*gasp* Outrageous! If they used Photoshop to pimp up the adverts, then it means that even if the average housewife buys and uses the advertised product, she might still not appear as good-looking as the professional model on the advert with all the professional make-up artists, photographers, lighting technicians and such working on her!

Truly a dark day, to have discovered such deception.

Procter & Gamble voluntarily pulled Taylor’s mascara print spot when it was flagged by the industry’s self-regulatory group, The National Advertising Division.


NAD was pleased with P&G’s response, and issued a statement...

My mind, it is blown. I never, ever, thought that ad agencies would somehow use deception to make products seem more appealing than they actually are. It's traumatizing. It's like founding out politicians only tell you what you want to hear to get votes.

I didn't see the ad and I want to buy the product. Mascara mousse you say? This is relevant to my interests.

Oh wait it is covergirl I don't use their stuff sigh. damn them and their superior mascaras.

Wow, that video is..kind of sad. I actually thought she looked gorgeous to begin with. And then the makeup helped enhance that - even with those false lashes I saw go on. The photoshop seemed unecessary to me. But I'm just silly.

I am not usually bothered by photoshop in most ads but when it is an ad for makeup well that is just flat-out false advertising, isn't it? I think most women know that if they use a product they aren't going to look like the model/celebrity advertising it. However, they do expect the product to do what it says it does. Honestly, most products I buy do what the ad says it will especially mascaras. Even that one that burned my eye so bad I cried for like an hour did actually extend my lashes. I never used it again though because i am not masochistic enough to be ok with that pain in order to get fuller lashes.

The advertisements in the beauty industry that actually piss me off, though, are the hair color ones. Bullshit Beyonce uses boxed hair color. BULLSHIT. Her dye jobs are 500-600 dollars minimum. You don't get that out of a box. It may be the same company but it is not the same product.

It's pretty much gotten to the point where men who ogle women in ads are the same as men who ogle animated girls. It's ok to admire a little, but remember that there are real-life ladies out there too.

The thing with photoshop in beauty ads is that beauty in general is subjective meaning they can pretty much advertise anything they want because of that. From what I understand anyway.

And really, I think eyelash ads are the most hilarious. Truthfully, I have yet to see one where falsies are not being worn.
The future is looking grim.

Hey, where'd you get that candid picture of Taylor Swift.

But for reals, though, someone needs to give that girl a sammich.

As far as I know the industry is actually making a move to not photoshop people on parts that are relevant to the product they're trying to sell as it is false advertising. This means they can still photoshop someone to hell and back for a mascara ad except for her eyelashes.

And I don't have a problem with this at all. Although I have noticed that when the photoshop eyelashes they never look quite right anyway.

What gets me are the ads that hire an african-american woman, and then "lighten" them, and dress them in all white and with entirely white backgrounds. Kind of unfortunate subtext there.
