Interesting video. Interesting, and unfortunately true.

That's actually kind of depressing. I wish the world could learn to see the beauty that's in flaws. It helps to make us unique, I think.

I've seen this before, and looked at lots of the airbrushing websites that show before and after shots of celebrities, etc., but instead of depressing me, this video just makes me wish I had a team of makeup artists and hair stylists.

THE GLASS IS HALF FULL!

But it was very interesting to see this video, it makes me a little depressed, but it also makes me marvel at what technology and makeup can do these days.

It's sad, but it's not showing the world something everyone didn't already know. We know how fake "models" are, but I do appreciate you posting it. I was always curious as to how it was all done.

I applaud Dove for taking a stand. When so many other companies don't. A few weeks ago, I was sitting in my doctor's office and happened to pick up a magazine and the first ad I saw was for Dove's ProAge. It featured 3 older women, sans clothing, in photos that were extremely tasteful. The women were just beautiful. The women weren't perfect by any means. A few wrinkles here, a few sunspots and tummy rolls there. But they were radiant. And, most of all, they were real. And Dove has put this type of focus in their ad campaign. Real women. Who might be a touch curvy or a little too old or short or plain, at least by the harsh standards society has given us, but who are still beautiful. I guess I am pushing this so hard because my daughter, who is 14 and weighs all of 90 pounds thinks she is too fat. Oh my God, she is beautiful. She is all of 90 pounds for God's sake. Yet, after having these size 0 models pushed into her face constantly, she thinks she is imperfect. And that is a darned shame. So, it is just great that a major cosmetics company is actually doing something to make women finally feel OK with their bodies. Accentuate the positive. Instead of constantly pointing out the flaws.

XD! Ditto! Man, I wish someone could airbrush me! I know I'm not ugly. I used to think I was, but now I'm learning to like the way I look. Just think it would be cool to make myself look even prettier ^^

[Asthaloth]

It's not like she was ugly to begin with, strong cheek bones, wide face -all the hallmarks of attractiveness.

I'd actually be inclined to say she looked better before, but hell, what do I know.

I've seen the TV-version. What is it, "Too old be in an anti-age advert... But this is Pro-Age?" Or something like that.

Just photoshop, I believe *is tempted to try doing that in photoshop*

I went through what she did... doesn't look anything like it. The whole industry is a sham!!!
