Kate Winslet has always been outspoken in her distaste for plastic surgery and airbrushing, but it seems the voluptuous Brit import has finally surrendered to the feature-altering clicks of a full Photoshop job in a new Lancôme ad.
In a campaign for new Lancôme lipstick collection L'Absolu Nu, the 35-year-old lies nude against champagne satin sheets, her face an image of poreless perfection, and her assets hidden by a strategically placed wrist and the iconic imprint of the Lancôme rose.
Shot by prominent fashion photographer Mario Testino, the campaign also features the Oscar winner draped in sheets, talking to a special someone on the phone -- all while applying her mother-of-pearl-flecked lipstick to pillow-soft lips. Watch the ad after the jump.
And while this may all firmly plant your tongue in your cheek, Winslet says the lipstick is genuinely her latest obsession.
"I do think that lipstick is the best friend of absolute femininity ... and I also think there's something happening right now in the cosmetic industry, which is that we're seeing the big comeback of a great lipstick. L'Absolu Nu is a soft, delicious stain. It's very, very sexy ... very, very subtle," said the silver-screen star.
Even though Winslet had a public exchange of words with GQ U.K. over a 2003 magazine cover, it seems the actress may have adopted a laissez-faire attitude about airbrushing in the print industry, having been quoted as saying, "I accept magazines retouch photos all the time."
But, Winslet added, the enjoyment of a beautiful photograph shouldn't eclipse the reality of the situation.
"I just didn't want people to think I was a hypocrite and that I'd suddenly lost 30 pounds or whatever. So I just came out and said, 'Look, I don't look like that.' I'm not mad at the magazine, but I have no intention of looking like that," Winslet told the New York Post at the time.
Stuipid reply. It is women like this that bring down the morals in this world. A nude woman is only a nude woman. She knows no shame and breaks up marriages that might have worke especially if there are children in it. that old saying that money is the most evil thing in this world is trully true and this womqn proves it. Trash.
You do not even know her, so how can you love her.? Just a figment of your imagination. Go home to your wife and shut up. shewould not give you the right time unless you hada a few million. count your blessings at home before you lose them. women like this are a dime a dozen. A kind simple girl will stick with you when the chips are down.
Motherbird first off they do have this new thing called spellcheck instead of spewing your criticisms on people you don't even know try using it before you address someone. And the green eyed monster of jealous seems to have reared its ugly head in your direction.
Every time that I begin to like Kate again, she does something disappointing and degrading. I am sorry that she has such low self esteem that she feels the need to share her precious body with the entire world. This happens to alot of starlets once they hit thirty. Very sad that she feels a need to "display her goods" to remain popular.

So, MotherBird, what part of the Middle East are you from?
Airbrushed or not, she looks stunning.

why get nude to sell lipstick and what happened to Julia wasn't she their spokesperson, she probably never prompted anyone to buy a thing though, lol.

AND again..another 40 something woman, taking her clothes off for all the world to see. Takes no brains to do this. Or talent. Silly and sad.

I want a sexy woman like her. Man, I want to date a blonde but maybe I will have difficulty because I am a black male.
