A Touching Ad about Beauty Portrayal

Dove's film is one of my top ads ever... It is about self appreciation and confidence. Beauty is not about you must have; it is about what you are.

"Each woman is the subject of two portraits drawn by FBI-trained forensic artist Gil Zamora: one based on her own description, and the other using a stranger’s observations. The results are surprising…"


YouTube

The results are surprising because they show that the women expressed their observation of others' beauty while ignoring their own. We currently seek beauty from the "outside-in" instead of "inside-out". Most of the times, we are actually searching for imperfections in ourselves rather than appreciating what we are already blessed with. Ironically, we admit that no one is perfect, yet, we are constantly highlighting what we call "imperfection" which is merely "uniqueness".

Beauty may be magically embedded in a genuine smile, a loving look and even in a teasing frown. Our beauty is best reflected by acknowledging it first and appreciating it afterwards.
