A L’Oreal advert featuring a digitally retouched image of actress Rachel Weisz has been banned by the British advertising watchdog after a complaint from an MP.
...
“The banning of this advert, along with the previous ASA rulings banning heavily retouched ads featuring Twiggy, Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington, should act as a wake-up call.

I used to have a girlfriend who looked like Rachel Weisz.

I have nothing to say about the story. Thanks for reading.

I'd say after. There's no way Rachel would have look as good as my girlfriend without it.

I've mailed her asking for permission. She doesn't live around here anymore, so we might get lucky. In the meantime, just schlick to photos of Rachel, it's not a bad substitute.

You would think she is the one lady who definitely wouldn't need any photoshop.

could probably be turned into a race thing. it's the same issue though when every model is made look more tanned.

I've never studied her, looked at many photos or thought too much about the issue, but it shows how pervasive it is that I would have thought her natural look is the one on the left.

but every picture you've seen of her has been photoshopped, so how do you know she doesn't 'need' it?

Yeah
I suppose I don't, I was going to post I seen her on live TV but again she was probably made up by leonardo da vinci skilled make up artist.

But with the image I have of her, I think she is perfect.

Nice one, maybe now we won't see so many girls out at the weekends that are clearly photoshopped to fcuk - was getting on my nerves of late.

These cosmetics companies are extremely careful to avoid claiming that their products actually do anything. A wrinkle cream won't remove wrinkles, it will "reduce the appearance of wrinkles". An anti-aging cream will work on the "signs of aging". If you think about what that means ... it means that those products are basically make-up. A Kabuki mask will reduce the appearance of aging. :rolleyes:
