Every culture has a different standard of beauty, and over the last few hundred years’ beauty has evolved and transpired into a bigger phenomenon than it should be. The American beauty culture has advanced since the 19th century. In the 19th century, beauty was told to be about the goodness in someone rather than using a cosmetic to bring out the “beauty” in you. Beauty in that time was seen as a luxury and a way to manipulate men into marrying them, but it was also seen as a way to show which social class you belonged to. Once the 20th century came around cosmetics were viewed as a negative connotation towards those who were prostitutes or women who tried to come off as a “lady”.
The definition of true beauty continues to evolve as generations pass and new ones emerge. Ulta Beauty, a popular cosmetic store, sells products with the aim to make women feel confident in their skin. Their use of advertisements helps spread the word about new, improved product lines and reach out to potential buyers. Selling makeup is the obvious goal of a cosmetic store, but the kind of consumers they attract and how varies between different franchises. When a company displays their products in one shot instead of in a commercial, the task of conveying the message becomes harder. Ulta Beauty persuades women to purchase their products by pointing out buyers’ insecurities while still appearing to promote empowering feminist values.
Women always have doubts whether or not their bodies are good enough. Advertising companies found exploiting these doubts whether man or woman are very profitable. In an Aveeno Active Naturals ad featuring Jennifer Anniston; focus, lighting, and framing draw attention to her flawless skin feeding off women’s insecurity that their bodies are not good enough; nevertheless women could have as flawless skin as Jennifer’s if they use this specific product.
In 2017, most women have the need to look the prettiest and the gorgeous female ever. Unfortunately, that need leads women to hide their intelligence to show their beauty perfection.

In a result, people will assume the beauty perfection of women is natural while it mostly comes from the plastic surgeries, diets, workouts, and the beauty make up too.
It attracts attention by putting Sofia Vergara, a popular actress on the page. With that, it stimulates desire because even though she has aged, it does not seem like she has.

Beauty is an ideal that materializes in all different types of women. This notion is one that a majority of women across the world learn to strive for. They fill their lives with daily routines that maintain an image as close to perfection as they can. Exercising, putting on accessories, picking their outfit of the day and attempting to apply varying amounts makeup for an effortless look is a lifestyle common to many womem. Despite these notions, CoverGirl promotes a message that one’s own look is not as strenuous as countless women believe it to be and that applying makeup every day does not imply that women are required to create masks or layers of fake skin to feel beautiful. Makeup should simply be an aid for women who need that extra boost of confidence for the day. CoverGirl proves this to their loyal customers through their “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, CoverGirl” campaign. This slogan explains their goal; it highlights the importance of natural beauty and embodies the idea of simply enhancing that beauty with just a touch of their makeup. Advertisements can deceive with the words that they say and the images they show, but there are always stronger factors that overcome the hidden assumptions in every advertisement. In the end, the audience is persuaded to seek the product and the goal of the advertisement has been achieved. CoverGirl uses the appeals of ethos and pathos in their advertisement to promote a claim that all women have a natural glow and beauty that can be

A wise person once said “we never notice the beauty because we are too busy trying to create it”. With social media promoting the idea that a beautiful woman is flawless, it is hard for women to feel good about themselves. From a young age to late adulthood, women constantly struggle to look beautiful in our culture’s eyes. One of the biggest issues we face is the use of photoshop. Magazines and billboards edit their models so much that it hardly looks like the model when the editing is completed. It is time to teach girls that what they do for society is far greater than how they look to society. It is time to stop hating our flaws and start embracing them. It is time to promote natural beauty rather than dwell on the impossible task of attaining
