Pouty enough yes, but definitely the wrong kind of pout, unless Chanel starts selling horses’ bits instead of lipstick.

Lilla, you talk about those lips not being pouty.

Is this pouty enough?

No way would Chanel use those lips – too thin on top and not pouty enough.

Don’t give them any stupid ideas. They don’t need any help with that.

Did they put lipstick on his lower lip?

Those lips look like they have been photoshopped from a Chanel advert.

The shadowing is to make his face look leaner.

It’s also used to disguise the fact that his eyes are too close together on his round face.

This is all done so the great leader has more facial symmetry and porportion, making him more attractive and so more deserving of your vote.

Someone at Mindless End must have been Googling “how to win an election” and came up with research that shows that people prefer attractive politicians.

It was one of the strategies Cameron employed during the last electoral campaign. Cameron digitally enhanced all his posters, having his face air-brushed.

Shallow tactics that work on shallow voters, and an insult to voters who have brains.

However, the shadowing does nothing for the smug, self-satisfied smirk on his face that makes you want to bitchslap him.

It is a Caravaggio version, with that special chiaroscuro effect.

It also shows only the head – Caravaggio was obsessed with decapitations.
