Here is a list of celebrities photoshopped before and after, for those of you who tried to reach perfection by surgeries, by diets or by make-up. And here is my message to you: perfection does not exist, girl, so just be yourself and you will be as beautiful as any star, with, or without Photoshop!

1. Cameron Diaz

It is kind of ironic that I saw her not long ago ranking high in Maxim’s top 100 sexy women of this year. So, even one of the sexiest women in the world needs some Photoshop work before being ready to appear in front of the world! The changes are minor, but she is fully dressed, and the only part of her body which may be seen was corrected.

2. Mariah Carey

What we have here is a different situation. Mariah’s almost naked body needed serious work! It is not that she is not sexy in reality – she still is- but the perfect look she proudly shows in the second one is really a dream came true for many women. We can see now that the ideal body all women are crazy for is just that: an ideal. Stop the starvation, ladies of the world, there is no such thing as a “perfect” body!

3. Some celebrity

Here’s another idea of how things actually work in the beauty industry… This celeb that I really don’t know -you may enlighten me, if you can-is “rich” in cellulites but her cover photo is showing a perfect, heavenly body. I did not see any of these in the real world- so far, at least!

4. Eva Longoria

I really like Eva Longoria, I think she is quite beautiful-not a classical beauty, but in her own way. Now that I see her before Photoshop, I realize she is not THAT beautiful, but still, she looks decent

(she doesn’t seem to have cellulites ether).

5. Madonna

Wow, Madonna needed serious work! Unfortunately for all of us, she is not getting any younger! Her photoshopped picture does, though! I wish she started acting and wearing her age. Oh, and it seems like she did not get too much sleep one night before the photo shot either!

6. Demi Moore

Well, I have to admit, Demi Moore looks cute even without Photoshop’s help. You can see how huge the difference is, though. In the original one, she seems a nice woman you would possibly like to date, or present to your mother. The shopped one screams HOOOT , but is so artificial!

7. Brittany Murphy

A close-up of the face can bring out any zip, every little scratch you ever had since birth, so yes, I understand this one. Brittany is pretty also but it is this thirst of commercial, flawless beauty and these close-ups that make people look worse than they deserve.

8. Pamela Anderson

The list of the 10 celebrities photoshopped could not be complete without this one! With this face, she could really scare children on Halloween. There is no wonder she needed to be heavily photoshopped. Sorry, lady, but your time is gone! Do some room for the young, fresh wanna-be-sex-symbols!!!

9. Penelope Cruz

She looks as nice in her not photoshopped picture as well. Just some small expression wrinkles that we all have and some smoothness added, but she is beautiful in reality. You can argue with me, though, I can’t be objective about Penelope Cruz(big fan).

10. George Clooney

I really wanted a male representative of the photoshopped celebrities’ brigade on this list, so here it is. George Clooney was a really handsome guy- and he still is- but age does not forgive him…lots of wrinkles that needed to be rid of. What a huge change!
