Ewwww. What did they do to Queen’s face? :( Too much photoshop!
December 7, 2011 12:01 pm
NO…..she looks terrible!! She looks FAKE. :/

OMG!!!!!They really messed this one up. Queen Latifah is such a beautiful, and this photo does not project that, this is AWFUL. They airbrushed the HECK outte her face. She looks like she’s at a standstill, like botox. SUCK/FAIL.What’s going with Essence?!?! Somebody needs to intervene ASAP!
Side-note: The bronzer in Ebony from her queen collection is the business!

Doesn’t look like her at all.

Holy photoshop batman! But seriously, they’re actually putting different people on the cover of Essence and not that same 5 people they usually do? Wow. Still won’t purchase it. Everything I get to wanting to purchase Essence, they always do something stupid like doing the most for self-hating black males (Reggie Bush, Old Spice Guy).

Love Queen Latifah, don’t like this cover.
December 7, 2011 9:55 pm
Yall have me CRACKIN up! Co-sign on the crazy eye and photoshop. Too bad–she’s so gorgeous in real life!

I do not like Essence… I use to look forward to buying one off the newstand every month..But since there is a new owner,things are not the same. This is what all the covers and articles look like,,FAKE

I’d like to see Queen Latifah’s hair…in a different style. Too much retouching.
December 9, 2011 6:41 am
Whoa. I came here to comment on the retouching too but everybody pretty much covered it. This pic looks like an avatar version of herself, a brown one. Wonder if it speaks Na’vi…

PHOTOSHOP MUCH!! Wow, now this is airbrushing gone too bad!! SMH and she’s cross-eyed in this photo…wow
