"The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw." - Havelock Ellis

We start each day with at least a glance in the mirror.  What we see is reality.  A face blessed with unique features though perhaps marred slightly by blemishes.  This face we each see in
the mirror is beautiful, but can we see that beauty?


For many that answer is NO!

Perhaps the reason for this lies in the faces we see when we aren't looking in the mirror. For the face in the mirror cannot compare to the faces on TV, in magazines, on bill-boards, on in-store advertisements, and even on the products we buy.

If you or your friends feel like you are on an unrelenting quest for the perfection you seem to see all around you...this Webquest is for you!
     For the faces we see in pictures all around us are not reality. 

     They are art.

     Created to showcase a "perfect" beauty
     that even the most beautiful woman can
     never hope to attain.

     A beauty free from all perceived flaws and  
     in some cases free even from the confines
     of nature.

     Want to find out how these "perfect" faces and bodies are 
     created and what you can do to stand up for "real" beauty?

     Start with your task and complete this quest to find out.

     Take me to my task!
