Skin photographs

[misssakura]

Okay well here is the deal. Lately my skin is pretty bad. It makes me feel so down that often I can't go out. Its just lumpy, not on the sides of my cheeks but all around my nose and all over my forehead...just lumps, skin coloured lumps, its awful. My quirks are also really dark brown so I always look as if I have some weird moustache.

Anyway, I was wondering if i'm putting myself down for nothing. You see, most people airbrush their photos anyway. Or they just put flash on. I was wondering if anybody here would be willing to put up photos of their skin, not edited, no super flash. Just as is. I think everybody has a distorted view of what 'normal' and good skin is.

People say 'oh I had a skin peel and my skin is great!'. So I try a skin peel and then find out that their idea of great isn't my idea of great.

So i'd be really interested in hearing people's regimes and seeing unedited pics of skin. And if i'm feeling nice I might make you all feel better by showing my nasty skin (which used to be great, one of the few things I had going for me).

OK, sounds fair

Here's a pic of me with no makeup at all, and a pic with makeup


Not much of a difference but tired stoned eyes

[Alejandro]

Photos one and two have the correct lighting, that's my skin tone...

In Photo #1, you can see my nose area...
In Photo #2, you can see my cheek...
In Photo #3...... well... I tried to make myself look attractive, it didn't work...
In Photo #4, I look like a goof.

You can clearly see dark circles in all of the photos, which I have because I took a nap. Dark circles are not usually a problem for me.

As you can tell, my skin is very clear, but I have a ton of moles. Most of them are not as pronounced as they are in the photos, except for the two on my right cheek, that I used to hate but now adore. Sometimes I even darken them for added mole glamour.

SoCalledPrep...you have lips like Angelina!
You're gorgeous... I would kill for your skin girl, lol.

This is as close as a cam would ever get to my skin J/K

But always remember, never read beauty mag`s, they make you feel ugly..I think I remember seing an exaple on TFS on how heavy the airbrush in thoose mags really are?

 

[ELLE_ME]

since we are talking about A.Jolie, it looks like she has some ptoblems with her skin..........

 

[AlexN]

Prep, your eyes and lips totally remind me of Angelina in the 3rd picture.

Elle, you look like a supermodel or something.

Both of you look like you have better skin than Angelina.

 

[adorefaith]

Angelina is just beyond stunning..it's unbelievable.

Elle_Me...you remind me so much of my partner. You're extremely beautiful.

 

[ELLE_ME]

Thank you guys But I think I look like i`ve smoked something on that pic.....
Prep...your skin is perfect and I love to see pics of the way you dress, your style is so great!!

 

[misssakura]

oh no, all you guys have such amazing skin XD

TSCP: I think moles are great, I have a load but i've come to pretty much accept them, I hardly notice them anymore...you remind me of fiona apple a little...thanks for the photos!

Ale: your skin is just ....wow. I love the skin tone as well, its so even. Maybe I need more sun and exercise or something.

Elle: ....wahhhhhhhhhhhh

*cough* i'll post a picture later when i've woken up and my skin is less puffy ;D

please dont laugh

my skin is terrible thats why i always wear make-up hide it all

cameras are so mean just thought i'd share my missery

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

awww... thank you everyone... I thought I looked pretty poopy and tired in those pics, with my split lip and all

 

[Bluestar07]

You people have such gorgeous skin! Ale, yours is perfect even with no make up on and (going on a tangent here) I love your eyebrows!

I'm fair and have got quite clear skin but my skin tone is pretty uneven so I never go out without at least powder on my face.

The only problem area I can see is around your nose, but you're so gorgeous. To be honest i'm really ashamed to show my pictures because of the problems i've been having with my eyebrows...they're not good, I feel like the village idiot!

 

[misssakura]

here we go

Well here we are. This is quite painful for me..when I was younger (until I was 17 or 18) I used to have fantastic skin. People would come up to me and go "wow your skin is just AMAZING it is like porcelain!". It was pretty much the only thing I had going for me, i'm very ugly, I have a nose that is shaped like Italy, tiny childish lips, a horrible bum shaped recessed chin, poofy wonky eyebrows, super thick hair that never grows anymore...it feels like those people who came up to me were all cursing me, and now i'm being punished for having that skin. It makes me feel so sad thinking that this is what i'm doomed to forever....I feel tired and useless and ugly, nobody wants to hire me, and I can't even afford skin products anymore, or new clothes. My whole outfit today cost £2 because its all I could find. *sigh* I have huge eyebags because my eyesight is so bad..I don't go out a lot because...I don't have any money anymore and besides nobody wants to see me anyway. *siggggh*

Probably sucks that I have a good camera cus it captures the skin so much better...damn you canon rebel...damn you!

20 this year....not a lot to celebrate. heh.

There is a reason I didn't put a side profile up I have a really ba dmigraine right now so i'm feeling more down than usual...but can't you see all the huge bumps and lumpy skin on my face (esp around my nose and forehead)...?
