If you thought Liz Hurley was stingy, uptight, but with a surprisingly tolerant attitude to prostitutes and the men who frequent them, you can now add that she’s a little, ahem, vain.
She said: “I like a certain amount of retouching, like anybody. We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes.
“I don’t have professional Photoshop, just the one that comes with your camera. Every time I download my holiday snaps, I always go over them. Just the red eye and the colour enhancement. I don’t do any slimming because you need a silly programme – but the colour enhancing is heaven.
“Vanity retouching – who wouldn’t?”
Although Liz – who has just designed a bikini range for Spanish high street fashion store Mango – is happy to have her body digitally enhanced, she refuses to let anyone change her face.
The 42-year-old star added in an interview with Britain’s Style magazine: “I’ve always been quite particular – I don’t like my face to be retouched. Often, people will want to correct one’s face, and with me, they always want to change my nose. And I say, ‘No, no, I can’t look like that. I don’t mind if you want to make me a bit thinner and a bit younger, but you can’t give me a different jaw or eyebrows.”
Looking at these pictures of Liz’s latest modeling expedition, she’s skipped the retouching and simply gotten a 25-year-old lookalike to pose in a swinsuit.
Fortunately, we still have the paparazzi snaps, so one day Liz will be able to look back and see how she actually looked. For crying out loud woman, you’re 42 years old and have a kid, you look better than about 90% of the population, try to grow old gracefully! I know you might be saying this all tongue in cheek, but Liz, we sort of believe you.
Liz is also rumored to be pregnant, with husband Arun Nayer. Elton John was said to have been congratulating her at an April 8 Breast Cancer Research fundraiser, by rubbing her belly. She has a 6-year-old son named Damien, with television producer Stephen Bing.
Thanks to WENN for these photos of Liz Hurley and Arun Nayer at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Pink Party on 4/8/08.
And yet…she’s had a TON of plastic surgery done (fine a photo from ’88 and you’ll see what I mean). I guess she doesn’t want people messing with her investment.
lol, how stupid does she think people are? Why not just get a model for the swimwear shoot? Then she wouldn’t need to come out with all this bullshit.
I …sorta….commend her honesty
When you’re gone, all that’s left is the historical record – in her case she’s a model, so the record is images.
She’s looking after her legacy
I might agree if she had actually been honest. Vanity enhancements are one thing, sticking your head on a body that’s been digitally enhanced to the degree that it no longer resembles your own is another! Sorry, can’t stand her.
She is not a suitable wife for an indian man. She is the girl you fuk not marry!
Geronimo……if she is open about ‘enhancing’ her image , how is it dishonest – whether professionally or privately – if she owns it, it’s not dishonest….is it?
Can relate to you not being able to stand her though, just not for her ‘dishonesty’
Sanj….dividing women into virgins or whores isn’t helpful – try and drag yourself into the 21st century 🙄
What I meant, xiaoecho, is degrees of honesty. She made it sound as if the digital enhancement she approved of for her body was just basic ‘tidying up’ rather than total reconstruction, as in the bikini shoot! But I do take your point on her ‘legacy’.
That is a great dress! I’d probably do the same thing if I knew how to work the red eye adjuster & the color fixer thingy
Sanj … that’s not …. Im not even gonna go there.
I color enhance my pics. There’s nothing wrong with that. If i look terrible in a pic that I like i’ll take out a pimple or something its not THAT vain. She said she doesn’t do the slimming etc.
Geronimo…..I do know what you mean. The whole damn beauty industry is one huge fucking lie…guess thats why it didn’t register on my radar. Images, particularly magazine images of celebs are almost cartoons – every bit of individuality is airbrushed and ‘enhanced’ out.
Bodhi….. – that was my first thought too “what a good idea”
Bodhi, you have to learn how to use those functions! You get off the plane with peeling shoulders and white strap marks and, in the click of a mouse, you’re a bronzed goddess. I use photoshop for changing the colour and style of my bikinis so it looks like I’m a spoilt shallow rich bitch with 10 bikini changes a day! Fun!
A classy lady…that is all I can say.
-Shakira Mebarak still owes me money.
Off topic from the airbrushing discussion, but… just looking at the photo in the Sun, do they really need people to “design” bathing suits like this? I mean, did she apprentice in a Paris atelier for a few years to come up with a plain ole two-piece? It’s one step above designer socks.
