It looks to me like they are wearing makeup in all of the pictures!
Perhaps a more accurate title for this thread would have been "with good lighting and without" or "with photoshop and without" or "good photography and bad photography".
???
Or maybe it's simply "flattering shot" and "unflattering shot"!
I'm a really cute girl, but I've seen some BAD pics of me! I don't use photo shop, but angle, pose, lighting and lens has a lot to do with the composition of a photo, and whether or not a person is flattered by the camera or not.
**Edit
When we are out partying, and taking pics...we always switch to a black and white or sepia photo: it's universally flattering, no matter how red in the face you are from booze, or what your makeup looks like at the end of the night! lol :wink:
