The Charisse Report

Ep. 153: Jennifer Aniston says she’s never felt better – so why was her Allure magazine cover so retouched? Why do magazines want us to look younger?


Listen Later

This episode is all about my love/hate relationship with the final print cover of Allure magazine. I’m sharing what I truly love about the shoot with Friends and Along Came Polly actress Jennifer Aniston, and I’m sharing why I’m still annoyed with magazines for their excessive reliance on Photoshop and retouching in general.

I’d really love to know what you think if you’ve seen the Jennifer Aniston Allure cover and if you think that retouching is just par for the course when it comes to celebrities and beauty media.

If you haven’t seen the cover, head to my TikTok to see what I’m talking about @charissekenion.
