Martha Stewart called out after declaring ‘no filters’ used in selfies showing complexion at 81

Martha Stewart has a lot of people talking on social media after showing off her face and complexion in a couple of new Instagram posts.

On Sunday, the 81-year-old businesswoman, writer and television personality shared a close-up of her face as she leaned against a sink to wash her hair at a salon.

The lifestyle expert prides herself on the fact that the image is completely natural, with no retouching, which she followed with a series of similar selfies showing off her youthful appearance in the same salon.

In the first post, which zooms in on her complexion, Stewart appears to be wearing minimal makeup with her hair sprayed with water and shampoo.

“Lying in @FredericFekkai’s shampoo area, the light was perfect for a new selfie!” started in the caption. Absolutely no re-image!!! Good looking skin after a mostly dry January and @bedfordpilates every other day. By recreating images I meant my selfie wasn’t leaked!’

A couple of hours later, the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia founder took to Instagram again and shared three more photos taken in the living room.

‘These are the other three selfies I took. My expression was better in the first one, but my skin looks great in all of them,” she bragged in the caption, adding, “No filter. No facelift. Great derms all my life.

She concluded: ‘Today, Dr. Daniel Belkin and Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali have an excellent diet. Great workout and did I mention amazing @mariobadescu facials for the last forty years?

A large number of people weighed in to showcase her facial beauty and complexion with one or more flame emoji, noting that she looks attractive.

But there were many people who did not believe the claim that everything was natural regarding her face and complexion.

‘Everything’s fine.! Don’t stop representing the reality of aging! Define gracefully…there’s nothing wrong with transparency! You look wonderful…I’m just saying it’s not authentic…call it what it is!’ he wrote her in person.

I’m your biggest fan, Martha, but seriously, you have a top-notch surgeon and skin care. Okay, but the rest of us, the general public, can’t do that, so please keep us, the general public, in mind as you care for your hair and put yourself on display. Please be real. I still love you,’ wrote another.

In keeping with critics blasting her for getting work on her face, one commenter kept it simple writing: ‘Plastic surgery and injections look fantastic!’ and another did the same, declaring: ‘Absolutely no reimaging, come on please. Please be sincere, honest and real.

There seemed to be an endless number of people who simply didn’t believe the authenticity of Stewart’s ‘No Contributors’ claim. No facelift.

‘Hahaha I LOVE HER but this is so misleading since a ton of work has been done and you pay way too many dollars to pamper your skin. It looks fabulous, but let’s not generalize that it looks like this naturally hahaha”, another follower shared.

Do better Martha. Our girls deserve more from us!’ wrote another woman. ‘You set the expectations and the examples of how women should look as they age. This is dangerous and harmful to our youth. This is not natural beauty at 81 years old. Grow up! It’s strangely disturbing at your age to portray this. Women stop objectifying and putting on sexy lips and faces thinking it’s normal. This behavior is for the bedroom, not for social media.”
