I’ve seen some really bad covers of Keira, but they weren’t bad because they made her look hideous. She looked quite beautiful in them. The problem was that between the makeup and the photoshopping, they made her look like a generic, “standard” beauty, editing out and covering up everything that is unique about her appearance. Several times I’ve had to read the captions on the cover before I even realized it was her, and she’s one of my absolute favorites.
