Photoshop Alert: Britney on Cosmopolitan’s Cover
July 6, 2010 in Britney Spears, Photoshop Job by Versus

Today’s airbrushing dose: Britney is looking not-so-much like current Britney on the cover of the August issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
What signs of our frenemy Photoshop do you guys see in this shot?









Is it just me or does she look older in this photo ?
I thought exactly the same!
soooo much older!! weird
her head looks like…from another story
It’s easy – they just put her head on another body! How obvious…poor Brit!
All her tatoos are on the right places, plus her bitten nails. Looks like they put head on her own body , but from a different picture.
yeah, I agree, the head looks misplaced.
forget her body, her face is what is throwing me off! she looks much older, and so, very tired and exhausted!
dead in the eyes
just came on to write the same thing!
her head on another body!! and she does looks older and tired.
i hate when the cup is smaller than the boobs!
(especially her right boob)
oh yeah – you’re right! The underwire line totally doesn’t line up with the edge of her right boob.
the head is misplaced, so bad! they shortened her neck too much and her face looks a little distorted. poor britney
eww…
poor thing
I know that she has a VERY short neck, but his is just ridiculous!
this…not his
What the hell is wrong with her face? Her eyes look terrible!! She looks exhausted. That is NOT a pretty cover.
How dumb do they think we, the buying public, are? Does anyone really believe that that’s her body?
Okay hate to break it to you people but at the time of approaching 30 you start to lose facial fat and reduced skin elasticity.
It’s more marked in some that others with the lucky ones not seeing this kind of changes until pushing 40.
But with Brit’s recent mental health problems it’s not surprise that she is looking a bit tired and worn out.
Stress and depression has a terrible affect on your looks, trust me I know from personal experience.
Tired and worn out? With all the photoshop she just got she STILL looks tired and worn out.
Shame, i used to like her but this is really pushing her luck, looks nothing like her. Photoshopped the waist, the arms, think the boobs too. Head is misplaced, her skin looks like CG etc etc. Shame on you britney.
Photoshopping can’t disguise hollowness around the eye area…one of the main reasons people look tired or older.
I agree it looks like they put her head on a different body. She just looks so worn out here, I just feel sad for her.
Her head different body. It almost looks like when back in the day when you were little and cut out celebrities faces from magazines and put it on another body.#Fail and face wise she’ll needs to hire a new makeup artist.
she has no neck.
She look fake
This is very close to what her face actually looks like, judging from recent candids. Her receding hairline is also about right. But the body… well we all know it doesn’t look like that.
Where is her neck??? The head looks off…whatever they did to her
She used to look like that in real life about ten years ago, without photoshop. Brit has really let herself go, but i guess she’s been unwell (bipolar disorder).
Yes, 10 years ago when she was still a TEENAGER with NO kids or HEALTH PROBLEMS………
They literally pasted Britney’s face on someone elses body!
Don’t look like the real Britney but I still think it’s an improvement!
those are her tattoos,so its her body. and while i agree there was some photoshopping just like there is on everyone i think she looks nearly just as slim in these recent candids http://cdn.theblemish.com/images/2010/06/FP_5293749_Spears_Britney_FP1_062910.jpg
I don’t think she looks all that different. her stomach/abs have been small lately, it’s usually her thighs that seem bigger because she is so athletic and muscular…and we can’t see those. Honestly I like this cover it’s normal and what we all ask for, she looks human and like someone I would see on the street, what’s so wrong with that. Also I think she has a nice body, of course it’s not like it was in baby one more time back when she was SIXTEEN! duh. people are so harsh. She’s not even overweight, save the criticism for someone who actually deserves it.
people just kind of expect to see out of this world beauty on the cover of magazines because thats what we normally get! now that we’ve got someone who looks more normal its just surprising i gues!!
agree.
most boring cover, looks like from the 1980´s or something..I don´t like Cosmo, it´s like now every issue is only about sex
I honestly don’t think she looks that different. She looks like this, those are her tattoos. Maybe a little retouching, but nothing huge that I can see.
I think it is probably her body with a bit to slimming done on the arms, hips and waist but her head looks disturbingly weird. There is something strange about the shadowing on her neck and her jawline that makes me feel like her head has been cut off and moved around. Or maybe they have enlarged her face slightly (but not her head), or put a face from a smiling shot onto a less smiling body and got the scale slightly off – it’s jarring.
This cover is a joke! What happened to her neck?
i’m no expert, but what the hell did they do to her face?
I dont think i fit in with this site because you people are always EXTREMELY critical and on most posts I’m always disagreeing with people LOL. I don’t see how her head is misshaped can someone explain it to me? I think she looks alright. Of course its gonna be photoshopped though.
all that photoshop and she still doesn’t look good. sorry, not impressed.
Cmon guys, her body looks the same to me. The boobs might be photosophed but that’s about it to me..
First thing I noticed were the tired eyes but her body isnt as bad as you guys think it is. Look at older post (yes, even the one with the visible underwear)
AHAHAHAAHAHAH ARE YOU SEROIUSS?!?!
THAT IS ACTUALLY THE COVER!?!?!
bahahaha thats sooo sad and stupid wow any 5 yr old can tell thats not her head!!! good luck selling this cosmo IDIOTS
not the bodys head i mean lol THAT ACTUALLY LOOOKS TERRIBLE!!! like her head looks SO DUMB AHAHAHAHA i actually thought this was a joke..
I think it is her head on the right body, it’s the lighting that is making it look wrong. Her body is sort of underlit everywhere else, notice how on her clavicles the dark areas are where you’d expect to see lighter areas if she was being lit from above, ditto with her cleavage. My guess is her jaw wasn’t defined very well with this kind of lighting so someone went back and and tried to add shadow to make her face pop more and in the process made it look like her face came from a completely different picture. Either that or they DID use the face from a different picture and in an attempt to make the two match up were heavy handed with the shadowing.
they tweaked a tiny bit, but i think this cover looks horrible. i haven’t read cosmo since i was 15 because i thought it was the same thing over and over each month. i was bored.
wow. she looks different than years ago. normally brit is pretty dolled up. she looks fine fhough, photoshop is the norm now-a-days. you have to get used to it, everything is fake.
OF COURSE she looks older guys, Brit is almost 30! She cant stay ..Baby One more Time forever! And its HER Body, HER head, just from totally different pictures!
