Elizabeth Hurley Loves Photoshop

Posted on April 21, 2008

We love Elizabeth Hurley. She's just boldly admitted how much she loves being airbrushed in photographs. Especially for her new swimwear line. Now, we've see Liz (who is 42) in paparazzi pictures and even unretouched she looks great in a bikini.

"Shooting bikinis is now my life, which as you can imagine is unmitigated hell. But if you signed on for the gig, sadly, you have to go and be jolly in a skimpy white bikini. So now I rely on nice photographers and a certain amount of retouching. "I don't mind if you want to make me a bit thinner and a bit younger."

"We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes. But I've always been quite particular I don't like my face to be retouched." Liz now routinely touches up her family pictures with husband Arun Nayar and son Damian. She said: "Everytime I download my holiday snaps I go over them."

Ok, maybe airbrushing your own holiday photos is going a bit far. Although we always use the red eye removal on party pics. It's kind of addictive, actually, now that we think about it. First, you remove the red eye from the flash. Then you think, "well, that table arrangement really obscures the shot: why not airbrush it out?" Apparently, after that it's a slippery slope with removing blemishes, extra weight or unsightly ex-boyfriends. Not that we would ever do that. We haven't gotten that far in the Photoshop manual yet.
