Eva Longoria, is that you?

Apparently.

If it wasn’t for the the cover line, it would be hard to recognise Eva Longoria on the cover of Italian Magazine Amica, shot by photographer Mark Liddell. The 37-year-old actress’ skin has been lightened and her cheekbones accentuated so much that she looks more like her Desperate Housewives co-star Terri Hatcher than herself.

Eva Longoria on the cover of Amica.

The Huffington Post reported:

Longoria appears on the cover in a deep purple Lanvin dress holding what looks like a potato. More bizarre than that? Her skin tone, which looks completely altered from its natural color in favor of a lighter, blemish-free white hue. Where’s that signature Longoria glow?

Aside from the skin retouching, Eva’s got some extra-accentuated cheekbones and jaw line that look practically fake. We’d almost believe that Longoria had some “work” done, except that the star has confessed her fears of plastic surgery before. “I’m terrified of needles and knives,” Longoria OK! Magazine earlier this year. “I saw those Discovery Channel shows with the operations. The sound of the chisel. Agh! No thank you.”

    I don’t even recognise her. They photoshopped her to the point where she may as well be a whole other person.

    I actually thought that was Teri Hatcher. Although, I’m olive skinned and if she’s like me, I really lighten up in Winter and really darken in Summer….

    Why anyone would want to touch up that woman’s gorgeous skin is beyond me.

      They sign a release form before the photoshoot giving the magazine the right to publish their photo. My understanding is that no models/stars get to sign off on the photo before it’s used, that’s considered an editorial decision. You could do what Kate Winslet did and refuse to sign a contract to have your photo enhanced, or you could try to get a clause put in about not lightening your skin, enhancing your bone structure, breasts, etc. But it’s so rarely done that you’d be seen as a bit of a troublemaker I think!
