Kate Winslet wants to make sure there's truth in advertising, and she isn't afraid to speak up when she's on a photo shoot and thinks there's some trickery involved.

The actress, an ambassador for Lancôme, said that because she's a "person who stands by what they say, personally and publicly," she tells photographers if she believes the lighting is blurring out too many wrinkles on her face, and they fix it. Winslet told Net-a-Porter that she doesn't "feel old, I feel excited about being 40," and is embracing the aging process. "I'm baffled that anyone might not think women get more beautiful as they get older," she said. "Confidence comes with age, and looking beautiful comes from the confidence someone has in themselves."
