Sometimes, some people are just too damn perfect! Take for instance this latest ad from Lancome that showcases Julia Roberts as it’s spokesperson. This ad is currently being banned in the UK for being “overly photoshopped”.
This ruling demonstrates that the advertising regulator is acknowledging the dishonest and misleading nature of excessive retouching. Pictures of flawless skin and super-slim bodies are all around, but they don’t reflect reality.
The spread, shot by Mario Testino, shows 43-year-old Roberts glowing and fresh-faced, the result of having used Lancome’s Teint Miracle foundation. The ad claims the foundation “recreates the aura of perfect skin.”
