We all have features we might not love. Some embrace it, while others go to different lengths to cover them or make them less obvious.
There are folk, however, who go to extreme measures to completely change their physical features.
每個人對自己的五官都有不滿意的地方。有的人選擇接受,而有的人則用不同的方式遮蓋或者淡化自身的缺點。
甚至是還有的人會用某些極端的手段讓自己的外貌完全發生改變。
Prosthetic make-up might make you think of special effects used in films but some people are using the stuff for their everyday look.
In a video posted on Twitter, a compilation shows various women using prosthetics and clay to their noses, as well as using contour make-up to change their jawlines, foreheads, and overall face shape.
The results make for some interesting viewing.
提到假體妝面,你可能一般想到的是電影當中的那些特效妝,但有人卻將這種材料用在日常妝容中。
推特上po出來的一個視頻裡匯集了很多不同女性使用假體或者是類似黏土的材料塑造自己的鼻子,用陰影高光修容以此改變下頜,額頭還有臉型。
這個視頻引發了很多有趣的討論。
The video begins with one woman using a pin to unpeel the layer of prosthetics moulded to her nose.
She then takes off the thick layer of light creams and foundations she’s wearing, as well as contacts, all of which achieve the pale, big-eyed anime look popular in Japanese cultures.
視頻開頭是一個人女人用針將她鼻子上的那層假體挑開,隨後她卸掉臉上塗得厚厚的遮瑕跟粉底,摘掉美瞳——正是這些東西打造出了日本文化中白皙,動漫大眼的流行妝容。
對此,推特上有網友評論說:
【哦千吶,這是瘋了吧!想像一下每天都要用黏土捏個鼻子出來也是夠了。】
普特君想說,不光你覺得夠了我也覺得夠夠的了,這種東西真的有人日常用嗎?要是為了出仿妝,或者拍照這麼做還可以理解,日常妝用的話,可能我們村才通網,我還不懂這種操作吧。
All the women in the video do a backward tutorial, taking off their make-up, wigs, and prosthetic noses.
Another commonality is the light skin. Once all of that is taken off, what’s left is their natural, Asian features.
視頻中的女性都做了相反的教程,卸妝,脫掉假髮,去除鼻子上的假體。
此外還有一件共性就是,他們都是淺色皮膚,一旦卸掉所有的偽裝,露出的就是他們原本的亞洲面孔。
Not only did some of the women sculpt their nose, they also alter their cheeks, chins, and ears.
Many Twitter users felt the women were deceiving them and giving men trust issues but a lot said makeup is one way we enhance or change our features but is ultimately harmless.
這些女人不僅僅能塑造鼻子,還可以改變臉頰,下巴以及耳朵的形狀。
有很多推特用戶認為這些女人欺騙了他們,會引發男人的信任危機,但還有相當多的人認為化妝只是提高或者蓋面五官的一種手段,從根本來說對人們是沒有惡意的。
