FACE MASHUP FULL

I think the thing that bothers me the most is that it says that there really is one standard of beauty, and that by combining two already hot people, you can fill in one celebrity's natural 'flaws' with another's strengths and, ta da! - perfect human being. Can you imagine what the results would be Well Instagram user gesichtermix is a master of mashing up our favourite celebrity faces and the results are astounding. Now imagine if they faces of our favourite celebrities were mashed up and we get a celebrity face mashup. I love a good Photoshop trick as much as anyone else, but I'm starting to feel weird about the whole bizarre Frankenstein experiment the celebrity combos are turning into. Admit it, we all love celebrities and we have our favourites. This face combo may create a gorgeous (if, uh, nonexistent) person, but it's also a sad reminder that no matter how beautiful a celebrity is, the world will try very hard to beat the standard. Quite frankly, the need for a hotter, better woman is getting old, but that doesn't stop the Internet from creating things like the recent Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence combo. Unfortunately, the latest face-blending work isn't done out of novelty - it's done so we can all ogle over the supreme hotness of combining two already beautiful celebrities into the Most Beautiful Woman on the Planet. It was a pretty neat trick - 'Jennifer Watson' really did look like the impossible child of everyone's favorite YA heroines.

I'm not exactly sure when the trend of digitally combining two celebrity faces together started, but the first instance that I remember was the mashup of Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson's faces.
