We’ve all seen a million pictures of celebrities without their makeup, etc.  But even still, I think we are all a little fooled by the magic of modeling.  Sure, anybody would look good with better wardrobe / hair / makeup, but they have to have a good base to work with, right?  Well, kind of.  

Check out some of these images to see how much they really change via “airbrushing” or photoshop.  It is absolutely amazing.  I’m not surprised that they do this stuff, but I figured it would just be a little touch up here or there.  They practically draw a new picture.

Follow the link and then, once the image is loaded, mouse over it to see the original picture before touch ups.  Also, there are a few little images on the right hand side that you can click on which will bring you a close-up of a particular area that was heavily modified.

Another good one is this bikini chick. Also (so as not to be called sexist)(again) here is a male model.  There are a few more on the right of the page.
