After Seeing These 22 Women Remove Their Makeup You Will Never Be Able To Trust Anyone Again
It's a fact that beauty standards and different perceptions vary a lot across the world, not to mention that each person has his own understanding. After the rise of social media, the cult of beauty trends became so important that some people even go an extra mile to look pretty just for the appearance on the internet.
So what defines beauty? In some parts of the world, it's the Rubenesque full figured woman, in others - bushy brows and dark hair. In some parts of Asia, e.g., China, some people reach the whole new level of creativity regarding the definition of beauty. The new Asian makeup fad is to look as delicate as porcelain dolls. And though the porcelain doll makeup look is nothing new, these girls here take it very seriously. Application of professional makeup now means not only highlighting their existing features but also creating new ones with the help of fake skin extensions, false eyelashes, and even special effects makeup.
The video below, that went viral a few days ago, shows the process of Asian girls removing their "sculpted" faces, and most of them become completely unrecognizable. Scroll down to see the makeup transformations for yourself and let me know your opinion about this in the comments below! (h/t)

I think they use silicon or tape to draw back their cheeks and chins to get smaller angular look. Not sure tho
Aunt Messy 7 years ago
Movie actresses in America have been doing that since silent film days. Many actresses (including Joan Crawford) had their back teeth pulled so that their cheeks would sink and they'd look like they had higher cheekbones. ... This is nothing new.

Can people stop using the word "Trust" when describing these kind of posts? It really feels like linking aesthetics to character in a very weird way. "You would prefer your face look different and found a way to accomplish that, so you're not a trustworthy person." And it completely encourages the type of behavior your criticizing when you'd rather women not be so "fake" with their appearance but you have such a negative reaction to their real faces that it shatters your entire world view and system of "trust" in other people. Also, what's wrong with you that a woman's face shatters your entire world view and system of "trust"?
Jace 7 years ago
Fully agreed. That whole "can't trust women for makeup" thing is a toxic meme. Shame on this contributor for using that language. It could have easily taken the approach of cosplay and theatre (which is what this level of "makeup" is about). When it comes to makeup, women can't f*****g win. It's either "they're being fake/lying" or "they must wear makeup for us".

Without fail, I personally think, every one of these woman look much better w/o any make-up, that of course, is only my opinion. To each their own, if they like it and they feel good with it on, nothing wrong with that either. And if you're just looking for beauty on the outside then, I don't care what a woman or man looks like, looks change, you'll never be satisfied looking only on the outside..Added thought here (again my own personal feelings) I have always been super turned off by a guy that cat calls me or notices my looks excessively.

These women are all beautiful the way they are without makeup! I blame Photoshop, videogames, and media editing for putting unrealistic expectations onto these women (and men, because I know some Asian men feel pressured to go this far too). Trust issues. If any of you think that a human being actually looks like a woodland elf, you're spending too much time on the computer. If you think that a human being has skin that unnaturally white, you're kidding yourself. These poor women are impacting their breathing so they can look like this, by putting a larger nose into an unreasonably small prosthetic. When you look at their heads vs. their bodies, you can see that the proportions are off; you're the ones lying to yourselves.

This article is a disappointment. You literally should try wording it better, because you came off as an a*****e. So, you don't want us to wear makeup because it's fake but if we show our real faces you criticize. Amazing logic. Furthermore, it's not anyone's choice what they do but theirs. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you're so f*****g r******d that you can't tell the difference between makeup and no makeup, I feel sorry for you. Honestly.

This is posted as makeup but it's about the equivalent of prosthetics. Were these originally intended as 'makeup' or meant for Cos play or those transformation videos where someone paints themselves up as living skeletons etc? My other thought is that if this is seriously meant as makeup /personal transformation then I'd much rather they did it this way than with the ridiculous plastic surgery that's being done now. I'm thinking like the human Ken doll guy, Barbie woman, that woman who used plastic surgery to look (nothing!) like Angelina Jolie etc. At least these ladies can peel off the face at the end of the day. I've never worn makeup, what you see is what you get, the end with me 😊

Actually many efforts are done by some mobile applications, not only make-ups. Try to search "B612" or "meitu" on the appstore (but I am not sure if they are accessible on your local app stores) you will definitely find out that those apps rebuild your face, enlarge your eyes and make your skin white (most of us don't like tan honestly... just cultural difference). So I am here just to say, make-up is useful, but after effects matter too.

I have always told my husband, that if men could see all these girls that they think are so "hot" without all that makeup or "help", they would REALLY be shocked. If I were a guy, I would be very leery about choosing someone because of the way they look because they will probably be in for a real shock. Anybody can look good when you cover up what you really look like. It's very deceiving.

As a westerner living in China I am familiar with this competitive art form practiced by bored super rich girls, there are far more of them than outsiders think, for "likes" on the local equivilants of Facebook etc. The point is to make the most drastic change possible to make people take notice of you.

Imagine hating your face so much that you will do anything to change it? Surgery and having your bones ground down to change your facial structure, or if you can't afford it wearing prosthetics daily. How sad is that? Although I'm not sure you can really change the shape of your jaw with tape...

Perhaps their beauty ideals have been influenced by Manga and Anime, because that is how the 1st photos look. It could be that these are actually cosplay type characters, because I can't imagine anyone using that type of makeup on a regular basis. Those things in their eyes must be painful.

This obsession with alien sized eyeballs has got to go! I understand they are trying to mimic the way anime eyes look. And I get that they are trying to do things they see as more pretty. Everything they did was really neat to see it peeled off. But they are not 2d animations. Their eyes have depth. So making them bigger is just so freaky. I can't enjoy the work they have done.

