Kate Winslet Poses Nude in 'Flawless' New Lancôme Ad Campaign: VIDEO

Kate Winslet
has always been outspoken in her distaste for plastic surgery and airbrushing, but it seems the voluptuous Brit import has finally surrendered to the feature-altering clicks of a full Photoshop job in a new Lancôme ad.

In a campaign for new Lancôme lipstick collection L'Absolu Nu, the 35-year-old lies nude against champagne satin sheets, her face an image of poreless perfection, and her assets hidden by a strategically placed wrist and the iconic imprint of the Lancôme rose.

Shot by prominent fashion photographer Mario Testino, the campaign also features the Oscar winner draped in sheets, talking to a special someone on the phone -- all while applying her mother-of-pearl-flecked lipstick to pillow-soft lips.

And while this may all firmly plant your tongue in your cheek, Winslet says the lipstick is genuinely her latest obsession.

"I do think that lipstick is the best friend of absolute femininity ... and I also think there's something happening right now in the cosmetic industry, which is that we're seeing the big comeback of a great lipstick. L'Absolu Nu is a soft, delicious stain. It's very, very sexy ... very, very subtle," said the silver-screen star.

Even though Winslet had a public exchange of words with GQ U.K. over a 2003 magazine cover, it seems the actress may have adopted a laissez-faire attitude about airbrushing in the print industry, having been quoted as saying, "I accept magazine retouch photos all the time."

But, Winslet added, the enjoyment of a beautiful photograph shouldn't eclipse the reality of the situation.

"I just didn't want people to think I was a hypocrite and that I'd suddenly lost 30 pounds or whatever. So I just came out and said, 'Look, I don't look like that.' I'm not mad at the magazine, but I have no intention of looking like that," Winslet told the New York Post at the time.

Tell us: Do you agree that Winslet's Lancôme ad is an expression of art, or is it sending the wrong message?

Either way, we now have a hankering for a swipe of pink lipstick.

Know which other star is posing nude in the name of beauty? Kirsten Dunst for Bulgari -- but this time, it's for a fragrance.

Meanwhile, check out these 10 famous ladies who get naked over and over again.

I'm pretty sure Kate has been nude in more movies than any other A list actress I can think of at the moment. Off the top of my head: Titanic, Holy Smoke, Little Children, The Reader, Jude, Iris, Hideous Kinky, Quills, Heavenly Creatures (half naked), Hamlet(?), and probably others. I saw Revolutionary Road, but cannot remember if she was naked in it.
So an ad with her showing part of her bum is not news.

I like her acting however, she has been a hypocrite all along. I watched her on Leno and she went on and on about the wrong image that Hollywood women convey all the while her boobs were hanging out. I don't mind the eye candy but she if she concerned about her daughters, then she should cover up happy valley. Not for my sake but for her poor daughters who might get the wrong image. And she should learn to sit like a lady and not with her thigh showing. Again, I don't mind the eye candy but please stop the talk and just act. Hollywood is over matched when it comes to trying to sound smart. They can't. Leave that to you know, smart people.

Who would honestly buy cosmetics if the advertising didn't have a little fantasy stirred in for interest? The ad is artistic, soft, and it doesn't make her a hypocrite. Now, if she had a ton of surgery to look like that, then I would call her a hypocrite. She doesn't look unhealthy thin, her eyes are really blue, and she is a pretty woman in real life. The lipstick line looks wonderful. I can't wait to go to Sephora tomorrow.

I don't require my lipstick to envoke fantasy, just to look good on my face. And while I love Kate, I would really like these people to remain dressed. I don't need to see ta-ta's and hoo-ha's to buy make up, or enjoy a movie.

Apparently you must if you watched it and posted here. Have the courage of your convictions. Don't watch movies with any nudity and don't buy products that feature any nudity, artistic or otherwise.

Nude or not, She's still one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen- celeberity or otherwise! So many these days feel that a woman has to look a certain way to be beautiful and in my opinion, Kate Winslet is more to the norm as to how a woman should actually look. I'd much rather have my girl look like Kate than some of these anorexic looking others everyone holds to such high standards. Kate's much more like the average woman, and a very beautiful one at that!

I don't want to seem picky, if a woman's eyebrows are dark brown or black and her hair is blond is she trying to kid us or are we supposed to just ignore it? As a man I find it silly. I would not by or drive a yellow car with red seats-but that's me-what can I say?

I am a natural redhead and my eyebrows are brown. The hair on my arms and legs is so blond you can barely see it. Yet, it all goes together well. It's not uncommon for people to have different color hair in different areas of the body. Also, let's get real. This awesome redhead with the brown eyebrows? You likely wouldn't measure up to her standards anyway.
