Because Julia Roberts wasn't beautiful enough: Star among celebs whose ads were banned over airbrushing

By Sean Poulter

They were hired for their beauty. But it seems that Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington weren’t quite beautiful enough for L’Oreal.

Pictures of them were digitally altered to make their skin appear even more flawless in advertisements for the beauty firm.

Both ads have been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority after complaints that they were misleading.

1. This is a surprise? It's been happening for decades,

long before digital retouching.

10. Not a surprise. Yes it's been done, but it's more extreme these days.

2. I think they both look better before air brushing. The air brushed picts

don't look real. They look more like what a rubber dolls than people.

7. "rubber dolls" Yes! That's it!

That's exactly what all the magazine people look like!

[Bonhomme Richard]

3. Wow, Noticed they both have the same nose and lips. n/t

[Starry Messenger]

12. Same doctor probably.

Sad that they both have such awful trout pout. If they are going to photoshop you anyway, why destroy your looks with the knife and collagen?

4. Let me say up-front that I believe both these women are beautiful even without airbrushing

but I consider touch-up work in the advertisement of beauty products to be dishonest.

[lumpy]

5. Advertizing is all about convoluting the truth. Call it lies if you

want.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. Um, yeah. It's lying.

[hunter]

6. With all the photoshopping they do in this kind of advertising...

... they might as well use a computer model.

Someone like Christy Turlington or Julia Roberts wouldn't even have to show up to have their pictures taken. The advertising company could simply download their digital models and render the image anyway they pleased.

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. yep.

9. Kicked and Recommended

Cookie-cutter women do not interest me. I'll take Katie Segal over Christina Applegate anytime!

[Phentex]

13. I love the ones who use 20 somethings to sell wrinkle cream...

or face wash and claim everyone can have that skin!

14. Rec.

15. lol. They edited out everything on Julie's face that made it interesting.

Her nose bridge bump and slightly off center nose and chin dimples and her extra-long ear lobes are also gone.

I suppose they'd also alter her nature, explosive guffaw laughter to a girlish, acceptable twitter.
