Woman Had Her Face Photoshopped In More Than 25 Countries To Compare Their Beauty Standards

U.S.-based journalist and photographer Esther Honig came up with an interesting photo project that answers a difficult question in an ingenious way � how can we compare standards of women�s beauty world-wide?

Honig�s solution was brilliantly simple: she sent a portrait photo of herself to freelance Photoshoppers in countries around the world with one request � to make her �beautiful.� Each Photoshopper, be they a professional or an amateur, took their own spin on the assignment, giving Honig (and us) a glimpse at what at least one person in each of these countries considers to be beautiful. Honig�s face subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) shifts, changing form and color as it travels around the world.

Which photo matches your own personal definition of beauty?
