While Sarah Palin doesn’t get airbrushing love, Angelina Jolie certainly does. On the cover of the December issue of British Harper’s Bazaar, an incredibly tightly cropped image up of Angelina’s face appears flawless. The featured caption reading, “Angelina Up Close,” and close it is indeed.

Angelina Jolie has been busy promoting her newest film, The Changeling, which debuted in theaters on Halloween.

A much more flattering cover than [Sarah Palin’s Newsweek](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newsweek-sarah-palin) article. Funny how something that took less effort to put together ends up with more publicity than something that has had hours of painstaking photo retouching.
