On television, in movies, online and magazine covers, our fave celebrity role models always look so pretty! But often times, a lot of times photoshopping, editing and makeup goes into making them look the so-called “picture of perfection.”

Is it ok for magazines and posters to photoshop and airbrush celebrities?
NO! Honestly, people look better with their pics NOT screwed up
Are these good role models for us to have?
People like Taylor Swift, yes, but if the star does these crazy, nasty diets, no
Do you like to wear makeup?
Mascara and this matching skin tone stuff, but I hardly wear the skin stuff
How does it make you feel about your body when you see an edited picture of a star?
Um Hello! I am a reasonable size in clothes! Not some 40 year old star who wears size 7/8 for kids! (That's what I wear besides 10/12 for kids Tong)
What are ways you can look and feel better without tons of makeup?
Tons of make up?! Hello! You'll just waste money right there! Just wear clothes and light shades of make up that look good on you. It works!

Do you have a suggestion for girls who feel bad about themselves when they see pictures of stars?

Yeah! just be yourself! BTW girls! You are all beautiful, so don't forget that! In fact, I am jealous of some of you girls out there 'cause some girls look good in everything! Tong

Is it ok for magazines and posters to photoshop and airbrush celebrities?
No.. why have girls look up to people who can't even look up to themselves?

Are these good role models for us to have?
No way, we can never achieve looking like that if you makes their legs stick thin.

Do you like to wear makeup?
Yes.. makes me feel better.

How does it make you feel about your body when you see an edited picture of a star?
It makes me feel self consciencous.. like I should look like that.

What are ways you can look and feel better without tons of makeup?
You can have a healthy lifestyle and remind yourself everyone is beautiful and GOD always loves you.

Do you have a suggestion for girls who feel bad about themselves when they see pictures of stars?
No, unfortunately.

-NEVER

Are these good role models for us to have?
-Sure, but it depends on who it is.

Do you like to wear makeup?
-Yeah, I guess

How does it make you feel about your body when you see an edited picture of a star?
-I feel beautiful because I know that that persons picture is fake and that they really don't look like that in person. And that all the pictures of me of the REAL me looking BEAUTIFUL.

What are ways you can look and feel better without tons of makeup?
-Who even needs more than two ounces of makeup? Thats my question...but always make sure you look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself "I am beautiful, no matter what anybody else says or thinks".

Do you have a suggestion for girls who feel bad about themselves when they see pictures of stars?
STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO THE STARS!! Think to yourself "Most pictures are edited...this probably isnt real...I'm beautiful and nothing can change that."

- It's kinda lame but I guess it's not that bad.

Are these good role models for us to have?

-No, some girls will look at them and try so hard to look at them and will feel ugly compared to them.

Do you like to wear makeup?

-Yeah, but not too much.

How does it make you feel about your body when you see an edited picture of a star?

-I actually sometimes look in the mirror and feel ugly.

What are ways you can look and feel better without tons of makeup?

-Just be happy with what you have and thereis no such thing as an ugly girl.

Do you have a suggestion for girls who feel bad about themselves when they see pictures of stars?

-Look, we all have bad days when we want to put a paper bag over our heads but celebs do too. They are just like us. In those pictures, the girls are wearing tons of make up and the photos are all editted. We can all look beautiful without that!
