I think you said it best MissChievous
It is really heartbreaking that these beauty ads are basically exposing women's insecurities -- and instead of building us up to appreciate what God blessed us with, we have to view it as something thats 'wrong' in us and needs to be 'fixed.'

Although I do think cosmetics' companies are now (slowly) more aware of the many complexions of women, they use it to make us feel like we will never be beautiful unless we use their products. There's this idea that 'perfect beauty' is one single aspect of a women and whether that be our complexion, shape, or height, there's never a focus on accepting & loving the diversity that exists in the world...

This was a really interesting article -- thank you for sharing this
