I was expecting instant love but gosh, her makeup is awful!! and the photoshop on her face, what´s up with that mouth?!

Too much photoshop in the neck/chin/mouth area.

terrible expression, I can’t believe someone went with this. Carolyn deserved better.

Abysmal photoshop aside, I'm kinda into this? It's very red - instantly festive to me, it's the spectacular Carolyn Murphy, and it's quintessential Elle fashion and there's very litte I can complain about. I'll take it.

That's a terrible shot of her, solely because of her expression. He must have shot thousands of images, and that's what they went with??
She's still a stunningly beautiful woman tho.

My sentiments exactly! My love affair with Elle France continues and this cover gives me so much pleasure, as opposed to the bunch of nothingness Vogue serves up. French Elle harks back to the gold era of print for me, and seeing the likes of Carolyn Murphy is a total treat!

The red overload is helping the cover feel celebratory and festive, which I looove as we head into December. The layout is clean, sharp and direct. The effortless beauty styling is fab and I like the oversized Dolce & Gabbana look - definitely sat here excited for more.

Horrible cover, her expression looks so fake.

 

[Paul Lintag]

They did her dirty with that retouching..

 

[Xone]

I like the idea and the layout but that photoshop mess ruined everything....it was necessary?

 

[SLFC]

This could have been a nice cover but there is something very off, either the makeup or photoshop something wrong with her face here.

What's up with the Mariah Carey hair? And the angles and the shading? What's next? Vaseline on the lens?

Disappointed to see this in French Elle. But technically, I suppose they weren't promising us beauté à tout âge on the cover.
