All I can think is that the majority of the respondents to the journalist's request had absolutely no idea about makeup. (Gah, embarrassed for the Australian entry, too much blush and cool tone when the rest is warm? Errrk.)

As an Australian, I just died inside a little.
Rest of the world, I assure we do not aspire to achieve this 'beauty standard'

I mean, that blush and lippy combo...stunning! We all do this!

Exaxtly my point! Just because the "artist" that she hired found that beautiful, doesn't mean that is the idea of beauty of the rest of the people in his country. I mean just look at the USA one...oh god no...as an American I do not find that beautiful lol

TLDR: nothing. What the is the point of this? All they did was use a different filter
By the way, why has this been posted four times within the last two hours

Although there seems to be no point to this post, there is one conclusion that I can draw
Photoshoppers from different countries made her look like she was a person from their country...ETHNICALLY FAMILIAR.

USA looks horrible!

These mostly look pretty strange, but the US one -- wtf?

Not only is the photoshoping bad and I am sure my 5 year old brother can do a better job, but the point of the article is just pointless. The idea of beauty is that of the person that she sends it to, and I am sure that person doesn't automatically define the idea of beauty of his/her country. The pictures were pretty entertaining nonetheless lol

Do they mean Microsoft Paint?

Lol this is odd.
I dig the one from Kenya though. Somehow that blue eyeshadow rocks.

I don't understand the point of this article.

Just that there are slightly different ideas of what is beautiful in different countries.
Or that some people are really terrible with Photoshop.

There isn't one

terrible photoshop skills, smh.

Yeah, pretty sure one of the US photoshoppers also glitzes up 3 year old pageant contestants.

The "Philippines" portrayal of beauty is almost accurate. The editor has to make the brows a bit more arched and not too thick.

Who did she hire for these? These people aren't even that good with Photoshop.
Lol according to the project page, some of these people that she hired for photoshop are considered "experts in their field." lol. I feel like this was a cool concept but very poorly executed.
That's all i could think. I was especially disappointed at the u.s version. All i saw with these pictures was awful, awful Photoshop.
People on fiver aren't necessarily good at what they do, they're just doing freelance work. Not that freelance is bad, but there aren't quality requirements for fiver.
