Do YOU believe these before and afters? On a website selling a wrinkle product.

I personally think is is a sham.... and really doubt these people approved their picture being used.... it looks like photoshopping big time.

A lot depends on the lighting, etc., although the Ellen pic is definitely photoshopped.....anyway, it's probably illegal to use their photos on a website unless they are being compensated.

I have seen Ellen closeup on HD TV and she does look more like the before with all the wrinkles.... I still think she is cute, but, she does have a lot of skin issues.

Of course I DONT believe it! The pictures are photo shopped to disillusion people. Also, they use filters on TV to make everyone look good.

no way do I believe it, no way

Yes, I do. I think the before photos were taken when the women were without makeup and the lighting was particularly bad and they weren't aware they were being photographed. The afters, of course, are professional pictures taken after a team of makeup pros worked on them and even then, the pictures were enhanced.

Good lighting, makeup and photoshopping to make one look great.

Bad lighting, no makeup and photoshopping to make one look even worse.

No, I never believe those ads. I might look at them , but I don't necessarily believe them.

This, absolutely. No legitimate company is going to use those photos as their before and after images. There's more than photoshop involved, there's makeup, different circumstances, different lighting, and so many other things.

No legitimate company is going to use an unauthorized image of a celebrity as an endorsement and no legitimate company is going to use a tabloid image of a makeup-free out getting coffee as a before and a promotional image or picture from a red carpet as the after. Total scam.
