I think it's a good concept in the long run, yes it will sell more but I think it helps shed more hope to the "average" woman that even models have to be made up to be beautiful in the grand scheme of things. I enjoyed the video, thought it was interesting. I had my hair and makeup done for my senior pictures two summers ago and I didn't even look like myself, I was very unhappy with them. Everyone told me they looked beautiful, but I kept saying it didn't look like me. I wish I had done it myself. Oh well. For prom I did better, minus my hair.
Dove is on a good track, similar to the hanes commercials with the ladies in their underwear of all sizes and shapes.
I liked it. Something else I think girls need to remind themselves of, atleast in my opinion men know that when they see such beautiful women like that it takes alot of time, makeup, money, and a completely different lifestyle to be that way, girls of average life don't have those resources or time commitments to spend on their looks often times, atleast I don't. I get ready in about 15 to 20 minutes including a shower and hairdrying. I think guys know the difference between real and fake. I used to feel very self concious when a guy would say a girl was hot but I realized yea, there's nothing wrong with it. So I'd comment that they're hot too, and agree. Guys wouldn't be with you if there wasn't something special/attractive about you in the first place. I don't think women should set such high bars on the superficial scale such as model-type beauty. It is all relative, men like different things as do women. Beautiful things are there, real or not. People like beauty.
I strive to look the best I can but I lack the time or effrot to indulge in it, I won't ever be a model, there's no point to try to live like one.
