Julia Roberts Make-Up Ads BANNED in Britain

Britain bans ads using Air-Brushing techniques. Among the celebrities that have been in the cross-hairs, Julia Roberts and supermodel Christy Turlington have been banned in the UK because of their controversial use of ‘airbrushing’.

The Scottish MP welcomed the ban, and said it should act as a wake-up call to advertisers, urging them to

“get back to reality.”
 “Pictures of flawless skin and super-slim bodies are all around, but they don’t reflect reality,” she said. “With one in four people feeling depressed about their body, it’s time to consider how these idealised images are distorting our idea of beauty. “Excessive airbrushing and digital manipulation techniques have become the norm, but both Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts are naturally beautiful women who don’t need retouching to look great.”

L’Oreal admitted the photographs it used had been digitally manipulated and retouched but insists that they accurately portray what the products may be able to do.
