Her lines and blemishes were removed, making her look 10 years younger. Turns out, the fountain of youth is sponsored by Adobe.

The practice of removing minor imperfections from images of famous people is hardly a new concept. The same thing happened in Renaissance portraits.

4. Britney Spears

They took out the slight bags under her eyes, jazzed up the lighting, and tweaked her hair. Who needs a brush when you have Photoshop?

Jennifer Lawrence is often the first person to admit that her magazine photos don't look like the real her. While talking to Yahoo! CEO Marissa Meyer, Lawrence said "The world has this idea that if you don't look like an airbrushed perfect model, you have to see past it. You look how you look, you have to be comfortable. What are you going to do? Be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That's just dumb."

13. Thom Yorke

In real life the Radiohead singer has a slightly crooked nose, but at least he's not a Creep.

14. Lady Gaga

Media Source

So she WASN'T born this way?!

15. Kristen Stewart

The before photo shows her mouth open and the after shows her mouth close...but both photos have one thing in common: They have the Twilight beauty's natural hair color, strawberry blonde. Whodathunkit?
