This commercial is promoting women's self esteem and showing how you should just be yourself because all the beautiful people we see in ads are usually altered completely by makeup and photoshop. This commercial caught my attention when a professor played it during one of my sociology classes. I thought it would be a good topic to blog about because it is almost like having a behind the scenes look at how pictures for billboards and other ads are put together. Some argue that the commercial degrades the woman in it because they think it shows that she needs all that done to look beautiful. I don't think that makes much sense because if the woman doing the commercial felt degraded at all I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do it in the first place. Also, I think that the commercial is more about showing how no one is perfect even those gorgeous models that people use to compare themselves to.
*What exactly is this commercial's purpose?
