PHOTOSHOPPED CELEBRITIES: BEFORE AND AFTER

 

Have you ever looked at a photoshopped celebrity, wondering how they look in real life? I’ve researched celebrities that have been accused of altering their looks in photos. Below I’ll expose some of the worst Photoshop fails and give shocking before & after examples.

 

Lady Gaga’s Versace Photoshoot Scandal

Lady Gaga’s leaked Versace pictures reveal some major differences between the photos used in the promo and the originals. Although I like the hig-hend retouching performed, it’s hard to deny that the photos are extremely doctored. You can also notice that she is completely barefaced in the before photos, and the editors had to also perform makeup retouching.

 

Wrinkle-Free Britney Spears

Sometimes magazine editors need to ask themselves “Do I retouch too much?.” The experts working at Marie Claire overdid skin retouching, removing any wrinkles, and changing facial features to the point where Britney looks like a completely different person.

Mariah Carey is one of the biggest culprits of celebrity Photoshop fails Links to an external site.. After being slammed for using Ps numerous times, Mariah stated that her fragile self-esteem makes her completely alter her images. You can tell she prefers to be much slimmer in her photos, with no creases, wrinkles, or stretch marks.

Plastic Penelope Cruz

The original of this Penelope Cruz photo looks incredible but the celebrity Photoshop editors spoiled the shot with excessive airbrushing, and completely unnecessary waist slimming. That being said, I like the hair retouching in this photo, especially the way they managed to remove stray hairs in Photoshop.

Kim Kardashian’s Slimmer Frame

It can take us hours to list all of the Kim Kardashian Photoshop fails, as she is probably the most photoshopped celebrity. You can definitely see body slimming apps being used for this photo, as her waist and stomach look much slimmer.

The most common technique when photoshopping portraits is using the Liquify Tool to achieve the dream body. This is exactly the tool that was used on this red carpet shot of Nicole Sherzinger to make her slimmer, and give her a digital nose job.

Leighton Meester’s Altered Insta Photo

The easiest way of finding celebrities before and after Photoshop photos is to view the official red carpet photos and compare them to the ones you see on Instagram. The Gossip Girl star not only looks much leaner in the after photo, but also her jawline was sharpened, and eye make-up applied for a more distinct look.
