/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

As for the actual photoshopping, this is where it gets shameful. I aim for subtlety (or things I can change that people won't necessarily notice much difference in), but I think the result just makes people put me on an even higher pedestal for when we meet irl.
>round face
I push in my lower cheeks to give me more of a heart shaped face. I have such fat cheeks.
>acne
I wear a layer of foundation everyday. Literally. In reality I look like a constant cakeface and it's so obvious that it doesn't blend well with my skin, but for some reason in pictures my makeup blends perfect. I get that smooth, even complexion you see in magazines. Yet I still manage to get a few red dots seeping through my mask. I touch up those and lighten my skin.
>ankles
I noticed that no matter how fat you are, if people can see you have thin ankles versus your calves they're a lot less inclined to think you're as heavy as you say. So I push in my ankles to make them look smaller.
I do the same for my wrists and arms.
And I usually give my waist a push in too.
>the photo itself
I stretch and push in the dimensions to make myself seem taller and thinner.


However there's just nothing anyone can say that can make me feel worse about it than I already do. I like the image I created of myself more than I like the real me....and what hurts most is that so does everyone else.
