    Why do cover girls in magazines always look perfect?
    Maggie Greene takes a look at the world of models and magazines
    — and the computers which help them achieve perfection. Tall and slim, with perfect skin and glossy dark hair, pop star and TV presenter Alesha Dixon is naturally beautiful. But it seems that even she is not good - looking enough to appear in magazines without some help from a computer. Her own experience led Alesha to investigate airbrushing: how photos of celebrities and modelsare changed to make them more perfect. I was horrified by what she discovered. The evidence, I'm sure you'll agree, is upsetting. Alesha decided to make a television programme to understand the issue of airbrushing when she noticed a contradiction: people say they like 'natural' beauty, but magazines mostly show 'unnatural' beauty. During her investigations, Alesha discovered that almost all photos in magazines are 'improved' by computers. She found that if you don't agree to airbrushing, magazines won't print photos of you. Magazines are under pressure: they know that if their models look perfect, they will sell more copies. There is pressure, too, from the celebrities themselves: a model or celebrity will be more successful if she looks good. She will be even more successful if she looks perfect. Many
    airbr ushed photos of Alesha herself have appeared in magazines. She admits she looks better after some digital changes: for example, with slimmer legs and better skin. In my opinion, however, the real danger is not for celebrities, but for ordinary young people. There is a huge pressure for women — and men — to be tall, slim and good - looking. The evidence that Alesha discovered was that airbrushing is increasing this pressure. While making her programme, she talked to young people about beauty. Many
    of them are de sperate to be like the pictures they see in magazines. Most of them, however, have no idea that the pictures aren't real. Looking perfect is a multi - million dollar business for the magazine industry. And it seems that if magazines want to continue to make money, they will have
    to continue to ignore the dangers of putting pressure on young people to look perfect.
