Yes! It's the same woman you're looking at, only with a bit of make-up here and there and some light photoshop tricks... or not.

The vast difference between the two images are incredibly startling and we can't help but be amazed but horrified that this is what technology nowadays.

These images are actually taken from a 36-second clip — which is an edited version of Global Democracy's campaign video that first appeared on YouTube well over a year ago but has recently resurfaced. The video showed an average looking woman transform into a blonde bombshell with just some make-up and tinkering through photoshop. The end result is a Barbie like woman with longer neck, arms and legs. She also has a smaller waist line, bigger eyes and flawless, glowing skin.

This video has been used to raise awareness against fake beauty and the use of technical means in order to change one's appearance. A breath of fresh air really!
