Filters vs. reality: Blanca Suárez faces criticism after publishing a retouched photograph on her social networks

Blanca Suárez can boast of having become one of the best-known faces on the national scene over the years. Her roles in The Boarding School or Her Boat earned her the affection of the public, making her one of the most acclaimed actresses of recent years. However, despite her success, she is not exempt from controversy. And now she has made a mess of it on her Instagram account.

The actress has been the star of the new cover of Cosmopolitan magazine with a pose that has amazed many. Even so, the retouching of the main photography has not gone unnoticed. Although the image would already have some adjustments, Blanca herself wanted to publish it again with more changes to her face. Something that has set social networks on fire.

The account @bellezafalsa wanted to put this catch on the table. And that is where the comments have risen to 300 in less than 24 hours. "Assuming that Cosmo's will already be retouched...", said one user. "Well, it comes out better without retouching," added another.

And this has not only generated negative responses towards the actress, but towards society in general. "The problem is not that Blanca Suárez does this. The problem is why we continue to maintain a sexist structure that makes women have the need to edit ourselves to look good," a young woman expressed emphatically.

In the comparative video you can clearly see how the image published by the actress has a refinement of her face that even makes it impossible to see her naturally. And not only that, but her eyes have also undergone an increase. Something that does not happen on the original cover.

And this collides with the defense that the Madrid native has always had with showing herself naturally. It is not the first time that it has exploded on social networks every time someone suggested a touch-up on its part. "There is no Photoshop where they say there is," she said in 2016. "I'm not the Hulk, but I've worked at it," she added.

Despite the scandal, Blanca Suárez has not wanted to comment on the matter and has not deleted the edited publication either. It seems that she is going to try to let the downpour pass as soon as possible and she is going to enjoy the good time she is having. She is about to see the release of her latest film Disco de ella, Ibiza, Locomía, where she and the rest of the cast will bring the legendary band to the present.

To publicize all these projects, he does not stop going to all kinds of programs. A few months ago, she sat next to Laura Escanes on her podcast and did not hesitate to explain why she does not take photographs with fans on certain occasions. "It's 3 in the morning, I'm going crazy, so are you, and this tomorrow isn't going to be as fun," she said forcefully.
