Agreed. Her eyebrows are also way too neat.

Find an attractive young gal who's been backpacking for a year, that would be a better representation. Smooth, hydrated skin, and cosmetic grooming seem a step too far. I mean unless the photo is if we extracted DNA from the skull and cloned this person, this is what she'd look like now in which case, yeah ok, let's make her!

People made tweezers to pluck body hair as early as ancient Greece. Cosmetic grooming is much older than you think.

Yes - it annoys me that they always give women plucked eyebrows in these things - even although that wasn't a practice.
