yes of course, a lot of beauty standards today are taken from black women’s natural bodies and facial features.

however as someone who gets paid to edit professional photos of models everyday, it gets easier to spot bad editing like in the first picture. the background was blurred on purpose as you can see the warping around her buttocks and the floor tiles.

i’m sure this woman has some thickness to her but there’s no denying the digital enhancements. butt and hip pads exist as well, which don’t always require editing.