The tape is to hold the flesh around the jaw upwards, to create an illusion of a slimmer face. Quite genius, actually!

Without fail, I personally think, every one of these woman look much better w/o any make-up, that of course, is only my opinion. To each their own, if they like it and they feel good with it on, nothing wrong with that either. And if you're just looking for beauty on the outside then, I don't care what a woman or man looks like, looks change, you'll never be satisfied looking only on the outside..Added thought here (again my own personal feelings) I have always been super turned off by a guy that cat calls me or notices my looks excessively.

I don't think that most of the people commenting here understand what is going on. This is cosplay. They are purposely trying to look like anime. It's a thing. Don't reflect your own culture on these girls. Their skills at makeup are wicked!

I used to live in Korea and remember all the ads for plastic surgery everywhere in the metro... Creepy ads with a normal-looking (preferably on the ugly side according to their standards) woman on the left hand side and some alien-looking doll on the other. I was shocked most of the time, thinking of all the suffering these women must go through just to have a tiny hope of success in this very elitist society... SAD.

I admire the talent to be able to use makeup and prosthetics this way. I only hope that this is just done for the camera, and that this isn’t a daily routine for these girls. All of them look way better after removing this Halloween mask stuff.

These women are all beautiful the way they are without makeup! I blame Photoshop, videogames, and media editing for putting unrealistic expectations onto these women (and men, because I know some Asian men feel pressured to go this far too). Trust issues. If any of you think that a human being actually looks like a woodland elf, you're spending too much time on the computer. If you think that a human being has skin that unnaturally white, you're kidding yourself. These poor women are impacting their breathing so they can look like this, by putting a larger nose into an unreasonably small prosthetic. When you look at their heads vs. their bodies, you can see that the proportions are off; you're the ones lying to yourselves.

This article is a disappointment. You literally should try wording it better, because you came off as an a*****e. So, you don't want us to wear makeup because it's fake but if we show our real faces you criticize. Amazing logic. Furthermore, it's not anyone's choice what they do but theirs. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you're so f*****g r******d that you can't tell the difference between makeup and no makeup, I feel sorry for you. Honestly.

This is posted as makeup but it's about the equivalent of prosthetics. Were these originally intended as 'makeup' or meant for Cos play or those transformation videos where someone paints themselves up as living skeletons etc? My other thought is that if this is seriously meant as makeup /personal transformation then I'd much rather they did it this way than with the ridiculous plastic surgery that's being done now. I'm thinking like the human Ken doll guy, Barbie woman, that woman who used plastic surgery to look (nothing!) like Angelina Jolie etc. At least these ladies can peel off the face at the end of the day. I've never worn makeup, what you see is what you get, the end with me 😊

Half of the comments for the photos consist of some form of confusion as to why somebody would care that much about their looks? The other half is judging these women entirely based on their looks. Need I say more?

Actually many efforts are done by some mobile applications, not only make-ups. Try to search "B612" or "meitu" on the appstore (but I am not sure if they are accessible on your local app stores) you will definitely find out that those apps rebuild your face, enlarge your eyes and make your skin white (most of us don't like tan honestly... just cultural difference). So I am here just to say, make-up is useful, but after effects matter too.

I have always told my husband, that if men could see all these girls that they think are so "hot" without all that makeup or "help", they would REALLY be shocked. If I were a guy, I would be very leery about choosing someone because of the way they look because they will probably be in for a real shock. Anybody can look good when you cover up what you really look like. It's very deceiving.

As a westerner living in China I am familiar with this competitive art form practiced by bored super rich girls, there are far more of them than outsiders think, for "likes" on the local equivilants of Facebook etc. The point is to make the most drastic change possible to make people take notice of you. It takes time and talent to learn to do it right.

This made me sad to see all these women changing their look so drastically. A lot of the photos without makeup, you could see that they felt uncomfortable and didn't like they way they looked and that's really sad. They are all beautiful without all the makeup and tape.

Imagine hating your face so much that you will do anything to change it? Surgery and having your bones ground down to change your facial structure, or if you can't afford it wearing prosthetics daily. How sad is that? Although I'm not sure you can really change the shape of your jaw with tape...

These models, when made up, all look similar following the Manga Cartoon look. I have always said to others : You should still be recognizable if you don't have any on. Make-Up is supposed to enhance you Not Disguise You.
Jackie Butts 7 years ago
Perhaps their beauty ideals have been influenced by Manga and Anime, because that is how the 1st photos look. It could be that these are actually cosplay type characters, because I can't imagine anyone using that type of makeup on a regular basis. Those things in their eyes must be painful.

As a goth kid when I was young (50 now) it was fun to play with make up. It can be a very creative artistic way of expressing yourself, but no one should feel like they HAVE to wear it, or look like a doll!! I find that vaguely icky...

I really hate how all these extreme makeup videos are only Asians. I know they're notorious for this look because they want to look Caucasian, but this really isn't sending across a good message. Asian girls in America are already insecure that makeup tutorials usually aren't made for them.

Why? This is no different than watching genre TV where actors wear prosthetics to appear different from their natural faces. These women seem to be extreme cosplay participants. I highly doubt this level of facial change is even remotely normal for daily life.

This obsession with alien sized eyeballs has got to go! I understand they are trying to mimic the way anime eyes look. And I get that they are trying to do things they see as more pretty. Everything they did was really neat to see it peeled off. But they are not 2d animations. Their eyes have depth. So making them bigger is just so freaky. I can't enjoy the work they have done.
