Not sure if the local Sephora has it.

Photoshoppaholic

My name is Naomi and I am a Photoshoppaholic.

Aly mx and I went to Zouk for Mambo night last Wednesday. It was super dooper fun in a stay-out-late-till-wee-hours-of-the-morning-exciting kind of way, but also not really what I'm into. I think I'm more a drinking game/pub crawling kinda person.

Anyway, this post isn't about that. It's about my latest obsession (besides makeup, lack of funds is curbing that). I wanted to update the photograph on my youtube page so I took this as an opportunity to embellish the picture as much as possible (No one I know will see it).

Xiaxue mentioned that she used photoshop brushes to add eyelashes to her pictures. If brushes sound familiar to you, it's also what people use to design blog skins so it's often under the credits.

So I search for it and I find this site: Obsidian Dawn

It's an amazing site. It has so many brush sets and really easy instructions on how to install them into your photoshop program (yeah you need to have photoshop :\)

Up till this point, photoshopping pictures meant removing a few blemishes (resulting in weird light spots everywhere) and giving myself liposuction and boob jobs (resulting in disproportionate body parts).

After playing around with the brushes a little, here's what I got:

O.O

See this is why people should never photoshop pictures of themselves. (Or maybe it's just me)

I never know when to stop and I think I shrank my nose too much.

When Hannah saw the picture she thought my mouth looked weird. THAT is not a result of excessive photoshopping. It's just my weird too tight smile. I guess maybe it's a combination of factors that cause it to not resemble me.

These were pre-brushes. All taken using Aly's camera on Mambo night (hence the intro).

The excessively photoshopped picture of me right on top was from the one with me and mx. In the above 2 pictures I only trimmed some arm chub away and maybe a little of the jaw. But it still resembles me. Add the eyelashes and... KABOOM! plastic doll.

That was all done last night.

Tonight I decided to try someone else...

Nice right??

I think I did a pretty good job for an amateur, if I may say so myself.

That's also a bane of my life. I'm a jack of all trades. I like to pride myself in the fact that I can be an expert among beginners because I pick up things fast, however I never have the perseverance, vision, ambition to push further and mould it into a career. That's why throughout my entire life people have been telling me "I have potential". You'd think that's praise right?

Not for me it isn't. It's a constant reminder that I always fail to maximise my 'potential'. Then, there are also times I doubt whether there's really potential, or just seems so and is actually the best I can do. Those are my wrist-slashing days...

... JUST KIDDING! That was me meager attempt at injecting some humour into this thing. Phooey, how did this get so heavy. Ah well. Must be the fact that I'm sleep and socially deprived. I really need to join a CCA next year. Or maybe join a class in a CC. Anything to expand my circle a little. Even my dad's voicing concerns about a lack of boyfriend activity (any takers? nah I'm kidding. REALLY).

Hooby dooby doo, right, I think I shall be off to bed now. If you've actually made it all the way here, let me extend a hearty congratulation.

Good Night folks.

and this is Naomi signing out. ❤
