This is one of the many reasons why women have such image issues. Not everyone has a touchup artist to clean up their flaws. It actually makes me sick to see stuff like this because I just *know* there are girls out there who think that perfection is the norm, and they will never obtain it. It's a horrible blow to someone who is entering that awful period of life known as "the teen years".
And, let's not leave men out, either. They get some touchup as well, but no where near the amount that women do. It's mainly skin tone touchups and some line removal.
Oh yeah, and the bizarre ones are where you can see they actually gave the models more curves. You have to love a society that promotes anorexia in their women, and yet then tells those women that not only are you not thin enough, you don't have enough curves, either. It's mind blowing.

Here's another site with more touch up pictures. Click on them to enlarge.
