The Perfect Pretty Process DVD reveals, step-by-step, how to use and put on makeup so that it enhances each woman’s unique beauty.  Four women of different ethnicities and backgrounds – a business owner, an actress, an editor, and an artist – demonstrate the process while Apanasewicz explains just what to do and when.  While each of the women is lovely in her own way without makeup, their (unretouched) transformation using the Perfect Pretty Process is amazing.

From the beach to the red carpet, Apanasewicz transports each of her celebrity clients to a new level of beauty. Now, she can do that for every woman who wants to put her best face forward.

The Perfect Pretty Process will be available in early September 2009 for $29.95 plus shipping and handling.

Kelly  Clarkson

The American magazine Self has found itself in the middle of a controversy about the extent of digital photo manipulation it used in its recent cover featuring American Idol Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson. Clarkson, who is admittedly not “model thin” underwent the digital equivalent of major plastic surgery to appear on the cover of the September issue of Self.

In an ironic twist, the  magazine features an interview with Clarkson in which she acknowledges that she’s curvier than than a lot of stars, and she’s perfectly OK with it. She told Self, “I’ll be different sizes all the time. When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t. I’m fine!’ I’ve never felt uncomfortable on the red carpet or anything.”

Meanwhile the blogosphere is crackling with criticism of the extent that magazines go to for the sake of having the “perfect” cover. And apparently it isn’t just magazine editors who are in on the digital makeovers. A recent series of photo ads for London Fog featuring Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen managed to edit away not just the odd line or blemish, but underwear and Bundchen’s pregnant midsection.
