- Plus-Size Woman Asks 21 Photoshop Pros to Make Her Beautiful in Their Countries’ Aesthetics
The relationship between weight and beauty is quite obviously one that varies from person to person — so when we begin discussing it in terms of nation to nation, lines get blurred.

What would they do with these traits? Would they all slim me down in the aid of “making me look beautiful”? Would they fiddle with my messy hair? How would they see me, as a plus-size woman, and how would they “fix” me? What would they make of my face without makeup, in its tired, “just woke up” state? One editor said, “You have weird face.

All I asked was for them to make me look beautiful, whilst keeping in mind the looks they see in the fashion/beauty mags of their countries. They were each compensated with $5–30, the amount always set by the editor him/herself. And so, here’s what “beauty” means to all of them.
