Retouches, that is. There's something about making somebody look better...

Anyway, Katherine Heigl at the Academy Awards. Am I the only one who thought she looked WAY too made up? Her MA went crazy with the bronzer. I hated how her lipstick matched her dress, too.
Before:


After:
EDIT// Took Mark's advice and took lips from another image (random Scarlett Johansson) in an attempt for more dimension to her lips.

(Previous version)


Toned down the makeup on the lips and cheeks - I think she looks much more natural this way. What do you think?

so. after looking at this pic i decided to retouch this photo also :) i tried not to make it the same.. but i think it did turn out pretty similar =T anyways. i thought i'd share my final pic!

there's a barely there watermark... just because i'm so cautious -___-" i don't think its gets in the way too much of the retouched pic.

ew. but now that i'm looking at the thumbnail... did i overdo the eyes??
