Kate Winslet and 6 other actresses who say no to retouching

accreditation

We’ve seen endless photoshop disasters and yet some celebrities still allow companies to retouch their images. Here are seven stars who’ve disagreed with the way photoshop portrayed them in the media.

Kate Winslet recently signed a contract with L’Oreal stating that they will not be allowed to airbrush or retouch any of her ads or magazine spreads. According to E! Online, the actress stated that she has a responsibility to the way the younger generation look up to her and she hopes that other celebrities will follow suit.

Zendaya's recently criticised Modeliste Magazine for photoshopping her curves. The Disney actress was not happy and defended her curves by taking to Instagram to promote honesty and self love.

Keira Knightley went topless for Interview magazine and refused to let them retouch or airbrush her boobs to make them look bigger. The Pirates of the Caribbean actress stated that it should not matter what size you are and compared the female body to a battleground, blaming the art of photography for the way women’s bodies are perceived.

Ashley Benson was less than impressed when she saw the overly photoshopped poster for her popular television series, Pretty Little Liars, on Instagram. The actress then used her own Instagram account to  express her unhappiness about the image.  

Jamie-Lee Curtis bared her body without any makeup and retouching in 2002. Her photo shoot in More Magazine had the then 43-year-old wearing a sports bra and tight spandex, while going sans makeup, jewellery or manicure. And despite her age, the Scream Queen actress went natural again, this time appearing topless on the cover of AARP Magazine in 2008.

Ellen Barkin had one condition in her interview with online magazine Violet Grey last year - airbrushing or retouching. The 61-year-old actress looks fierce and empowered in the photo shoot, which took place at the Carlyle Hotel in New York.
