I feel so ugly when I see celebrities and models.?

Question

I feel really down when I see models and celebrites in magazine, they look so perfect why cant I look like them, the have perfect skin and the structure of their face is amazing too!

Answer 1

first things first.. do not think you are alone. Everyone has these feelings from time to time, the amount you feel this is not in proportion to your looks. I look at models and feel ugly, my friends do, everyone does occasionally.

The thing to remember is that, although these celebrities are pretty, (and yes, they are, lets just admit it.) that is why they are celebrities. They have been picked because of their good looks. The people we see in magazines is hardly a proportional representation of the population.

Each of these celebrities, also, will have massive insecurities. For all their stunning photo's, there will be ten which make them look as attractive as a baboon's backside. So you might feel insecure, but so do they.

Value yourself for what you are. When someone asks you what your best friend is like, you dont go... she's got the most perfect bone structure! you say... she's happy, bubbly, smiley, gorgeous, helping, shy, sweet.... all of these things. And focus on your good physical points rather than you worst. Got great legs? then flaunt them! love your toes? show them off. Your body is beautiful, not because of how much makeup you have, but because it was created to be so.

And finally, how ever ugly you feel when you look in a mirror, I can guarentee you will look 10 times better than your friends. Its called body dysmorphia, when your brain actually changes the images that you see to make your nose look bigger, eyebrows more unshapely, whatever you hate about your body your brain and eyes are your worst most spiteful enemy. Find a picture of you looking amazing and look at it when you feel depressed. Take pride in yourself! Tell yourself, out loud, what you like about your body. Then go out and do something, and forget about your worries. They're all in your head, honest.

No i don't the way I see that's that celebrities are fortunate sufficient to have the money for to pay for improving surgical treatment, very own running shoes and sleelctive ingredients. They starve themselves and over excercise. All magazines air brush perfection so as that their covers will sell all of us understand that. i don't experience any much less or greater advantageous than the different woman in the international. I even have flaws like everbody and issues that i understand i won't be in a position to alter and issues that i'm able to. And maximum adult males might ogle action picture star photos or porn yet they understand that reall women are actually not equipped like that and have cellulite, stretch marks, sags right here and there or dimples etc. Thats what makes us all who we are.

Answer 3

You don't have the staff they do, nor do you have an eating disorder (or if you do, get help now!). Celebrities have famous designers dressing them, experienced makeup artists doing their faces and highly skilled hairdressers taking care of their hair. They also have personal trainers, plastic surgeons and photography experts to airbrush the rest.

There is nothing wrong with being a normal person!!! I am far from perfect, slightly overweight, uncontrollable hair and you know what? I think I look pretty good. I'll bet you do too.

Stop comparing yourself to something that isn't real! Without all of that help experts, celebrities look like ordinary people too.

Answer 4

Remember that you are seeing them with all their makeup on and their hair done (by professionals). Makeup that is expertly applied can emphasize bone structure where you want it to be emphasized. I saw a mag the other day at the hair stylist's that had 10 or so celebs without makeup. I hardly recognized any of them. Lots had really bad skin too but they wear such heavy makeup that you don't notice it.
For us regular folks it's better to have good skin and work from there. We don't need to have makeup that doesn't melt under hot lights. Our faces don't show up in minute detail in magazines.
There are makeup artists at cosmetic counters all over the country who will give you a mini-lesson or mini-makeover in the hopes that you will buy their products eventually.

Answer 5

Don't be so hard on yourself Lizzie. If you could see the celebs first thing in the morning. That is if they get up in the morning, after boozing all night. You would see them as they really are. With all their faults, which they go to a lot of trouble to hide behind their make-up. Which, by the way is applied by their helpers.
You look fine. Be proud of who you are. Enjoy yourself away from all those media vultures. Imagine having photographers stalking you wherever you go, trying to catch you at your worst and then selling the unflattering pictures to the highest bidder.
You don't want to look like them, it's they who wish to have your life to go out when you please, without looking over your shoulder. Hiding your face from countless cameras - those that you can see and many more that you can't.

Answer 6

The photos you see are usually retouched and also after hours with professional hair stylists and makeup people. If you want a real eyeopener, look up some of them without makeup.

Go to a good store that sells quality makeup and get one of their people to do a makeover on you and show you exactly which cosmetics to buy. Then go to a good hairstylist and ask her to work her magic. You will be amazed at the results. Sometimes it just takes their expertise to bring out beauty that is just a little out of reach of most of us. Most important, be beautiful inside because looks eventually fade but a beautiful heart goes on forever.

Answer 7

I feel so small and insignificant when I see Mt. Everest !!

Sit around and WANT all you WANT --- only thing it changes is the little things that you can whine your way into by way of those that are scrambling to "make you happy" somehow !!

Deal with the hand your dealt -- make yourself into something that THESE people can't be !! Excel at something and make others take note of YOU -- and make it something that isn't fleeting and imperminent like beauty and image !!!! Then in fifty years from now -- when these people are hiding from the cameras because they are no longer "the image of perfection" -- you'll still be knocking people over with what YOU DO !!!!!!

Answer 8

You must be a very young person.....otherwise you would already know that celebrities sit for hours to get the magazine-ready look. their hairstylist, makeup artist and assistants follow them around all day fixing them up for these events. I promise you, 90 percent of them look horrible without makeup, trust me, i've seen a few. some celebrities are indeed really beautiful naturaly but i am sure you are too but you just dont see it. i challenge you to look at youself in the mirror and inside youself and find 5 things are sooo beautiful about you. that another girl would envy you for, brains, compassion, and other qualities count remember that.

Answer 9

These people are not perfect by any means...we would ALL look that hot if we had professional makeup and hair artists, not to mention that the photos in magazines are airbrushed to remove any imperfections. This is why the majority of them are not recognized if they take a walk down the street! Don't feel bad, what you see is an illusion.

Answer 10

Most of these celebrities and models don't look like that in real life honey. They airbrush the pictures and they have the best make-up artists/hairdressers etc around them. If all us normal people had the same we would look like that too. Try not to get dwon about it, if you saw these models first thing in the morning you would realise they are just like the rest of us!
