Jessica Simpson: make-up and retouching free

In the upcoming issue of Marie-Claire magazine, Jessica Simpson is featured. The thing that makes this photoshoot different from all of her other ones, is that the photos taken for this feature were taken without Jessica wearing any make-up, and her photos were not retouched at all. Before I saw the pictures, I was happy to know that something like this was done in a magazine. However, once I saw the pictures, I was surprised by the way Marie-Claire magazine went about it. The cover shot is beautiful. Jessica Simpson looks totally natural, and she is a gorgeous girl without make-up on. The rest of the pictures of her, however, seem to cover her face in some way. The magazine boasts about their ability to make her look beautiful with no make-up or retouching, however the covering of her face in the pictures makes it look like they are hiding something.

This frustrates me, because however famous Jessica Simpson is, we are still not allowed to see any flaws in her face. Also, they do not show any pictures of her body. We all know that Jessica has been through a weight struggle lately, and it would have been interesting to see how she looks now.


Here are some of the pictures, you can judge for yourself:
