Have you ever looked at Slephora's content and thought "Wow! Their sims look really good! So realistic!"? Well, that's because they are! Slephora is over here using the images of real life models to showcase her Sims 4 makeup!
As I say with all my other posts, I cannot make this shit up!
A little birdie put two and two together and sent me some screenshots and then I did my own reverse google image search and I oop:
And that's not all! This is the one that got me:
This is the one time that I'm genuinely confused as to why you're doing what you're doing. Everything that I've talked about so far makes some level of sense (whether it be moral or not). This. This one is beyond me!
Why would you go through all the trouble of using google images and photoshop when there are plenty of people who will gladly model sims and makeup for you! There's a whole niche of digital models out there! And you're mutuals with the big one, Vous. They have over 6k followers and you couldn't have asked one of them to model some make up for you? People be hollerin all the time that they don't have enough modeling opportunities and here you are using someone else's pictures and photoshop.
Good luck trying to finesse your way out of this one! Here's two things you could've done instead of what you did:
A: Make your own sims and have them model your content
B: Have someone else's sims model your content
It's truly that simple. The hell you messin with photoshop for? #MakeItMakeSense
This also false advertising! Like, how are you gonna use a photoshopped image of a real persons face to showcase digital makeup that will be used on digital people? Once again, #MakeItMakeSense
You got all of the sims and blender and this is the best you can do? I need you to do better Slephora. Cause right now, you're lookin very aliexpress
And then look at who they're friends with......
Tells you everything you need to know really. Privacy invasion, Identity theft, it's all the same to them and they don't care. They honestly don't. Empathy is not a member of their chat. Empathy left the building a long time ago and hasn't been back since!
Bergdorf still hasn't apologized or formally acknowledged the situation. She gave this petty response on her patreon and that's about it
"I am not part of any group" - Bergdorf, 2022
At this point, why even lie? Anto already spilled the beans!
And the people coming into my dms telling me that their name on the list just solidifies it's existence, so what exactly are you doing here?
You know what I see? A lack of empathy and remorse. Shit, even Anto "felt bad" about what he did. His response was important just for this very reason. Bergdorf feels nothing. She's invading your privacy without your consent and she still gets a good nights sleep! Meanwhile her followers are stressed and pressed.
This chaos was going on you know what she did? Kept on posting as usual. Acting like it wasn't happening. Even busted ass James Charles can make some form of apology video. You could at least pretend that you have a conscious
That's a symptom of a bigger issue at hand. Bergdorf needs professional help. I think that can be said for some creators as well. No rationally thinking, mentally sound person is doing the things that y'all do!
Just in case Bergdorf is downplaying the seriousness of the situation, Apple made a whole commercial about protecting your data:
It's not "Just an email"
TL;DR:
Slephora is showcasing their makeup on those models but what she is advertising is a skin. She makes skins by taking the face of a real person and editing it in photoshop. It even says it’s a skin on that first image. They actually look as advertised in game too.
