Jessica Simpson appears on the cover −and inside− of American Marie Claire's May issue sans makeup and retouching, according to the magazine.
I'm not completely convinced, though. Is it just me or does Simpson appear to be wearing eyeliner, mascara and blush? (Click here to see a larger view of the cover and the photos that accompany it.)
Regardless...the concept is fairly novel as far as domestic magazines are concerned. The only other American mag to do anything similar is Harper's Bazaar , which published photos of makeup-free, "minimally retouched" models last September. (However, it's worth noting that the entire April issue of French Marie Claire is retouch-free and French Elle did makeup and retouch-free covers about a year ago.)
What do you think of these "natural" covers and photo spreads? Frankly, I don't think they are particularly innovative considering the subjects are models and celebrities who are generally attractive to begin with.

I think she is makeup free. I'm sure she has eyelash extensions and pinched her cheeks for the blush effect and has an amazing photographer and everything like that, but I still believe that it's not makeup.
I think she looks AMAZING on the Marie Claire cover. I don't know why anyone would ever retouch that.
I agree that she looks lovely without retouching.
