Dove Evolution


A one minute video showing the transformation of a girl through make up and photoshop.

How does this make you feel?

Has our perception of beauty been photoshopped ?
Or does this just enhance one's looks ! ?

This video is terrifying. I hate knowing that images we see everyday are distorted so drastically.

Woah, that is a real eye opener for sure!

Oh my god! I used to think it just enhanced your looks, but she looked like a different person at the end. Its crazy! I think makeup is enough of an ehancement alone!

It makes me feel scared.
It's like she isn't pretty enough already so they have to completely change her into something that no one can ever be just to suit some standard of beauty.

It's silly how we change ourselves and in the process harm ourselves when it would be so much healthier to change our perception of beauty...

great video, means the way we are and the difficulty to be real

This video is so clever. It really shows how much work and editing is put into a front cover of a magazine or an advertisement.
Great post

Pretty amazing. Hopefully it provides people some perspective between what they perceive to be true and what really is.

Great post!

It's sad, but I think this is what I expect when I see any models/celebrities in magazine nowadays. This is pretty frightening though.

i know first hand from my bf who does this sort of high style photoshop color corrections ince hes a working artist that all of the stuff we see in magazines and commercials is BS. one time i saw penolope cruz go from looking like a hag to lookign like a goddess for a loreal commercial and i was over it all together .
i seriously had thought she was that gorgeous not to say that she isnt though

It is so strange to see just how much airbrushing and photoshopping is really done. I feel a bit like everything I see in magazines/ ads now could be a big, fat lie. =[

i know it's absolutely wrong that they've changed it to make it look so 'perfect' but, i can't help but think what fantastic photoshop skills that person had! lol!

Ashley 20 October 2009 17:39  

i remember this. The transformation is insane.

holy cow . its very radical !
that's why we should compare ourselves with magazine ads !!

I love this video - I think it is a total eye opener, as daisy chain said.

By the way (couldn't find you email address or would have emailed you) I dropped into Lush to have a look for you yesterday, they have stopped doing Freshers Packs in Leeds for def. But you should still go just to check out the Christmas stuff! It's brilliant! :)

Wow, she looked completely different!

wishwishwish 21 October 2009 12:20  

its crazy isnt it?! x

ryder 21 October 2009 13:17  

thats just wrong!
i dont support it. i support retouching the light but never the face.

Stacy 21 October 2009 16:14  

i've seen this before and i think it's horrible what we've come to. if someone isn't beautiful enough, fine, go find someone else but i don't think you should manipulate their appearance on the computer

i just did a post about flaws and accepting oneself a couple days ago, you might be interested

wow that video is really crazy and i've always believed that people should just love themselves for who they are and everyone else around them should except them

i'm very amazed of what photoshop can do to
the photos.
since i don't have photoshop, i don't edit all the photos i posted in my blog.

this movie always make me hallucinate

rcLoy 25 October 2009 06:25  

Saw this when someone posted it on facebook. This is so bizarre! Perfection is basically concealing the truth. Urgh.

This video gives me goosebumps every time, but not quite as much as Onslaught, from the same campaign...

I wonder how many Photoshop hours went into all those images!
