How do perceptions of beauty vary across the globe?

From that simple question, the idea for this study was born. We asked female graphic designers from around the world to Photoshop a female form by making her, in their opinion, more attractive to other citizens of their country.

Widely held perceptions of beauty and perfection can have a deep and lasting cultural impact on both women and men. The goal of this project is to better understand potentially unrealistic standards of beauty and to see how such pressures vary around the world.

The resulting submissions are intriguing.

Colombia did... the hair changed along with the boobs and waist a little.

The Chinese one was amateurish and made her look ghastly.

Yah bad job of photo shop.
None of them appeal to me
There is Lot more that makes a wen appealing .. then one pose..One hight ..and one face ..
It the way people are uniquely different . That where you fine the look..The figure..and the attitude that we each fine that we are drawn to.

I think it's more of a statement of the photoshopper's skill and aesthetic sense, rather than a statement on the perception of beauty. Some of the examples are just ghastly - look more like crude copy and paste jobs than actual photoshop.
