Photoshop - blessing or curse?


Let's capture this moment to treasure forever! Click! Oh no...I look terrible :(
Wait...
No problem!
Everyone's best friend is here to save the moment! Let me introduce Miss Photoshop! Every girl's best friend.

Sometimes we capture a moment in the wrong way and photoshop fixes the problem -or one of the many photo enhancing apps to immediately retouch our flaws.

What a great thing! .... Well sort of...

Photoshop is a great thing but like plastic surgery should be used wisely and never overused. One can easily see if a picture is a bit too much photoshopped and there's nothing worse than seeing someone and thinking "Oh my God he/she looks nothing like his/her pictures" usually ending with a "looks much older/uglier/bigger".

As we all grow older is tough to accept age and all that comes with it but honestly no matter what we do, no matter how much photoshop, our age is our age and there's nothing more beautiful than aging gracefully accepting our flaws.
We should all die old and happy and just a little photoshop doesn't hurt anyone :)

Rules for enhancing:
- Do not overdo it
- Make sure face and neck are both enhanced :)
- Make sure face, neck and hands are all enhanced :)
- Barbie skin is for barbie only :)

Here are some examples of too much and just enough photoshop enjoy.

Marsala - Pantone Color of 2015



And since we are approaching 2015 in speed light lets have a quick look at Pantone’s color of the new year.





The announced color is Marsala described by Pantone as the color of chocolate or a robust and earthy wine and by many as a reddish-brown hue.

The sophisticated hue works well with many skin types I personally think it looks even better on darker skins. 
Marsala is sultry and subtle and highlights enormously the cheeks.  Works beautifully in lips, nails and shadows.

Lets have a look at some of my favorite Marsala picks for the new year.
