Amazing Anime Makeover

Oh good lord those contact lenses are CREEEEEEEEPY.
Educational video, tho.

no way is that the same person. If you look past the cosmetic stuff it's kind of obvious. Her nostrils are not as wide and her chin is a lot more pointy and defined. She also looks like she lost 10-20 pounds in her face.
I call bullshit on this one. I will admit the makeover is pretty cool but no way it's te same person.

I think the girl lost weight, stayed out of the sun or used fairness/lightness cream and lighter toned foundation. But I'm pretty sure she must have some cosmetic procedures done like teeth whitening [she never volunteered to show teeth in the before shots]; some sort of facial hair removal over her top lip--perhaps laser as opposed to waxing; bottom lip now sports a cleft in the middle?

As others above have pointed out, the most glaring issue with the cheek and jawbone structure. Losing weight could reduce the size *maybe* by a little bit, but what we're seeing here is a drastic reduction possible only through plastic surgery or, as many (myself included) are led to believe, another girl standing in for the video/slideshow.

What kinda annoys me, too, is the over-adjustment of the contrast. I realize it's to create the pale-skinned look of anime, but geez, it makes it a bit more obvious that some level of photoshopping is going on here.

Well, it's established that it cannot be the same girl (either that or Photoshop must be the main culprit).

The makeover idea is pretty cool--with the eye thing. The contacts and glue. The makeup. Anyone else thinking of actually trying this? Cosplayers might go mad if they discover this...eh, maybe they already have.

I don't think it's the same person.

Maybe it is, only if this makeover process took for about 3-4 months. Maybe more.
If so, then the makeover process must have included the ''A'' girl losing weight, and once she did, either she had surgery for her face or it's just photoshopped completely.

The Jaw is SO different, and so are the cheekbones, I dunno. And her skin is more paler, notice? But with the skin subject, that can easily be changed with the sun and/or lightness.

Anyway, it seems fake, but who knows? If it is, then I would DEFINITELY want a makeover, too! ;D Just without those Big-black-eye contacts. Scary. -shivers-

Angle is probably to blame for the pointier looking chin. Also, I think the reason she took the pictures is because Anime characters have pointy chins.
From an artistic point of view, I think there may have been some plastic surgery involved.
Even if it's a different person, that's pretty cool. I am a cosplayer myself, but I don't think I'd be able to pull that off. It's amazing though, and I might try some contacts like that.
