!

Okay, I'm going to be that guy. Honestly, I like the make-up side more. I feel like if I could see two complete faces, one with make-up and one without I could make a better decision, but there is a reason that we do certain things to ourselves to make us more attractive and this happens to be one of them. I'm not saying that the half without is not beautiful, it's just not as appealing as the half with. That probably seems fairly obvious but I felt it needed to be said (if not again). Then there's the part about eye color. It is a known fact that, biologically and sociologically, people find blue eyes to be more attractive. It's part of life. We always find the rare and scarce traits to be appealing because they are different and blue eyes are far rarer than brown eyes genetically. It's unfair to use blue eyes in this photo since the concept seems to be "make-up vs not". However, even if it were a brown eye I were looking at I still would not change my decision. Interesting.

Where I come from most of the people have blue eyes, so I find blue eyes very common and bland. And I like the without make-up version better because I can see her freckles better. But yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :D

Hi there, I'm currently desperately looking for cool artwork such as what is above to be published in the first edition of Brainwash Magazine (www.pozible.com/brainwashproject) and this would be great in the mag. Please email me if you are interested in having this published in hard copy. Your work would be credited to you and I'd love for you to write a 50 word bio about yourself to include in the magazine. Design work is happening NOW so the sooner you can respond, the better! Please don't reply on this site, please email: Jessica Barlow at thebrainwashproject@gmail.com. I hope to hear from you, kindest, Jessica.

The others have said what needs to be said, very well done. All of your work is extremely beautiful and haunting and requires investigation to try to get to the other meanings packed into the work. This amazing ability you have to be attractive, yet feral.. something not to be trifled with, is pretty incredible. Well done and very inspirational.
