100% of the images you see in magazines are retouched. Here is proof.

If you’ve ever found yourself comparing your skin/hair/body to a celebrity or model and felt that you came up short, there is a very good reason for that: Photoshop.

The video was created in 2011 by GlobalDemocracy.com to demand mandatory disclaimers on all photos of airbrushed models.
