Advertising has changed in many ways over the years, growing and maturing to show us what we should be. Because our own self-esteem is not enough, we rely on advertising to tell us what is beautiful and what is not. Whether we realize it or not, beauty is ultimately defined for us. Products are advertised all around us, telling us that something in our life is missing because we do not have a certain product in our possession. Ranging from make-up to plastic surgery, most of this advertising is geared toward women. This can be shown through the advertisements analyzed in this essay.

The text is black and says, “The Max Volume Flash Mascara…Skinny to Fat in 10 Seconds Flat…14 times more volume…Our biggest brush ever…Collagen and Keratin enriched.” Below this text is the product, a long, thick pink tube of mascara. Below the mascara tube are the words, “Get the London look” in white text. On the current ad, pink eye shadow and lip gloss match the pink shade of the mascara bottle. The eye shadow draws attention to her piercing, deep blue eyes and defined lashes that the product promises to give you. The older ad has darker colors. The green bracelet is one of the brightest objects and is near the face, which draws your attention to the smile and the eyes, which are green as well. The dark blue sweater she is
The magazine advert manipulates women into believing this mascara will feminize the ordinary woman. It evokes women to want to mimic the model’s good looks, obtaining the most desirable and beautiful look, which exemplifies rhetorical appeals. While consumers are aware of the use of photoshop in advertisements, and the results expressed in the ad are unrealistic, the flawless supermodel still grabs the audience’s attention. They show Adriana Lima applying the Lash Stylist mascara, which is a clear example of logos. By seeing that, the viewer is going to think that if they wear it. Emotionally that would draw in a woman, especially the younger girls, because it is every girl’s dream to look like a celebrity.

Fashion plays a major role in a person’s life because it is expressing how one looks and feels about one’s self. Clothing, accessories and makeup communicate fashion, which are all successful ways of bringing attention and persuasion to popular fashion brands. However, can also lead consumers to higher standards thinking that they can resemble the professional model posing in the advertisement. Like a Cover Girl advertising fade proof, waterproof, and ignore- proof mascara and new intense eye shadow blast that has a photo of Drew Barrymore behind a light grey background with light blue eye shadow around her entire eye.

CoverGirl states that their products are for all races or skin types such as oily, dry, Asian, or white. “Fadeproof, waterproof and ignore-proof”, which is the company phrase used to present the product that they are advertising, in this case is mascara. Mascara has been around for quite long time and it is rapidly growing throughout countries. The reason CoverGirl uses “fade proof” word to describe their product is because they claim that their product will stay on that person face regardless of sweat, cry or even how long it is worn for that day. Waterproof would be useful for those who need it when it rains or go for a swim.

Everyday we expose ourselves to thousands of advertisements in a wide variety of environments where ever we go; yet, we fail to realize the influence of the implications being sold to us on these advertisements, particularly about women. Advertisements don’t just sell products; they sell this notion that women are less of humans and more of objects, particularly in the sexual sense. It is important to understand that the advertising worlds’ constant sexual objectification of women has led to a change in sexual pathology in our society, by creating a culture that strives to be the unobtainable image of beauty we see on the cover of magazines. Even more specifically it is important to study the multiple influences that advertisements have

Beauty is something that can be interpreted completely different from person to person. A famous quote that goes along with this perfectly is “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” I think a person’s inner beauty should be taken into account when deciding whether or not a person is beautiful. Wikipedia’s definition of beauty is, “a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction” while Oxford Dictionary states, “beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially sight.” As you can see, inner beauty could be paired with Wiki’s definition and outer beauty could be paired with Oxfords. Of course, there
The definition of beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. Beauty has negative and positive influences on mostly people. Beauty is described by the inside and outside of us. Due to beauty, our self-esteem has been hurt dramatically, especially towards girls. Beauty is not always about our outside looks but it’s about our inside personality also.
What is beauty? How do we decide who is attractive and who is not? Society is full of information telling us what is beautiful, but what fact is that information based on? The topic of beauty has been studied, analyzed and controversial for centuries. We all know the feeling you can have when you hear a beautiful song that brings joy to your heart, stand in a field of flowers that excites your eyes, or admire a face that is visually pleasing. As human beings, we are all drawn to beauty, but what is it that makes something beautiful?
