That is why i don’t listen to what the world says anymore.<\/p>\n

I don’t digitally manipulate my facial features in the photos, there is no point to that. Imperfections are there to stay, i hate the BCG mark on my left arm and i have to clone it off in every photo. Yes, it is a bloody imperfection that the world does not see in the final post production. There are some models out there who super impose their face on another model’s body because they are not confident of their own body. It is very easy to tell if it is fake, it will look unnatural. Super models walking down the walkway are close to alien looking long neck creatures with pale skin. Maybe that is why i am not taking the step to contact a modeling agency as i do not want to become the stereotyped beauty of the century. I am happy the way i am, naturally. I use natural products like DR’s Secret<\/a> and only apply chemical based makeup on shoots and remove them immediately after the session.<\/p>\n

There is no need for wide contact lenses as it blows the eyes out of proportions and the photos turn out like freaks of nature. Or thick makeup that looks like a opera singer. Fortunately, many of the guys whom i know admitted that they prefer girls not to wear heavy makeup as it is too scary when they look closely at their faces. Then again not a lot of girls know how to put make up properly (lack of education in grooming). Thank god my mum took the initiative to sign me up for a few Dior workshops (purchase a $60 voucher to get a free makeup workshop) and it really makes a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
