The [lingerie company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) was scrutinized last year for publishing a photo of one of their models featuring missing thighs. This year it was model Candice Swanepoel who became a victim of the [Victoria’s Secret photoshop failures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorias-secret-relaunched). The blonde bombshell’s left arm was bizarrely airbrushed and looked as though her shoulder muscles were bulging right out of her. Whether the people over at Victoria’s Secret are getting lazy or not, there is never an excuse for such [aggressive airbrushing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unseenbeauty-initiative). Moreover, while Victoria’s Secret has tried to fix some of its slip-ups by having the original photos taken down, what’s been done is done and cannot be fixed. Check out the rest of the photos and see for yourself some of Victoria’s Secrets photoshop failures.
