The Mirror Has Two Faces

We all know the camera never lies, right?

Well indeed it can - and today it's aided and abetted by the magic of Photoshop.

The latest to fall under the media lens for a bit of Photoshoppery is 1960s British super model Twiggy - the face of London mod.

40 years on, she is the face of beauty brand Oil of Olay, but there's been a little bit of controversy over the advertisements:

With slight jowls and only hairline wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, Twiggy does indeed look good for her age.

However she bares very little resemblance to pictures, apparently of her, recently distributed to advertise Olay, whose catchphrase is 'Love the skin you're in.'

Airbrushing expert Michelle Facey of Facey Media said the amount of work done to wizard away the signs of aging in the advert picture was 'a sham' and 'totally misleading to the customer'.

She said: 'I think they have really gone overboard. Its a sham. I did not realise she looked so different in real life.'

Personally, we believe Michelle's criticism on that image is a bit harsh but we believe she does have a point with the Marks and Spencer photoshoot located further in the story.

As long as people realise they can't always believe what they see, there is nothing wrong with having a little fun - like the contestant in the Worth1000.com Photoshop contests.
