Beauty

We watched this video last semester in my EDIT class, and I thought it was incredibly sad that so much effort is put into changing someones face before use in advertising. This girl doesn't even look like the same person from the before and after pictures. If it were me, I would feel so self-conscious about my looks even though I was put on a huge billboard, because it wouldn't be me. I wouldn't feel good about how I look, because they had to "fix" me before I was an attractive enough model. They thickened her hair, made her eyes bigger, smoothed out her skin, elongated her neck and then thinned her out. I think that putting on make-up is one thing, yes sometimes that too can be extreme, but when advertisers actually start using computers to modify someones face, that's when it goes too far, and the models start to look fake. This gives society the idea that some women are this beautiful, and girls should strive to look like this, however, it's impossible!
