I absolutely love the "Real Beauty" campaign. I honestly, believe that it's great that a company is willing to be different and show the world what "perfect' people actually look like. If not for this advertisement, I most likely would have not understood the amount of manipulation that is done to an ad before it is released. I wish that other companies would use normal looking women instead of "plastics" in other words, fake girls. If people had a different perception of what beauty is and knew that real beauty comes from within and not from what we see in the mirror, maybe we could avoid all the bullying in schools, work and home. Everyday, I countlessly hear about someone either not liking themselves or being told that they are not good enough, pretty enough or smart enough. Why don't we stop thinking that we are good the way we are? Why does the media has to trick us into thinking that to be perfect, you need to be natural and not spend hours trying to look like someone you are not. Finally, Christina Aguilera once said, "You are beautiful no matter what they say," even though most adverts just show pictures, it is safe to say: You are beautiful no matter what they show, pictures can bring you down.
