When I first read the phrase “make under” I had a hard time understanding it. You feel the same? Well, simply put, “make under” is the opposite of “make over”; and what’s a better tool than Adobe Photoshop to do some retouching and “make up” to the photo of celebrities to charm people while on TV, the internet or in magazines. Now touching has become a big business and more touching means more glamour and shine. Well, up to a point after which the people, celebrities in this case, look like they’re from another planet.
