"Cosmetic adverts featuring airbrushed images of actress Julia Roberts and model Christy Turlington have been banned by the advertising watchdog.
Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson complained that the L'Oreal adverts were "not representative of the results the products could achieve".
The Advertising Standards Authority agreed that the images were exaggerated and breached its code of conduct.
L'Oreal admitted retouching but denied that the two adverts were misleading." - (source -BBC News)
I'm glad they were banned, i'm not a fan of airbrushing at all! It is very misleading and causes all sorts of mental and physical health problems for young women.
Do you think they should say if it has been airbrushed?
Do you think there should be no airbrushing?
Do you think a little retouching is ok?
Or are you all for airbrushing and changing someone's face and body completely so it doesn't look like them?
