A French politician has been criticised for "misleading" voters after she digitally beautified her campaign photos for more votes.
Juliette de Causans is running as a candidate in France’s senatorial elections this month and was pictured unrecognisable in recent posters. Ms De Causans is in her 40s but has not given her exact age, however, in the posters, she looked drastically younger and airbrushed. Her skin was noticeably brighter, her teeth straighter and her hair looked like it had been freshly blow-dried. On her Instagram photos her features looked markedly different. She used the feature to give herself a tan in publicity for parliamentary elections last year but this month took it a step further.
Defending herself, she said: "It’s my right as a candidate to have a beautiful photo. Hair, makeup and lighting, it’s not the same thing."
Meanwhile, the congressional race in California got more interesting.
