Fabricated Beauty

5.13.2007

I thought the message of this Dove advertisement was awesome and wanted to share it with everyone. They have taken a “normal” woman and made so many changes to her using makeup and Photoshop to ensure that she fits the media's form of beauty—nothing about her is left the same.

Although I know Dove chose their "real beauty" theme as a marketing tactic, I'm actually very impressed that they chose to go against the mainstream and instead are beginning to educate the public on real beauty vs. unrealistic "fake" beauty. I would much rather be inundated with the truth than with fictional displays of beauty that don't exist in real life.
