Is it me or has this image been over-Photoshopped to the point of making Liu Wen look almost unrecognizable. The shape of her face looked elongated, especially from nose down and her lips looked twice their normal size.

is it just me, or are her hands crazy large?
ReplyDeleteThey definitely photoshopped her nose bridge to look higher and elongated the lower portion of her face. And her mouth shopped to look bigger.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise, Mert and Marcus are known for overphotoshopping
I have to completely disagree with you. She has NEVER looked better. And no offense but AMB i have noticed that you're not the best at distinguishing Asian people so i don't think you should make those comments. The reason why her face looks elongated is simply because her hair is up and her head is tilited and eyebrows bleached. And her lips where always that big.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with comment #3. she looks gorgeous here, very natural I think. not over photoshopped at al. and yes, she has always had big lips. lol
ReplyDeletegood job Liu
she does look very different but it could be the styling. i just looked through her last few images and each one varied from one extreme to the other. she does look more "white-ified" kind of like cate blanchett and they lightened her eyes. i must say though, that there is this eerie gorgeousness for this image.
ReplyDeleteshe looks almost chopped/shopped. very Iekeline Stange-ish harsh cheekbone which white men would expect Asian to have.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying she doesn't look great. Of course she looks great. But I can assure you, this photo along with every other photo you see in campaigns and namely by this photography duo is very very photoshopped. This is not a polaroid...
ReplyDeleteIf you worked in the industry you would know...Mert+Marcus photoshop their images a lot and they're behind the "too skinny" photoshop scandals from last year.
Liu's cheekbones are not photoshopped. She is SKINNY AS SHIT that is what she looks like.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous alright but people need to stop applying garish make-up on Asian models. UGH!
ReplyDeleteI actually think she looks really good here... The makeup is not garish at all..
ReplyDeletei've done jobs with Liu Wen before. she looks just the same. just different makeup and a little photoshop here and there just like any other model or celeb.
ReplyDeleteher lips have always been full and her face is long longer than it normaly is.
