Wrinkle-free skin, unnaturally bright blue eyes and a missing mole: Kate Winslet gets an airbrush makeover for Vogue cover

By Daily Mail Reporter

|

As any actress will know, one of the perks of posing for a huge magazine shoot is the knowledge that any imperfections can be removed with the aid of an airbrush.

But it seems the post-production crew went slightly too far while editing Kate Winslet's US Vogue cover, rendering the already-flawless actress virtually unrecognisable for the cover shot.

The 38-year-old's skin looks line and blemish free, with her already piercing blue eyes noticeably brighter as she stares into the camera.

Kate's jawline also appears to have been altered, with a soft focus effect finishing to the entire image.

In addition, one of Kate's two moles, on her right cheek, has also been removed.

It remains to be seen just what Kate makes of the retouched cover, as she was previously incredibly vocal when her picture was heavily edited for the cover of GQ magazine back in 2003.

She said at the time: 'The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly, I don't desire to look like that.

'I actually have a Polaroid that the photographer gave me on the day of the shoot… I can tell you they've reduced the size of my legs by about a third. For my money it looks pretty good the way it was taken.'

Kate displayed her naturally beautiful complexion as she attended a screening of her new movie Labor Day in London on Saturday night.

The actress opted for a slimming all-black ensemble for the occasion, looking chic in a black top, skinny jeans and black blazer, finishing off her look with black high heels and keeping her blonde hair loose.

She accessorised her simple outfit with beautiful Monica Vinader earrings and bracelet.

Ever the professional Kate rested a hand affectionately on her blossoming stomach as she happily smiled and posed for the cameras.

She is totally unrecognisable! What's the point in having someone famous on the cover if you can't even recognise them! Kate Winslet is beautiful with all the wrinkles and moles, moreover shes a talented women! Why can't the media make it ok for women to grow old gracefully?!

It doesn't even look like her! I honestly wouldn't have known it was her if the article didn't state. Why do magazines do this?!

I rather doubt that altering these pictures was Kate's idea. Magazines do what they do and Kate has never been anything but honest about herself.

Ridiculous. Kate Winslet is naturally beautiful anyway. Why airbrush!? No wonder young girls hate their looks when all they have to compare to is 'perfection' that isn't real!
