    The above advertisement for Olay Total Effects Pore Minimizing CC cream demonstrates modern day fixation on celebrity culture and photographic subterfuge to avoid truth. The model represented is a conventionally attractive woman whom, because of how healthy she appears, looks prosperous. The quote beside her “I’m not an airbrushed kinda girl, I just want to look it” conflicts with her appearance. From this we learn that she is an average woman infatuated so much with the celebrity look that she too wants to display herself as one. “air brushed kinda girl” implies that those who constantly look airbrushed (celebrities) possess negative personality traits ergo, one would not like to act like them. The assumption that celebrities are

  • Ariana Grande's Maybelline Beauty: A New Standard Of Beauty

    1294 Words  | 3 Pages

    After watching Ariana Grande’s makeup tutorial in October of 2012, a 15 year old me had established a new standard of beauty. I wanted what that girl had: her clear skin, pink cheeks, long lashes, and, most of all, her eye-catching fuchsia lips. I memorized the name: “Maybelline Super Stay 14 Hour Lipstick” in “Fuchsia Forever.” My mother, sister, and I then went over to the nearest Target in search of this lip color I so desperately required. The large cosmetics section at Target was like stepping inside of a light bulb. The shelves were so brightly lit, it was as if the store needed me to be able to read every brand name from just the corner of my eye. I quickly found the exact lipstick I wanted, which was the exact lipstick some pretty stranger had indirectly persuaded me to purchase. In that moment, looking down at the sleek, gleaming plastic tube, I felt that this one simple object was I needed. Something that looked good and made me feel good. It was not until later that I had thought about the consequences of this new standard of beauty.

    A topic in which could be discussed is the “Pretty” aspect of the advertisement. Often when joining aspects such as dainty glass bottles, with couture embellished dresses and natural palettes, adverts can become saccharine. However, I find it hard to dislike the advert. It is the layer of intimacy and feminine allure in which I find it save from the typical Cinderella story. From the ruffled hair to the flash of skin, I believe it gives the new Miss Dior a refined sense of sexual liberation.

  • Analyzing Maggie's Beauty Advertisements

    490 Words  | 1 Pages

    As stated in our proposal, for our final project Maggie and I wanted to respond to female beauty standards in the modern United States. We began by perusing a number of Cosmopolitan magazines (I purchased thirteen issues from the last year or two on the internet). As I read the magazines, I was struck by how overwhelming it was to have advertisement after advertisement thrown in my face, each showing the ‘perfect’ woman. Coincidentally, none of these women looked anything like people I actually know and see on a day to day basis. And it’s not just in magazines. We are bombarded with beauty advertisements constantly—billboards, posters, commercials, online, etc. As I flipped through the magazine, I felt almost judged. All these images of ‘beautiful’ women staring at me from the page, and I could not help but see all the ways I was not like them. After looking through all thirteen magazines, I also realized that the women in the ads did not even seem like people to me—they seemed more like things. They had been reduced to objects to be gawked at and envied. I considered how best to capture these emotions in an artwork and eventually settled on a collage. The busy-ness of it visually I feel expresses the feeling of being overwhelmed and the eyes the feeling of judgement. By cutting the faces apart, I hoped to capture the objectification of the women by reducing them to pieces.
