I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Julia Roberts’ L'Oreal Ad Banned for Deception! Julie Roberts’ L'Oreal Ad has been Banned in the UK because it was airbrushed too much. I say hurray for the UK! We need to to this in the States. Julie Roberts is plenty pretty enough, you don’t have to make her look THAT perfect. What message does this give women? Some may buy the product, but most of us will just give up! For their part, L'Oreal defended their photos but did admit they were "digitally retouched to lighten the skin, clean up makeup, reduce dark shadows and shading around the eyes, smooth the lips and darken the eyebrows." Read more: Julia Roberts' Phony Face: L'Oreal Ad Banned for Deception | Suite101.com Here's her ad picture, and a regular picture of Julia. What do you all think?

| Eh, I don't know. Basically every picture in every magazine is airbrushed. It's completely normal and not uncommon in Hollywood. It sucks but it's the way it is. If they ban this one, why not ban ALL advertisements with models? Because they are ALL airbrushed. This photo doesn't look *extremely* airbrushed to me or anything. She still looks like the same person. But I agree, Julia is gorgeous without it!

| I agree, I think she's pretty no matter what. She does look amazing in the ad but whose to say that the makeup didn't play a part. I know that I do my make up differently depending on the occasion and will spend a bit more time when it's for something special.

| My daughter was just showing me these two youtube videos the day before I hear that about Julia Roberts. I also wonder why just her or is this just going to be the beginning. The professional photoshopper in the first video says no picture is ever released without the model's approval, but the models say the advertisers are the ones who have the final say over what picture is used. I think Julia Roberts is a naturally beautiful person.

| Airbrushed pictures are every where. I hate it personally, having a 14y.o. daughter that loves reading magazines & fashion this & that online. I have to point out to her how unrealistic these pictures are. They do it for make up, weight loss, acne meds, it's crazy. It reminds me of when Kate Moss' commercial got pulled for Rimmel mascara, I believe. They said it was false advertisement since she was wearing false eye lashes in the "after" photo.

| I can't comment on all weight loss ads, but I can give you my personal experience with Nutrisystem. In 2006, I lost 85 lbs on Nutrisystem, and in 2007 they asked me to participate in one of their photo shoots. I had become a runner, and had been wearing tank tops that had a shoulder that was about 3" wide. My natural skin color is pretty pasty, so my tan line was a stark contrast to the skin next to it. They chose a tank top for me to wear that had a shoulder that was only about 1 and 1/2" wide, and the tan line was way too obvious. I casually mentioned that they could just fix it in the pictures, after all, it was just a tan line. They about flipped, and said that they couldn't do ANY retouching on the photos, they had to use them exactly as they came out. They solved the problem by putting a tan foundation makeup in an airbrush, and they airbrushed ME to fill in and hide the line. So I can't speak for all of them, but when you see their ads, I am confident that you are seeing something that has not been touched up.

| I think if they are trying to sell a product, then what that product is supposed to do should not be overly photoshopped, bc I do feel that is false advertising. I can't stand mascara ads wear the model is clearly wearing fake lashes. Personally, ads don't really have much effect on me anymore. If anything, they dissuade me from purchasing bc they look so fake. I make my buying decisions based on consumer reviews, price, and need. Although, I can understand why celebs and models would want their covers and what not retouched, if they can look better then why not? What I don't get though is how they would feel if their fans saw them in person and told them you don't look like you in person, or you're shorter/fatter/flatter,etc than I thought.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | It was worse than I thought, I found a picture without any special lighting or make-up.

| Good for them! I think it is false advertising. OF course, the cosmetics line cannot deliver a product that makes you completely wrinkle-free as the ads would suggest. But some women fall prey to these false promises and spend thousands of dollars looking for that miracle. I hope they do that on all cosmetic sales brochures.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | It doesn't help that most of those "women" in the anti-aging ads are about 16 years old.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | One of the things I liked about Hugh Hefner is that he refused any ads in Playboy for any type of male improvement product, whether it was balding, stinking, weight control, or building muscles, Hefner said, "no" he wanted men to feel good about themselves. In the meantime, Cosmopolitan was running ads on how women can look better and articles on how we can be better. Today, extremely beautiful women are living at the plastic surgeon office, and I wish we had had a female Hugh Heffner, who wanted women to feel good about themselves and men could start living up to some exaggerated notion of perfection.
