Dove Evolution

“Dove Evolution”. Today I saw a very interesting video and it showed a girl walking into a room with no makeup on and her hair just down and natural, as the video kept playing you start to see hair stylist and makeup artists come in and start doing her makeup and hair. As this transformation continues you see the drastic change between a beautiful natural girl and a beautiful girl. This girl of course is beautiful either way and she does look like model even without makeup because you see her natural beauty but in this video that was not enough. Even when the girl had her makeup finished and her hair extensions put on to make her hair look fuller and curlier this was still not enough. After she has already all this makeup on and her hair done they continue to make changes with her but now you see the picture that the photographers picked for his billboard but you still continue to see changes. Now this picture is being changed dramatically on the computer by making changes in her eyes by making them bigger and wider, making her neck longer and just other little details. But all these little details are changing her appearance and change the way she looks as a person; as the video still continues you see a sentence saying “No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted”. To me this was a very truthful reality that kids and teenagers do not see in the modeling industry like they should. All the kids and teenagers see are the finishing touches in the magazines and on the billboards, but as I saw in the video most of the picture was edited. But the kids do not see the process t goes through and how they edit it or some do not even think it could have been edited because they just think that is the way models look because that is how people and industries try to make it seem like that is how the ideal model is supposed to look or even the ideal girl. That is why so many children and teens now and days are trying to change themselves to be like the girls in the magazines and billboards but they need to know that even those beautiful girls have been edited and changed by inappreciative people in the industry that should just be happy that they have beautiful girls to even want to model or promote their products.
