Jessica Simpson With No Make-up

Marie Claire features Jessica Simpson without make-up on, with a photo that wasn't re-touched in any photo editing software on the cover of the magazine, so the claim has been made.

It's not just Jessica, either. The entire issue of Marie Claire is full of photos that haven't been retouched.

New York Magazine makes an excellent point, however, about this seemingly bold move:

"...maybe they could go a step further and try not retouching women who aren't in their twenties, and show those signs of age most magazines would like us to believe are freakish and not normal."

Excellent point. In fact, I would go a step further and ask that they not retouch their celebrities who are much older, say in their 50s... Or maybe that's asking too much. After all, I barely have the courage to allow a photo taken of me without make-up for the family photo album.
