When I watch beauty videos online

When I go online and watch beauty videos, I am getting a different look at things!

 

Seeing the products on television looks way different than when I watch the video.  And not in a good way.

 

I watched the TSV (Doll 10), and on my computer, the models look horrible.  I can see every line, pore, and imperfection, and takes away my interest in the product!

 

My computer is just an average one, not terribly expensive.  The models don't look nearly as good as what I see on television.

 

Does anyone else have this experience also?

I have a pretty good TV and eyesight.........and I can't tell the difference between the "befores" and "afters".............with the wrinkle stuff.

 

Now, as for hair...........those "befores" would look a whole lot better if somebody took a brush to them............     I look pretty wild after I get out of the shower, too............and I don't need all kinds of appliances to fix it up.

I can only watch QVC through the internet as QVC isn't carried on Canadian cable. I have watched the videos and live feeds via the QVC app and via the IE11 browser on my desktop or via the Safari browser on my ipad2 and ipad mini and the HD quality of the videos and live feeds via the QVC app are usually very good. The videos and live feeds via a browser aren't as sharp though.

 

And in HD every line shows as the camera filters go on and off and when they go off every wrinkle shows. It's especially noticeable when there's sun damaged skin as those wrinkles look like canyons.

Ways to make yourself look bad:

 

1.  Store mirror with fluorescent lights

 

2.  Car mirror in the sun

 

This sort of ties in.  Moral:  don't do any of this.  I put in good makeup lighting in the bathroom of house we built 10 years ago, it gives me confidence when leaving the house.  If I thought I looked like I do in Kohl's all the time I'd spend my life in the bedroom.
