A Natalie Portman mascara advertisement banned in the UK because her lashes are simply too long.
Check out this advertisement featuring Natalie Portman for Christian Dior’s Show New Look Mascara. The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority have banned the ad because they said it falsely implied “the mascara could lengthen the lashes, as well as separate them, increase their thickness and volume.”
And that’s just not true.
The Advertising Standards Authority said: “We were concerned that we had not seen evidence that the visual representation of the product’s effects on Natalie Portman’s lashes, as featured in the ad, could be achieved through use of the product only, particularly as we understood that post-production retouching on the lash area had taken place.”
Time for a hurrah?!
Dior admits they did use a computer to digitally retouch the image (well, duh!) They said alterations were made to “separate/increase the length and curve of a number of her lashes and to replace/fill a number of missing or damaged lashes, for a more stylised, uniform and tidy effect.”
The Huffington Post is reporting the single complaint was made by rival cosmetics company L’Oreal.
